    Terminal / Modem program for Mac OS 8

    Hi all, I’ve got the Duo 2300c that I just got working and need to test the modem. ZTerm crashes and I’m afraid to bother with Claris Works cause it’s for System 7 and installs a bunch of crap. Anyone know of a good term program that will work on OS 8 wether it’s native PPC or not?

    Any interest in NEW Repro Lombard / Pismo battery packs?

    Yeah my first one didn't go well. Now i squeeze the packs to loosen up the glue as much as possible then slip a flat blade under the connector where the enclosure wraps around the connector and carefully pry it up till the case starts to come apart and then work your way around.

    Any interest in NEW Repro Lombard / Pismo battery packs?

    I have one good pack that I was able to open and I will be using that I have others that are mangled and it would be a lot nicer to have a new repro enclosure. It will look fine on the side if it's an exact replica and nearly the same color. A lot better than taping together a busted up old...

    Any interest in NEW Repro Lombard / Pismo battery packs?

    An update on the Pismo / Loma are pack project. Well 8 or the 9 cells I ordered arrived 🤦‍♂️ so waiting on the other one to do the first test build. Good news is they seem to be good cells that are actually the mah rating or higher after doing some discharge tests. They are each 3300mah. I was...

    How to print to any printer from Classic Mac OS using macOS / X.

    Macintosh IIci Logicboard recreation

    I’m looking for a iici or a iicx board. I’ve recapped and repaired mine but I think it’s faulty. I have to have a ROMinator in it to work probly and I think it still has issues. My cards aren’t working. Only the video card.

    BlueSCSI on Macintosh Portable

    BlueSCSI on Macintosh Portable

    I think that’s just the “desktop” version of bluescsi board… The v2 with a Pico W can do WiFi so your portable can get online and wirelessly AppleShare to another WiFi Mac with AppleTalk and AppleShare enabled and so other network things. System 6.0.8 will be pretty limited compared to 7 just...

    Any interest in NEW Repro Lombard / Pismo battery packs?

    No I designed my own. I have one up on ebay right now. It has 10 2600mah (5200mah total) Eneloop Pro cells in it. I payed more for them than i am selling the pack for. asking $50.00 + shipping.. If interested I'll pull it off ebay and sell direct to you. I also just made two new packs that have...

    Any interest in NEW Repro Lombard / Pismo battery packs?

    Well I think so from what I’ve found online. I mean you have to connect the circuit board to it and spot weld the cells correctly but then I think it should work unless it needs to be reset or something to on the chip but I don’t think so. I found a page on one guy replacing them and it it...

    Any interest in NEW Repro Lombard / Pismo battery packs?

    Same here. I get about 20 mins or so. But I’ve read that if it dies completely then the machine won’t even run. Or has issue. I’ll have to test that to confirm if it’s true or not. I’ve been building PB 1xx, and Mac portable packs so I figured I’d give these a shot. here’s some photos of the...

    G3 Kanga Repair

    I just opened it up to inspect and this melting damage is mind boggling. Not only the mysterious plastic melting on the hinge cover but the solid aluminum mounts under neither it are also melted! Melted metal! And the battery shows no signs of damage a tiny slight bit of corrosion but that’s it...

    G3 Kanga Repair

    Hi all, I just dragged my G3 Kanga out from hibernation for the last 25 years and although the bottom of the shell enclosure is crumbling apart so bad I had to piece it all together with packing tape, the rest of it is in decent shape but it has the commonly occurring display issue with a...
