Do any of you know how to display the Frame Rate in Doom II or Marathon or Wolfenstein 3D or Dark Forces? I'm overclocking my Color Classic Mystic and want to show before/after FPS. https://macintoshgarden.org/games/doom-ii

Thank you very much for making time to watch my screencast! It seems you are suggesting we consider 1 of 2 things: 1. Rebuild the record content inside a different database and then hire someone to build a custom UI on top of that. or 2. Hire a PHP programmer to do the API interface with our...

Thank you for the suggestions. I'd never heard of Caddy before, but looking at the website now, I see it is web server software. Since we are on a shared hosting server (not a dedicated server), which is deliberate on our part to keep our web serving costs to a rock bottom minimum, I don't see...

Sorry for my delayed reply. I am just too busy to reply when at home these days with my wife still hospitalized, but now that I am here at work, I can make the time since, technically speaking, this is work-related. Looking at my website folder hierarchy, I see this: home > public_html > dev...

Thank you for the recommendation. I suppose it boils down to what our web host provider will allow. We pay MacUSA to host our FileMaker databases, but we pay a different company (Superior Host) to host our websites. Our websites are on shared hosting, not a dedicated server. That keeps costs...

Work related question today. Since I am talking about "vintage" software for Macs, I felt it only reasonable to post my query on TinkerDifferent! :-) Many years ago, my employer paid a web programmer to build a mySQL database for us, such that we could put our car security related vehicle...

@Kay K.M.Mods has done the stereo mod. Maybe he knows the secret to getting the full "Monitors & Sound" control panel to display in System 7.6 or 8.1?

To continue the adventure, here's my newly released video (Part I) on Spicy O'Clock: I had to abruptly cut it short due to an ongoing family medical emergency, which I explain in the ending segment and text description. But it's enough information to help people get started with the amazing...

For those of you with more than 32MB of RAM in your Color Classic Mystic (e.g., a 64MB SIMM or 128MB SIMM), what things are you doing with your Mac to take advantage of all that RAM, or is it largely wasted? I ask because I have 32MB + 4MB right now, and I am not coming close to filling the...

Sorry for my delayed reply. I've been dealing with a family medical emergency since the 21st, and it is still ongoing. I've not tested this, but what happens if you install Wish I Were and set it to a Mac which supports that expanded Monitors & Sound control panel?

I have been referencing that Stuart Bell / Alexey Danilchenko guide, which you can find still online (in addition to Archive.org) here: https://www.applefritter.com/powercolorclassic/stuartbell/compends As always, the processes we find online are short on details (e.g., what is CS2? CS6?)...

How many seconds does it take before you see something on the CRT after pressing the power key on the keyboard?

No doubt Kai is a Back to the Future fan too, but I suspect he has a lot on his plate right now, which is why I didn't want to double-dog dare him myself. Goodness knows that I am so busy I could scream! Even so, it might be good to check the interest among people the vintage Mac and Apple...

The stereo mode involves much, much more than just adding another speaker. It will take a long time for me to explain the procedure properly which is why I want to make a video on it. I simply thought you had found a place on the Internet that described all the parts that you need. there’s...

Thank you, Stephen! That datasheet covers the 128MB VRAM stick owned by Kay Koba. Checking the IC p/n on the 64MB VRAM sticks linked in my opening post (as per the photos on EBAY), I see they too are 3.3V! https://www.datasheets360.com/pdf/-2025349853503483442 So it's rather clear that 3.3V...

So you put one 10kΩ resistor from the RED wire (Right) in your picture above to the BLK (GND), and then put another 10kΩ resistor from the WHT (Left) wire to BLK (GND), correct? And previously, you had the two 10kΩ resistors inline with each of the RED & WHT wires (i.e., not going to GND), correct?

So based on the RAM that Kay Koba and Mr. F. have, it would seem that PARITY doesn't matter, and RAM with 7 or 8 or more chips doesn't matter either. Although we've not gotten too specific about what vintage Macs all of this RAM works in, except that Kay's RAM does indeed work in the LC575...

Those chips are owned by @Kay K.M.Mods . Maybe when he has time he can tell us how hot they get when overclocked. That might tell us a lot about the printed numbers being real or fake.

If one of you could sketch out a simple wiring diagram for the connections, including the resistors, that might help others who are following this thread with interest. No rush. Just whenever you have time.

These are the markings on the LC040 that came with the LC575 in untouched condition which I purchased on Yahoo Auctions Japan at the end of 2021... TOP LEFT SIDE Those markings are originals make by Motorola and do not come off even after repeated application and removal of thermal tape...
