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...

I've lived in Japan 30 years. There have been times when a U.S. based seller refused to ship to me in Japan, and in cases when I could not get a family member to accept the package and re-ship to me, I turned to AM Forward, in Oregon (where there is no sales tax, although upon entry into Japan...

Sorry for my delayed reply. It was a 3-day holiday weekend here in Japan, and my Portable was left at the office. I moved the Brightness CP outside the System Folder (System 7.1) to make sure it would not load, and then I rebooted. Interestingly, the backlight came on very quickly during the...

Wow! Thank you very much. I sincerely appreciate your time on putting that together for me. Truly! Since I am completely inexperienced with this, I see it will take me some time to sift through. And it's also clear I would have been utterly lost without your guidance. That's not to say I...

@SuperSVGA I uploaded the v1.3.1 "Portable" Control Panel to Macintosh Garden, where it is found as DL#6. Without you, this wouldn't have been possible. So thank you again. I do wish to ask if you have ever used Ghidra or otherwise decompiled 68K Mac software? I can get it to launch on my...

I did not setup any shortcut keys. I merely assumed based on prior dialog that the arrow keys might work to adjust brightness, and when they did not, I then tried various key combinations in vain, such as CMD-ArrowUp, CMD-Arrow-Down, OPT-Arrow-Up, CTRL-ArrowUp, Shift-CMD-ArrowUp, etc. Nothing...

Lunch Break Test Results: Booted my 5126 Portable from a System 6.0.7 1.44MB floppy disk image on my FloppyEMU, which had the version 1.0 Brightness CDEV and version 1.3 "Portable" CDEV installed. Brightness does not appear when you click Control Panel in the Apple menu. Only Portable...
