    Open Box iBook G3 900

    "Lightly used" indeed!

    Apple III garbage on screen at startup

    The video ROM might help, since you don't have anything recognizeable as characters in those pictures (the A3 should come up in text mode). Mine had properly formed characters; the screen was just garbage.

    Apple III garbage on screen at startup

    I don't have much insight here for you but my Apple III did something similar and I put it in storage to ponder how to fix it. I don't remember the caps looking as bad as that but I'll check them again next time I'm in that unit.

    Having issues with Disk Copy 4.2 (running in classic) on mac os x 10.4 tiger

    All iMac G4 systems should be able to boot OS 9, either officially or (for those units that Apple didn't support) using the unofficial booters at https://www.macos9lives.com/downloads .

    [eMac/1.25] OS 9 no longer boots after installing OS X on separate partition

    What does it say in Open Firmware when you try? You didn't whack the OS 9 drivers in the process, I hope? The Tiger installer may have installed a different driver.

    Power supply interchangeability between different 68K Macintosh models?

    Great list. Pretty sure the Power Mac 7600 PSU is interchangeable with the 72/73/7500 also, though I'd have to dig mine out of storage to check.

    Software-only OVERCLOCK for LC475, LC575, Quadra 605

    Well, I'll just say for one: it's not that I'm uninterested, it's that I don't know how my Mystic Colour Classic would react.

    A (mostly) successful IIsi restoration

    The IIsi was the first Mac I owned personally, so I have a soft spot for them. Glad to see this one lives.

    The Symbolics MacIvory Lisp machine I have hated (with an 8*24*GC)

    I finally got around to refurbishing my troublesome IIci with a MacIvory III, the last and most powerful of the NuBus Lisp coprocessor boards running Genera, and a direct descendant of the MIT Lisp machines. This machine all told has cost me over $6000, first the $4500 purchase price - which...

    IBM PC Server 330 won’t boot

    I'd start with forum.vcfed.org or you could ask on the cctalk list. There are many PS/2 specialists in both places.

    Erics Finds

    I'm sure it will be epic once you get the LCD back in the right position ;) How much RAM does it say is installed? That said, it seems like the hard disk is shot or erased. While you can run NetBSD on it, it really ought to run the original AIX. Plus, you can do tricks like...

    queen-bee.honeycomb.net? Looks like it may have been at this company in the past: https://www.honeycomb.net/ At least you have the key! My EVT "ESB" prototype ANS had to be forcibly opened.

    TwiSlot PCI Riser and ComSlot2 NIC repro in widened CS riser form factor

    The ANS is Open Firmware, but a slightly later version (1.1.22 on my production ANS 500 and 700). I dumped the ROM over the serial port when I was experimenting with Power Mac NetWare (Shiner was the target system, and one ghost of it remains in its Forth words).

    ReStuff 2

    Note that you'll need WebAssembly for this because it's actually running on a Mac emulator. Any chance of getting it to run on a _real_ Mac?

    Making bootable disks for the Canon Cat

    Sure, by all means. I can also see if the tracks line up where they should.

    Making bootable disks for the Canon Cat

    Yes, that's the same drive and that sounds correct for the track counts. Disappointing that it still doesn't work. Are you able to use that drive to copy the disk the Cat will read and write (using the commands above)? Does the Cat read the copy?

    BlueSCSI V2 watchdog/timeout issues with Fastlane Z3

    I have a red ZuluSCSI (the newest RP2040-based board) in my QuikPak A4000T and it works great, though it's connected directly to motherboard SCSI.

    Programming the Convergent WorkSlate

    Many folks may be unaware of the oddball WorkSlate from Convergent Technologies, a 1983 slab portable with a 6800-family CPU where everything is a spreadsheet. It was a commercial failure after seven months and Convergent took millions of dollars in losses on it. A printer/plotter (with the...
