    Interesting solution for LocalTalk to Ethernet bridge

    Yes, but the EtherMac Printer Adapter is for getting a single LocalTalk device connected to Ethernet. I have the very similar EtherMac PowerBook Adapter. Lots of info here: https://web.archive.org/web/19980111201303/http://www.farallon.com/support/faqs/en/pbafaq.html On neat thing with these...

    Interesting solution for LocalTalk to Ethernet bridge

    I have this Farallon adapter, since it has a single PhoneNet connector it just goes at one end of PhoneNet LocalTalk daisy chain network, you don't need a PhoneNet adapter for it. Ethernet switch <- Ethernet cable -> Farallon adapter <- phone cable -> PhoneNet adapter to old Mac <- phone cable...

    Interesting solution for LocalTalk to Ethernet bridge

    This is just a physical media bridge for the AppleTalk network protocol, LocalTalk <-> Ethernet. You would need a MacIP Gateway (software or device with both AppleTalk and TCP/IP plus encapsulation code) and MacIP client software to be able to get Mac with only AppleTalk networking connected to...

    3.5" Hard Drive 50-pin SCSI Reference Design

    Something like this does seems like it could be very useful for owners of LC/Perfoma 520/550/575! I recently ran into this myself in trying to figure out how to connect up a BlueSCSI to my LC575 in place of the internal HD. I have a short 50 pin extension on order but its going to be a pain to...

    Cleaning solutions for ultrasonic cleaning of electronics?

    In the States here, I couldn't easily find Branson EC a year ago when I was setting up my VEVOR 30L Ultrasonic Cleaner (although perhaps I didn't do such a good job searching...). I ended up going with this which was available on Amazon: Elmasonic 800 0102 Elma TEC Clean A1 Ultrasonic Cleaner...

    What are your vintage grail items?

    I would like to find a SE SuperDrive, SE/30, and/or a Classic/Classic2. It’s a design thing for me too. Mostly. And I’m totally with you on the trashcan Mac Pro, always made me scratch my head but it’s undeniably interesting and unique.

    Power Macintosh 475

    I also wonder if the Apple version can actually do 3x or 4x bus multipliers if some resistors are moved around. I‘m pretty sure I read somewhere that DayStar built the Apple one for them so the two boards are likely very similar...

    Power Macintosh 475

    Awesome! I hope to join you in this one day, with a Power Macintosh 605/100 in my case! This is one of the many project that I have on deck held up by something or another. My problem here is while I have the DayStar 100MHz version (yay!) and it lets you set the bus clock multiplier to 3x or 4x...

    Capacitor List for IIsi Power Supply

    No problem, at least maybe a place to start. Looked up the 33µf - 25V - SMT and it appears to be on order until next April… You can always go higher on the voltage rating, or look for a different brand I suppose. :-/ For the radials if some are out of stock make sure you pay attention to the...

    What do you like to eat when you don’t want to cook?

    I wish I had that, looks delicious! Perhaps I need to stock my cabinets/frig better…. Cheese and crackers, a simple sandwich, maybe baby carrots if I have them.

    Capacitor List for IIsi Power Supply

    I’ve used this lot from Mouser to restore 3 Macintosh IIsi Power Supplies successfully: IIsi Power Supply (Sony) Radial caps: 2 x 220µf x 250v - radial (C101, C102) - 19D x 35L :: Mouser 647-UCS2E221MHD - 18D x 31.5L - 10000 Hour 2 x 2200µf x 6.3v - radial (C202, C203) - 10D x 30L :: Mouser...

    PB 540c HD upgrade (BlueSCSI vs. OEM & SCSI2SD)

    Thought I'd share my experience with replacing the orginal hard drive in my PowerBook 540c with a BlueSCSI and some tests I did to see how it compares with the original HD and a SCSI2SD I had in my PowerBook 180. I ordered the PowerBook BlueSCSI Version 4 [F1.TbA.PB.V4] from Tech by Androda...
