    How to set the current date on a Macintosh SE ?

    I love when you can use HyperCard to solve a problem. Reminds me of the batch file renaming stack I wrote when I couldn’t find any non-commercial (read: expensive) software to do the same thing. What version of system are you running? There’s also Rob Braun’s SetDate for System 6 and 7...

    Releasing my Macintosh Shareware in the Internet Archive, including registration keys and source code!

    MessagePad locked by PIN?

    Rather than a “brain wipe”, another method is to use a package called “Battering Ram Pro” … http://www.unna.org/view.php?/utilites/BatteringRamPro Additional information about the package and its use: http://myapplenewton.blogspot.com/2009/11/lost-your-power-on-password-battering.html

    Hey, Craig. I wondered when I’d run into someone else from Calgary around here. Yes, I do have a “few” TAMs kicking around (although some other folks are ahead of you in line) and a ton of other Mac gear around here. Are you looking for anything in particular. I would like to start thinning out...

    New uses for old MessagePads

    That makes sense. You could also up-res the screenshots using nearest neighbour resampling in Photoshop (or similar) to keep the sharp-edged bitmappiness. At any rate, really enjoying these.

    New uses for old MessagePads

    Nicely done. Have you tried exporting bitmap screenshot directly from the Newton instead of using the camera?

    I’ve always used ResEdit … particularly if I’m editing icons while using System 7.

    So, this isn’t for an actual band? It’s sporting quite a bit of vaporwave æsthetic.

    New Zip and Jaz Cartridge Testing Tool!

    I’m happy to report that the 0.1-beta-nov27 release runs under Mac OS 9.2.1 on my Power Macintosh G3. I’m running tests on several Zip disks this afternoon and will report my findings in the aforementioned discussion. A couple of initial observations: TIP does not like DOS formatted Zip disks...

    Resource Categories

    What if we provided lists of categorized links to existing posts for caps lists, teardown guides, overclocking information, and software (like SCSI Utilities & Drivers)? Given the shear number of subforums there are, having a single resource page with links to these similar chunks of content...
