I use either a MBP or iMac exclusively to post and check posts here on TD. I only resort to mobile in a serious pinch because I still have an iPhone 7 which has a screen that is a bit too tiny for my eyes. Eliminating the reaction notifications does have an upside. It's a bit spooky to have...

So basically you swapped the CPU on your card in the PowerBook Wallstreet, not because the CPU was bad, but because you were hoping for better performance, even at the same clock speed, but you found that you needed to adjust the voltage going to the new CPU in order for it to become stable...

I too have a Wallstreet but never tried to overclock it, so I cannot provide help about voltage adjustments. But you only need to adjust voltages when overclocking, and how are you going about that?

Thanks for the link! It's a bit out of the way, and I would either need to pay for parking or take the train to get there, but it's nice to know of that place should I ever been in the area. More recently, I found that Meat Express does a great job, mainly because they have Mexicans on staff...

The reason I mentioned being hungry for tacos is because I live in Japan, which is a country where Mexican food is rather scarce. Compounding the problem is the fact I grew up in California, where 39% of the population is hispanic, and where a Mexican food place can be spotted around every corner.

Thanks for replying. @Crutch asked for 2 things... If you and the rest of the board are unsure if making those 2 changes good thing, maybe poll forum members to determine if others feel the same, then decide whether to make changes or not?

Well, I have a big enough headache right now with just the one joystick, at least when it comes to getting Joystick Shield to JustWork™ with my Mach III's internal capacitors. And while I could drill holes in my joystick to accommodate a mechanical switch to enable/disable the caps, it's far...

I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me what "forbidden salsa" means. About the only thing that did for me was make me hungry for a taco. 🌮

Great idea, although beyond my capabilities. I do appreciate that link though. Interesting to see Karateka can accommodate two players now, although both are stuck with the keyboard.

Sure, no problem.

Those 3 "Spock reactions" exist because he is half-human. I'm not against emoji, but being a child of the 70's, I grew up when those things didn't exist and when we wrote text as text. Not even a single semi-colon winky-face to be found. Text in those days was dry and boring yet still very...

While deeply pondering this... :):(:mad::confused::p:D:eek::oops::rolleyes:o_O:cautious::censored::cry::love::LOL::ROFLMAO::sick::sleep::sneaky::unsure::whistle::giggle::alien::devilish::geek::poop::ninja: ... I realize we humans are much too emotional. That is perhaps why I enjoy what this...

We shouldn't bash Maxell, of course. But realistically, when you read through this thread of horror and ponder what the owners of those machines must have uttered when they saw the disaster, I suspect they did cast at least a teensy bit a blame Maxell's way. :-)

@retr01 Download Computer Inspector and use the Joystick calibration program. It's what I use and works fine in the Virtual ][ emulator. It's better than those simplistic BASIC programs which only show the two numbers.

Interesting someone from their company made time to even reply. I didn't know they had a PR department. While that explanation is to be expected, it doesn't explain why a disproportionate number of Maxell branded batteries in vintage Macs tend to destroy those precious machines far more than...

Welcome to the TinkerDifferent forum, @PiperTheGreat! Your mention of Acorn reminds me that although we do have a sub-forum for that, it hasn't gained much traction. I guess there are very few people out there who have them or have interest in them these days. Anyway, enjoy the forum. I look...

The only one thing I never asked him is perhaps something you still can... What part of the code affects the outer reach of the stick when it's pulled right and pulled down. If we know how to fiddle with the code, then compile it, we already know how to program a HEX file, so it would then be...

As I mentioned in this earlier post, Henry from ReactiveMicro saw an issue on his end and he altered something in the firmware and sent me this HEX file. I downloaded and flashed that file to my Joystick Shield, but it did not resolve the problem (when two capacitors are installed). I would...
