I was playing around with Buckshot today, even before I discovered this thread. I was Googling about how to get the exported graphics to display, and it was then I found this thread. Funny that I missed seeing it back in April. Anyway, I am finding A2Desktop to be the drop-dead easiest means...

I wrote email after email to Alsoft regarding DiskWarrior over the years. They refused to tell me when the app would be updated. But it has been so many years that it is 100% clear the company must have gone broke and cannot afford to pay somebody to update it. It's now defunct software...

@Highsheep Based on what you wrote on the 68kMLA here and in this thread too, it seems your problems began after you starting using BlueSCSI, so I will let @eric share his speculations about that. @jibsaramnim asked you about capacitor replacement, which is exactly what I told you by PM too...

I was really hoping someone would comment on that, so thank you! You are the first to have noticed and commented about it, so far. I really do think he did fantastic work, and it was just by happenstance I even came across his music in the first place. It certainly added a lot to the video, I...

Oh, certainly, Colin. Helping one's mother in need is always paramount. I applaud Sean for making an excellent decision to do that. But of course, the decision was probably logical too. 🖖 When pondering one's vintage Mac collection, it's hard to find a model that sells for as much as a TAM...

I would agree that $150 would be a dealbreaker for many people. Once you’re paying that amount, you might as well search for the real deal and even if it cost more you could still say you got the Farallon product. $50 would probably be the sweet spot that would capture the interest of a wider...

By the way, I spotted a $4,000 TAM on FaceBook with a G3 processor upgrade... Link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1724146854327686

I'm probably going get hit for saying this by TAM fans, but I've never understood the appeal of the TAM. It has a "unique" design to be sure, but not one that I personally find aesthetically pleasing. Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder, of course. Even so, the display is small, the...

PIC12F1501 appears in the T48 Universal Programmer IC compatibility list: http://www.xgecu.com/MiniPro/T48_List.txt Despite the fact I recently purchased a T48, I've never programmed a PIC with it, since I have two ProMate 3 programmers at the office, which are super expensive but work like...

Capture board: https://www.ebay.com/itm/192866026620 But to find out the details would require a search of old MacUser and Macworld magazine issues.

I believe this is what you need, Mark: https://www.bigmessowires.com/yellowstone/ The optional adapter seems to be required for the DuoDisk, according to the documentation: https://www.bigmessowires.com/ys/yellowstone-instructions.pdf No mention of a version of the IIe being too old, so I...

Although you can find the install video link on the EBAY page, here it is again for convenience:

@Stephen Your 3D work is really incredible. Bravo, my friend! Bravo!

I just posted a new video that takes a deep look at how to make longer boot chimes for ROM-inator Resurrections. I hope this increases interest and enthusiasm about the little device, which I personally think is nothing short of fantastic!

In May 2024, I was asked if I could assist a hard drive collector who had a bad 10MB MMI hard disk drive quite similar to the one on my HyperDrive 10 kit. What was asked of me was risky. He wanted an EPROM dump, but the EPROM was soldered. Despite the risks, I thought it best to assist him for...

Not to mention all the data loss at the-other-forum-which-shall-not-be-named through the years. The goal with TinkerDifferent set out to change that, with people who run this great forum being part of the vintage computer community, rather than just one person who may pass away or lose interest...

@JdM74 put a lot of work into his two spreadsheets. His incredible attention to detail and excellent content layout will no doubt make it far easier than ever before for anyone trying to do the SE Reloaded and IIci Reloaded builds. And I think that's important because the easier we can make...

Yes, that button is terribly unfortunate. As much as I love to rave about the G4 Cube, that awesome looking power button tech wasn't fully fleshed out before the machine was released. Fabulous concept. Less than stellar execution. Very interesting. Hmmm... I too used an mSATA SSD in an IDE...

I disconnected the button atop my Cube many years ago due to unstable behavior (e.g., fluorescent overhead lights even triggering wake, sudden shutdowns, etc.). With that button disconnected, I opted to use the button on my matching 15" LCD instead. It's really a tragedy that the CubeOwner was...

I have not used one, but I wish to share my past experience with VRMs. I used to be very active in the CubeOwner forums, but that site has been down for years, and sadly, Internet Archive doesn't let me browse my old posts. I did go through some emails today, from 2004 to 2007, showing I had...
