    What did you cook today?

    Your efforts of the day look AMAZING! Grew up on a family farm in what's now suburban Fort Wayne, Indiana. Oatmeal is basic Farmer Fare. With raspberry bushes, cows, Cream Separator and Butter Churn machines in the basement it was spiced up just so nice! Chickens and hogs produced the makings...

    CayMac IIsi Mean Well PSU Replacement

    BOM Mouser listing is a really nice touch @Fizzbinn! But @ $33.21 + PSU + PCB = ? Someone at the MLA developed a PicoPSU based replacement for the IIsi. For sale or kit form, dunno at this point, but I sorta lost interest a while back when @zigzagjoe told me about their limitations when it...

    Dell System 310

    Not to worry, I've used every forum that's been around for my project logs for all manner of stuff! I always ask for help and many times members will pitch in to do the stuff that's way above my pay grade. Besides, this place needs all the real interaction it can get in the fora.;)

    Dell System 310

    Very cool stuff, gotta make an encouraging post, hate it when my projects never get them. Likes suck. Best of luck with this great project, have at it and keep us updated. I could only swing building an SX/25 system with FPU (SCSI card/HDD too) back in the day for graphics when CorelDraw and...

    68kmla MIA

    I've been looking for a card with an unobtanium, last revision ROM on it for freakin' YEARS! Pulling batteries of every kind from every Mac I ran across it packed up in a random box in a storage drawer just now . . . . . . and I can't even let him know! =8-P edit: back up, message sent!

    BlueSCSI Laptop to external WiFi Antenna?

    My reply to Q630 question at MLA: IDC 50M connector crimped onto the SCSI section of the harness underneath the CD adapter bar would be my suggestion. Unless you listen to radio with the tuner box, that cubic might be about perfect for a laptop SD solution? Out of town ATM, so I can't check...

    BlueSCSI Laptop to external WiFi Antenna?

    Found an even better solution, perfect PICOw mod for external or 'Book lid internal antennas: Seems like an easy enough mod that's better/more flexible by installing a cut cable's leads directly to board contacts leading to the antenna connector on the other end rather than installing a...

    BlueSCSI Laptop to external WiFi Antenna?

    Found an off the shelf solution: https://shop.funand.tech/products/raspberry-pi-zero-2w-with-external-wifi-antenna-connector-u-fl It's massive overkill to treat the SCSI to SD conversion as a HAT on a full blown Linux Computer, but the added CPU cost isn't prohibitive. Now thinking in terms of...

    BlueSCSI Laptop to external WiFi Antenna?

    Wondering if a hookup or workaround for running an external antenna lead outside the RFI shielding of a Mac is a possibility? Running the lead to a wire type antenna in a PowerBook lid might be ideal? RFI shielding of a Duo's HDD bay can be tucked underneath, but dunno about other 'Books? Also...

    2UBG3: Beige G3 2U-Rackmount Build Obsession Revived!

    Got some advice over at the MLA about fan specs, got the controllers and knocked together a "Front Panel" prototype from aluminum step flashing: Planning to try the PWM fans in there first just cuz. If they don't work out Quiet Noctuas seem the ticket. Front panel (machine's mounted...

    2026 PowerPC Challenge: the user's Unofficial thread

    From what I've observed, the challenge is a January event focusing on PPC Macs. Marchintosh is also a monthlong focus on anything Mac related. Projects are cool all year long, but those two months seem to be community sharing events as opposed to individual topics.

    2UBG3: Beige G3 2U-Rackmount Build Obsession Revived!

    Metal work is most all done, it's on to Plexi fabrication next. 2.5" UltraSCSI drive will be mounted to hinged lid along with the Whisper Card on the large lid. Nothing mounted to the PCI Card Cage lid. Will be fabbing 5mm Panels running down the sides, to support the clear covers. This remains...

    Never wanted one or any X (only) infested Mac, but I'm out of G4 series backup machines . . . sigh.

    Using Vintage Macs for Productivity and Document Drafting

    Heh! Also reported as having tendencies to scavenge and hoard shiny objects. ;) Back on topic: I do all my graphics work on rent free, bought and licensed Adobe Illustrator versions in OS9 on G4s. Once the MDD/FW400 is finally set up, I'm out of backup machines. They have all been upgrades...

    2UBG3: Beige G3 2U-Rackmount Build Obsession Revived!

    Found three sticks of 64MB EDO MEMORY RAM ECC UNBUFF 60NS DIMM 168-pin 3.3v in the HackHutch with the speaker and such. I think I got it to max out this machine or did I buy it for something else maybe? Anybody know offhand? I've got a couple of stripped out towers with double the memory...

    2UBG3: Beige G3 2U-Rackmount Build Obsession Revived!

    Well, no plan of battle survives contact with the enemy . . . so it goes . . . I LOVE this case, all machine screws, no rivets or spot welds connecting anything! But it does come up short of the acreage across which I'd splayed the components out in the pic above. Bobtailed butt sitting...
