I do as well. Unfortunately, I also have 3m of the 1.0mm ID tubing that does not grip the shaft well enough to work. but if anyone needs any, I have plenty of supply as well.

Trying to get my IIsi to output to an LCD and am struggling. I've tried with various dip switch settings in the Sony MacView LX (started with my standard VGA/SVGA mode setting). My Eizo FlexScan S1923 monitor claims to support sync on green. However, I am unable to get it to register any...

Yeah, the 0.8 works much better. I also have a ton if anyone needs any.

Actually, I just found out every Mac has an API, but it’d be pretty expensive to do over time. Also, I’d have to be careful about how often I look up information. I’d have to download the info when a device was added versus doing a realtime lookup every time you view a device, which would be...

OK, I found yet another Airtable alternative. NoCoDB is promising in that it seems to support nearly everything Baserow does, but it offers row commenting in its free tier. The part I can't determine, is whether there is a dependency on their company. It's also able to be deployed self hosted...

I don't have a 240v PSU setup, but I'd imagine the markings are indicating where they should be connected for different input voltages. My guess is someone else tried to switch to 240v and missed that other jumper, frying things in the process.

Does the machine stop responding if you try to play certain sounds? I had an SE/30 that had no sound from the speaker or headphone ports. When I opened the sound control panel it would hang (mouse would move, but couldn't click anything. Turned out there was a broken trace from the UE10 chip...

Baserow looks promising. It features much of the capabilities of AirTable. Two things it lacks - a native iOS app (probably could live with, given the web interface is responsive. Not as nice as the AirTable native app, but probably good enough. The second thing I found could be a...

I would love to use Airtable, given that it seems to be very flexible and would even provide me the ability to store images and a comment stream on my devices. I'm really worried about their ability to keep it free / functional. The other problem I'd have is the amount of images I want to...

Yeah, while it would be cool to do on one of the vintage machines - I want the redundancy of my NAS storage, and the accessibility of a web server for the linking from a QR code on my phone. In theory, I could host the database, web server, and API server on one of my G4s, but I'm worried about...

Yeah, there's some apps for doing collection management. But they all lack what I think is a key component, the ability to generate a QR code to link back to the entry from the physical device (that I can tell). I want my workflow to be - grab a device to work on, scan the QR code to pull up...

Yeah, when I had a handful of devices, I could remember, but now 3-4 years in, with 142 devices (I just added a count to my list page to figure that out), I have trouble remembering what I've done to various machines, and what state they are in. I try to keep all my devices functional, but I do...

Just wondering how others manage your collections. I started with sticky notes on the devices with notes, then moved to a spreadsheet, then I decided I wanted to have a better way to do it, so I went about building myself a system to do it. I am not a web developer, so it's not well written...

I can vouch for this product. I picked up a portable with the backlight upgrade that had had the display cable intentionally cut. @Androda was able to sell me a replacement (along with a new hybrid board) and get my machine back up and running.

The G5's are pretty sturdy. If you did need to re-inforce, I'd say the only part that would need it would be the bottom legs. maybe put some wooden blocks cut to size. The downside is you'd be able to see the wood from the front and back.

Yeah, I put in a fresh MeowToast with new CR2032. I also tried the reset button (which immediately snapped off), and the power on / off / on trick. No signed of life. Hoping a recap does it, but may be in the market for a replacement PSU...

Someone listed a G4 locally on FB Marketplace and I fortunately caught it quickly, since it had the Zip750 drive with face plate. It allowed me to complete my PowerMac G3/G3 tower collection (not every iteration, but every design) with Zip drives. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get it...

Sadly, my excitement was short lived. The 6115 wouldn't even power on. Likely the PSU, but waiting on some caps to see if a recap does the trick. If anyone has a good spare 61xx power supply they are willing to sell, let me know. I'd imagine running with the DOS card is harder on the PSU than...

Making the solid platinum beige sides blue translucent is beyond my level of expertise. Also, you'd just be looking at metal shielding.

Yeah, I was worried the black would really make the yellowing in of the translucent parts stand out (versus the beige making it look whiter), but it actually isn't too bad. If it was pristine white translucent, I think it would look really good. Overall, I'm happy with it. I'll need to get a...
