I've had one connected to a //c on display in my basement for about a year. I've only used it to load disk images over Wi-Fi from my NAS, but I know it's probably capable of so much more. I use it in conjunction with the BMOW drive switcher to boot floppy images (as opposed to smartport images).

No, because it's an AC fan. If it was a DC fan, then yes, but it's not. I just put the parts in big clear plastic storage bins, pour in a couple bottles of liquid 40 volume hair developer, and then fill with hose water until the parts are submerged. Then I leave them outside all day on a...

I mean, at the end of the day, you're enclosing the fan controller inside a sealed plastic box right next to a board with tons of exposed (when the enclosure is open) shock hazards. Operating the device with the enclosure open is already inherently risky because of that, and operating it with...

Your AC fan likely doesn't care about polarity...it's alternating current...the positive and negative sides are constantly switching places. I am not an electrician, but I believe the reason one prong is sometimes bigger on 2-prong AC plugs in the US is a safety measure. Meaning the narrow...

I don't know much about keyboards, but I believe all of the key switches are single-pole, single-throw, so not resoldering a switch should be the same as not pressing that key. So no, I wouldn't think you'd need to resolder them all (someone correct me if I'm wrong or if any of the key switches...

Where you've damaged a through-hole solder pad, use a hobby knife or scalpel to gently scrape away the solder mask covering the trace connected to the damaged area to expose some copper. Then, when you're soldering the switch back in, bridge the solder to that exposed copper. It will be easier...

Slot E is the NuBus slot furthest from the edge of the logic board and closest to the cache slot. They're labeled 'C', 'D', and 'E' on the logic board.

Some related anecdotal data. I just installed one of @max1zzz 's Rocket clones in my IIci alongside a Stage II Rocket, a RasterOps video card, and a Daystar Turbo040. Both Rockets and the IIci all have 128MB of RAM installed (all old-style 8-chip sticks). The PSU is the original Astec that's...

I spy a IIc Plus...I would be interested :)

Today I learned I've been opening IIc's the hard way (y)

That's a great, concise explanation of Docker and the types of problems it solves (y) I think when a lot of people first start learning about containers and Docker, the instinctive thing is to compare containers to virtual machines since they're conceptually similar in a lot of ways. An...

Where's the problem? 😁 Seriously though, I would use an emulator to switch back to your old system folder and then look for a 4mb memory expansion like @eric described.

Looks like it worked. I'll either need to enable remote administration with cupsctl or set up an SSH tunnel to access the web administration page from another computer on the LAN (no browser or windowing environment on the PI), but it appears to be running: pi3bplus:~ $ curl localhost:631...

I pulled that image, but looks like it's amd64 architecture and I'm on a Pi (arm). No worries though, I'll just wait for it to make its way to Docker Hub. I'm in no hurry to print...just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong (y)

@rdmark I went to try out the printing support with CUPS. The documentation for the Docker image says that the CUPS web interface should be running on port 631, but I don't seem to have anything running on that port. I'm using the host networking driver, so I shouldn't have to forward any...

I used the Netatalk Docker image and didn't enable the "INSECURE_AUTH" environment variable. So, looking at the Docker image's entrypoint script: it looks like my uam list is: uams_dhx.so uams_dhx2.so uams_randnum.so Where would I check the version of the AppleShare extension? Is this what...

I went this route and it's working beautifully. All of my Macs back to System 7.1 can now access my Synology NAS using a Pi running Netatalk4 as a bridge (y)

I've had success with submerging the metal chassis parts in this stuff...a better alternative to sanding: https://www.evapo-rust.com/

If you get it working and want to max the RAM, I can confirm that this 16MB kit works in the MicroMac MultiSpeed: https://www.tindie.com/products/siliconinsider/purpleram-16mb-4mb-x-4-30-pin-dram-simm-kit/

It is, but what little info I've been able to find on compiling your own kernel for it makes it sound like more trouble than it's worth. Maybe I'll just run Netatalk on a Pi and have the Pi mount the NAS storage via NFS 🤔
