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 🤔

I have a Synology DS220+ NAS that was running Netatalk 3 out of the box, but it doesn't play nice with some of my older macs (system 9.2.2 can see it, but system 7 can't). I recently decided to try turning off the built in AFP support (Netatalk 3) and install Netatalk 4 using the docker image...

Depending on how many of the custom ICs are hosed, this could be a fun project: https://github.com/kr239/Macintosh-Classic-Reloaded?tab=readme-ov-file

Mine with the 50Mhz oscillator is running the CPU and FPU at 25Mhz: Both the CPU and FPU clock pins are connected directly to the output of the flipflop IC next to the oscillator, so the flipflop is halving the frequency. That implies that, unless there were significantly different board...

I'm curious how you arrived at this mapping? I'd always just assumed the CPU was being run at half of the oscillator's frequency, but I've never verified that with a scope. I did find the below photo (not mine) of a MultiSpeed with a 40Mhz oscillator though, and 40/25 and 50/32 are similar...
