    Macintosh LCIII

    They look pretty straight forward for bodges, I will add one thing though. Scrape the green corrosion under the mask that has seeped into the ground plane as it will only worsen/travel.

    Using an Adaptec PowerDomain 2930 SCSI Card in Mac OS X with my Nikon LS-2000 Film Scanner

    Oh man! The quality of these slides on Fujichrome? stunning! I indulged in some of the last rolls of Kodachrome a few years back and made a process to develop it at home (not an easy task). The results are beautiful, I really do miss some of these old films.

    Pip pip pip!?

    Shut the front door! That's very interesting, I hadn't any clue they were also available for Macintosh computers. I only assumed it was a Pippin controller given the embossed "PIPPIN" logo and shape. I'll have to gander for that software, could be a very fun new toy! Flappy Mac high scores...

    Pip pip pip!?

    I found this little bugger for $20 cad and genuinely thought it may be interesting to see if "Apple Jack" can translate to ADB and perhaps use this boomerang as a Macintosh gamepad. Now if you'll excuse me I'll be waiting patiently for the $20 Pippin console to match! (Dream on eh?)

    Sanyo Monster

    Sanyo 50T51R or rebranded by Sears as the "Go anywhere TV". Sears marketing really nailed the name on that one! The Sanyo unit seems much less common, I had picked it up for $20cad from a Goodwill display case. I honestly just thought it was neat!

    Making a DB19 from a DB25

    This reminded me of something I had tucked away. Was attached to a IIc I bought years ago.

    Recapping a PowerMac 8600 PSU

    Does anyone have the pinout of the 8600 psu? Curious if an ATX psu could be rewired (akin to rewiring for Q700, IIci etc)

    Sanyo Monster

    @Action Retro latest video was a great showcase for vintage "portables" BUT can it really be a gaming machine if it doesn't have battletoads?!? Seans latest video:

    Its takes about 35 seconds for the solder paste to flow, not that drag soldering doesnt suffice but this is a decent way to get a bunch done in one sitting :)

    DRAM Liberator!

    @rdmark was recently looking for some verified DRAM for an Apple IIC project and I had recently just gone through my stack of salvaged parts to pull some for their repairs. While doing so I thought it the perfect opportunity to showcase @Stephen amazing little device! The DRAM Liberator is an...

    Safe to remove IIc keyboard spill guard?

    Get rid of it! There's a new world of tactility waiting for you once that cursed, degrading "spill" guard is tossed into the trash. If that rubber mat was going to save anything they'd install one into the Alps units as well haha (but they didn't)

    Site for NeXTStep software?

    I've never found ONE true source, always a mix of archive.org and weird one off sites like: http://www.shawcomputing.net/resources/next/applications.html

    Color Classic Mystic Upgrade

    I'll give it a month before @Kay K.M.Mods convinces you into building a Takky mod ;) I'm in the middle of restoring a Takky purchased from Japan last week where the original owner had used a 6200 A/V motherboard. I've actually been having a lot of fun using the video inputs! (This is all...
