    Another curiosity of mine when I was a whee lad in the very early 80s - I could not for the life of me understand how Star Track worked. I mean there were no tracks in space AND the ship had no wheels to go down these nonexistent, invisible space tracks. This just did not compute in my 4 y/o...

    Anyone have the manual for an HP Vectra VL400 MT

    Anyone have the manual for an HP Vectra VL400 MT ? I picked one up for free and was curious about the jumper switches on the motherboard. I think this would be a fun candidate for a sleeper 1ghz P3 gaming box actually in a modern case. Anyhow, I ran a quick search and found nothing tangible so...

    I'd want to ditch the shiny wheels for the stock rims too but that is one fine looking vette' - Congrats :) oh yeah. so in 2021 I said I was going to sell that 300d. Well, turns out I had some test drives but no one wanted to commit, so it lives in my garage and continues as my daily commuter...

    Purchased a 400mhz G3 ZIFF Upgrade CPU but after installation G3 Still reports 266Mhz

    http://atxg4.com/mdd.html Recapping the PSU might be a worthwhile weekend venture as well if you know the cap values. @The House of Moth has instructions for a G5 Xserve psu recap from his website. I wonder if he has similar info for a B&W psu?

    Web browser for Intel OS X

    I've been meaning to get this on my mbp since Friday morning lol. Great work. I love the clean, minimal theme especially the collapsible menus out of the box. It kind of reminds me (stylistically) of the ppc one world browser for that AphoticD put together years back. Pretty cool when you...

    Massive Vintage Apple Haul in Idaho

    Well I was bummed out that Kenny killed it. I remember my third or fourth date with my wife and I spied that iMac on her desk and thought “a Macintosh gal” eh. Of course I had to marry her after that lol. Anyhoo, losing the iMac as THE mac in that memory really sucked. I could replace it but...

    Massive Vintage Apple Haul in Idaho

    I've got three trayloaders. My cat killed my wifes slot loader unfortunately that was in storage on a top shelf in a bedroom closet. He got up there knocked it off being nosey AF as he was, it landed 7 or so feet on the ground and broke/cracked just about every component on it - No chime, no...

    Massive Vintage Apple Haul in Idaho

    Ahh boy, the dreaded forgot -to-check-the-ram pass over - done that a couple times myself in my rush to fix a machine. That polishing really looks fantastic. I have the exact polish so will grab some of those rotary pads this weekend. Totally going to shine up my imacs :D

    PowerMac G5 . Sorbet Installed . Knocking The Cobwebs Out . Playing Halo

    Ok, got around to doing mine. The led strip I bought came with the wrong tip (6.5mm barrel jack) so I cobbled together 12v& ground molex to a 4.5mm plug to power the strip and voila, it turned on. I split power from the optical drive. Being LED I thought the 3.3v would work but not enough juice...

    When you know your 3 y/o son was in your office

    Not at all. The speaker opening is conical in shape on the QS so the adapter rested on the interior taper of said opening, never reaching the speaker.

    Power Mac G3

    Before anything I would plug em in and see if a cuda reset will bring them back to life. My B&W on occasion has shown absolutely no life after fiddling with its bits - that behavior included non-functioning power button. It presents like a completely dead box/psu, so if you dont know, its easy...
