Recapping, releasing the magic smoke (RIFA), memory upgrade, trace repair god, order of the broken floppy drive gear, or do you want serious ones?

"Learn to Battery" badge with a bombed battery.

Right. SD cards are going to eventually fail from the activity. I'm not sure how long and what the failure behavior would be like.

Think C is on my "to do" list. I like the idea of perusing multiple areas so I can switch back and forth. The HyperCard thing is going to take a couple of years to do.

I once had a SCSI2CD and have switched to using exclusively BlueSCSI. The kit price is reasonable and they are dead simple to setup and configure - especially since the latest firmware supports USB.

Very nice! I recently acquired a IIci almost as yellowed. I'll retr0brite it someday.

Hello fellow programmers! As some of you know, I'm working on a HyperCard authoring and programming series on YouTube. I've also recently started working on a project for installation, administration, and development of/in A/UX. The sysadmin thing isn't in my wheelhouse and will take some time...

This will be my first too. There are several YouTube walkarounds you can watch. Here's one from VCF East earlier this year.

Thanks for the advice. Plenty of choices!

Looking for a recommendation for a USB mouse suitable for an iBook G3/800. I have a Pro Mouse and really don't care for it. Too short of a cord and having the entire body move to click feels awkward. Would like to have something "matching" in style. If that's a Pro Mouse then so be it.

I’m really looking forward to meeting in 3D!

I will be attending the Vintage Computer Festival Midwest in Elmhurst, IL. This is the first For me. Thought I’d start a thread to discuss what it’s like, who will be there, any swap/sale items you might bring or what you are hoping to find. I’m looking for a Macintosh IIcx compatible...

Interested in hearing if the inexpensive multi-switch adapters worked or not. I'm getting a IIci in the near future and would like to find a solution that doesn't require hard to find monitors and/or expensive video scaler equipment.

Booting from USB worked after a nvram reset in open firmware. Installed OS9 and the eMac video drivers to solve the 1/4 screen size issue with the OS 9.2.2 drivers. I'm pretty sure this iBook has a replacement logic board that was better than the stock.

This is a very interesting project. I've always wondered what this would be like to use.

Thanks. I had this thing apart once already and now I'll have to do it again. Sigh...

Looks like I'll be doing something similar with my iBook. Just picked it up from eBay. Booted fine and ran for a couple of hours before the drive died. How did you get the OS installed? Did you have to image the drive or did you use the optical drive?

I recently created yet another Wordle clone in HyperCard. It's up in archive.org along with a game I write last year for the Royal Game of Ur.

Luke from Console5 didn't think the two power board caps needed replacing as they are unlikely to fail. Yes, they are polymers.

I've been working with HyperCard and a little with Think C. HyperCard is my go-to for developing applications for 68K Macs. Although I know C, I'm new to using the ROM toolbox routines.
