Anyone tried retrobrighting the keys / keyboard on the iBook G3 clamshell. Finally got my hands on one of my holy grail machines, a Lime 466MHz iBook. Unfortunately, I didn't notice in the pictures, but the keyboard seems like it might have been pulled from another machine (Indigo maybe)...

FYI, I uploaded my images to the garden. Let me know if anyone uses them and if they work for you. https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/beos-503

Sorry, I thought that was the official place - it came up first on the search I made... :(

You should just download a pre-made image (like the 6.0.8 boot disk found here: (Edit - removed my link - see @eric 's official location below. ) Upload that to your RaSCSI (after unzipping it), mount it, and when you boot you Mac Plus with the 6.0.8 40MB drive mounted and attached, it should...

Let me know if you want me to post my HD image. If you have a RaSCSI or some other way to load an image onto a HD, you can test with my exact install.

@eric , I have been able to get my BeOS disk image working fine on my RaSCSI. However, while I originally was able to get it to work in my BlueSCSI (external version, running the firmware with CD support), my TAM no longer will boot with my BlueSCSI in the external port. Nothing looks...

Couldn’t figure out the l2 cache size in software. But took some photos of the board installed into the cache slot. Did a search on the part number on the underside of the cache and it looks like it's the stock 256k card that I believe came with it.

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

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...

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...

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

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

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.

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...

Ha, glad I'm not the only one who has the New Mac candle! Fantastic setup!

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
