    2022 PowerPC Challenge!

    My 1.3GHz G4 Cube is the only PPC Mac, other than my Wallstreet, that I consider a fun/useful machine. But I am far more into 68k Macs than I am PPC.

    2022 PowerPC Challenge!

    I don't see how 68k Macs would be allowed in anything that is deliberately restricted by name like "PowerPC" unless one has the said PPC upgrade card. It is a "PPC Challenge" and not a "68K Challenge," after all. If 68K Macs are allowed, then the name should change. If it doesn't, it would be...

    My MacSD Upgrade for the Colour Classic [and Stereo Mod]

    Well, folks, here's the finished Stereo Mod video which guides you through the entire process... Special thanks to @Kay K.M.Mods, @MacinJosh, and "jagmn" (68kMLA) for their kind contributions and PM exchanges which helped shape the content.

    Display graphic FULL SCREEN on Mac SE?

    I've not tried all your other suggestions, but I did comment on JPEGview here.

    I miss the internet...

    While I appreciate their work, they lack of completeness on their site has frustrated me for years. A huge amount of content, especially graphics from older sites, is missing entirely, and whenever anyone out there wants something taken down, it's so easy for them to lodge a complaint and get...

    Identifying and confirming fake 68040 CPUs (especially the L88M mask)

    John! It's great to see you here! I would assume they might do it for 10,000pcs. That traditionally has been the magic number to get anything built in China, and that number would probably make it financially worthwhile for them. However, I doubt that we could secure that level of interest...

    Make the Apple IIe Option Card software 32bit compatible?

    To date, Apple has indirectly helped the vintage Mac community by turning a blind eye to things like Reloaded motherboards, logo usage and the like. They are without a doubt aware of what we do, but I guess they've decided that letting Mac fans have the freedom to love very old Apple devices in...

    My MacSD Upgrade for the Colour Classic [and Stereo Mod]

    I can confirm today that after doing the STEREO MOD on my own Color Classic and when booted into OS 8.1, the Monitors and Sound control panel looks exactly the same as yours, without the additional controls like Balance. :-( What defines "stereo"? Is this dual Mono? I must assume it is Stereo...

    Fanny Mac Clone (Community Feedback)

    As much as I really like that name, I'm not sure if folks unfamiliar with the plethora of Spanish in California would be as warm to it. But MacBreeze or BreezyMac (quite similar to FannyMac without the fanny issues) might work. I think it's not time for @Stephen to chime in with his thoughts...

    Make the Apple IIe Option Card software 32bit compatible?

    If it sounded as it I was flippant with your excellent idea, Ron, please know that I was not and still am not. I had hoped my participation in this thread would serve to illustrate my keen interest in seeing this happen. My earlier remarks, which were deliberately made humorous and terse, were...

    For some reason that name somewhat reminds me of this hotel in California (no, not the Eagle's one): https://hoteldel.com Interestingly, there's a web page with a bunch of fan product brand names here: https://namesfrog.com/fan-brand-names/

    Now THAT is a significant list of "conquests" -- wow!

    Make the Apple IIe Option Card software 32bit compatible?

    They are hard to get at a decent price, and ones that come with the cables are harder to find and even pricier. I just happened to see a guy in a vintage Mac FaceBook group selling his, which looked absolutely awful because the cables were dirty and the card had leaked cap fluid all over it...

    Make the Apple IIe Option Card software 32bit compatible?

    My own needs are merely to use the Apple IIe card on an LC575 motherboard inside my Color Classic.

    Fanny Mac Clone (Community Feedback)

    Not to get too off-topic (we are talking about names for this thing after all), I have always considered the term "fanny" to be a much more subdued version of "ass" (the fatty part our bodies sit on). Indeed, I would say that mostly women seem to use "fanny" in my sphere, which always made me...

    Make the Apple IIe Option Card software 32bit compatible?

    There's something magical about the IIe Card, so I fully understand why @Ron's Computer Videos started this excellent thread. It would be great to accomplish today what those back in the day could not. We just need to overcome that negative ROI. Make it a long-term positive ROI like AAPL or...
