    BeOS Install

    Not sure on the L2 size. Looks like I have one installed (according to System Profile on the Mac side). I'll see if I can get the details for you. Here's my awacs file

    BeOS Install

    Yes, it has sound. Networking works. Only was able to get a couple of mp3s to work on it, but I'm guessing something about newer encodings is tripping up the player. I didn't use BeOS much (although I remember creating a stock ticker app on it that would scrape data from the yahoo finance...

    Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.

    Sorry to hear that. I was (am) excited about the possibility of TinkerDifferent being a long lasting resource for the retro Apple community. I have had many fantastic interactions with people here. and greatly respect all the amazing work you (and others) have put into the community, the...

    A “NEW” quadra 800?

    OG - original. Basically the 128k through the SE/30 with their built in handles in the top.

    A “NEW” quadra 800?

    What about a handle in the top, like the OG compact Macs?

    BeOS Install

    Getting some issues with it hanging on some boots from the blueSCSI. Not sure if it’s an issue with the blueSCSI, the image, the scsi on the TAM. But here is a picture as proof.

    BeOS Install

    So, I recently learned that the TAM (Twentieth Anniversary Mac) can run BeOS. The person who was running it said you can run BeOS Pro on the TAM, so I figured I'd give it a go. Well, similar to my challenging experience getting it installed on my PowerMac 6400, I struggled a bit and figured it...

    Using the Sun to restore a yellow Macintosh ☀️

    So your statement is that others (or you) have run into marbling and streaking using UV LED strips and plastic wrap? (i.e. not from cooking the peroxide in the sun with plastic wrap). Appreciate the passive-aggressive laughing at my post and then not answering the question. Sorry if you...

    Using the Sun to restore a yellow Macintosh ☀️

    I appreciate the response. However, you never seem to address my question. None of those results, including yours. have been linked to using plastic wrap in lower intensity UV LEDs without the extreme heat of the sun. Even the study you provided presents the hypothesis that bleaching is the...

    Using the Sun to restore a yellow Macintosh ☀️

    I've never said it's the recommended method. You are the only one making claims to what can be the approved / recommended / original / authorized method. Odd to be accused of that as all I've said is that it has worked for me for many projects and has never caused marbling or streaking, and I...

    Using the Sun to restore a yellow Macintosh ☀️

    As with the warning from @Javmast3r, I hope you have better luck. Depending on heat, humidity, and the intensity of the sun, you could have terrible results if you only plan to check every hour. In the southern US, I had to reapply every 10 minutes or so, and even then, I saw streak marks in...

    Using the Sun to restore a yellow Macintosh ☀️

    Curious, what damage to the plastics? Also, there's a difference between lazy and forgiving. Using the sun is unforgiving. Using plastic wrap in the sun will result in problems with the finish. I'll agree with that. But I have seen zero evidence that simply using plastic wrap is the source...

    Powermac G5 Bench / shelf

    Pe One holds the innards of a water cooled on that had so much corrosion ships were just falling off the board. The other powers on with no boot chime. I likely should have stripped the internal parts to make them less of a pain to move around, but they are still filled. Fireplace setting...

    Powermac G5 Bench / shelf

    I saw someone on reddit recently posted a picture of a bench in a school with two Powermac G5 towers as the base. I needed some more storage space for my Macs, and had two non-working G5s, and some woodworking tools. I really liked the idea to route the edges of the wood to fit in the curves...

    Anyone interested in VGA/DVI to ADC adapter?

    Ah, I didn't realize that and thought it simply used the analog pins (blades) on the DVI connector to send an analog signal. There's a user on reddit claiming to use his ADC CRT with the adapter board I made to run the ADC CRT off his Mac Pro (). I don't believe the Intel Mac Pro ever came...

    Anyone interested in VGA/DVI to ADC adapter?

    I know Apple has a DVI to ADC adapter / Power supply. I know of (and own) the Dr Bott's DVIator for connecting a computer with DVI out to an ADC monitor. The problem is, they only support digital signals, which means you cannot use them to connect a more modern computer to the best of all ADC...

    Radius Full Page Display connector

    I actually had my Apple 15" multi-scan display with HD-15 cable around, so I hooked it up to see what it would do. I do get a picture, but it is blue and distorted (resolution / refresh rate difference?). I can see the image well enough to move windows around, and even move the windows between...

    Radius Full Page Display connector

    Oh, so I can use a HD15 to DB15 adapter with the multi-sync setting to connect it to a normal VGA multi-sync CRT? I'll give that a try.

    Radius Full Page Display connector

    So I actually have the 75Hz version: https://web.archive.org/web/20120618162410/http://radius.vintagebox.de:80/RadiusQA/FPD_75Hz.html Looks like it uses a DB15 to HD15 cable normally. It sounds like it also is compatible with the Apple Portrait Display. I'm hoping that I can possibly find /...
