According to this LEM page, unless you are installing 17MB, you should be putting the larger sized SIMMs into Bank A, with the smaller sized SIMMs into Bank B. However, when I put four 16MB SIMMs into Bank A, and nothing in Bank B, I get death chimes and a crazy display. But if then put 4...

Starting with this post, I found that Snooper 2 has some interesting motherboard photos, worthy of extraction. If you follow that discussion, you will see that it concluded with the finding that we cannot extract them from the PICT resource of the Snooper app. The only reasonable method of...

@Kai Robinson kindly offered us some wonderful well-wishing last year, and with it being Christmas today here in Japan I felt compelled to do the same. Forum membership has grown considerably in 2022. I know everyone here at TinkerDifferent would like to extend a huge thank you and warm...

I posted about this over at the Apple II Enthusiasts group on FaceBook, and I also sent Henry of ReactiveMicro an email, but thus far I've not been able to determine the cause of the problem I am having, which I described in detail in the following unlisted video on YouTube... PROBLEM QUICK...

My Part II video on this topic turned out to be longer than I thought, but it's fully indexed so you can jump to the parts which interest you. Even so, it's highly edited such that all the boring stuff is left out and what remains is only the juicy meat. :-) This really is about how useful the...

Although I've been a Mac fan since 1984, I'm still new to the Apple II. But my recent purchase of an Apple IIe Card & Y-cable for my Macintosh Color Classic Mystic has been a fun learning experience. I made this video showing how to recap the card and to provide a general overview of the...

While digging up info on the LSI LOGIC chip used on the Apple IIe Card, I came across a book about LSI which provided some very interest historical info I had never read anywhere else. Amazing what could have been! One day Doug came in with a copy of EE Times. It had a photo of Steve Jobs and...

SOLVED! Solution here While working on my IIe Card video, I've run up against a number of things I cannot explain. We had a good discussion here recently, but I feel this needs its own thread with a more specific title, in the proper sub-forum (which is perhaps best suited here rather than in...

I am currently filming a new video about the Apple IIe Card in my Color Classic Mystic. As many of you know, I performed the VGA mod on this CC earlier this year, which boost the stock resolution of 512x384 to 640x480. Smaller pixels means everything is smaller, but the upside is you can run...

After watching this Recode interview with Jony Ive, Laurene P. Jobs, and Tim Cook about the influence of Steve Jobs, I must say it really does harmonize with what I have long felt about Steve. I highly recommend you give it a complete watch. I especially appreciated the discussion around the...

This post is not about listing every vendor of floppy disks out there, in 2022, especially since most of us know they can most often be found on EBAY here and Amazon(USA) here. Today, I read this recent INTERVIEW with Tom Persky, who is owner of floppydisk.com. The article inspired me to email...

I've been testing my inventory of 1MB RAM SIMMs using my Mac SE Reloaded machine, and with one particular set of SIMMs, I get a Sad Mac at cold boot showing these 2 lines: 00000004 <— "Bank A" 00004000 <— Failed bits... AABBCCDD AA = bits 31-24 BB = bits 23-16 CC = bits 15-8 DD = bits 7-0...

For you vintage iPhone lovers out there. You can now have internal organs of the original iPhone 2G beautifully splattered on your wall! If you already own a product from Grid Studios, I'd love to see a photo of yours and hear how you like it.

What app will allow me to display a graphic FULL SCREEN that works on a Mac SE or Plus (4MB of RAM & 68000 CPU)? Graphic Converter 1.7 won't work and neither will JPEGView 3. SuperPaint won't do it either. Same for Deneba Canvas 3.5. I am talking about full screen with NO MENUBAR -- just...

My friend, Kay Koba, posted a link to this insanely great video today on FaceBook, and after watching it this evening, I had to repost the link here on TD... https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/ondemand/video/3004698/?autoplay It will be available for watching until September this year. A very...

Airport Card Question. I found a card at work in the original box, in great condition. I've got it installed in my G4 Cube for now so as to test it. Card is recognized. System Profiler shows Firmware 9.52. OS is 10.4.11. PROBLEM: "Wireless network not available." Card is "turned on" as per...

Hello, friends. I am in the middle of editing Part I of my @Kai Robinson SE Reloaded video, and I am trying to find high resolution, top-down photos of the SE motherboard and chip sets that are different from mine. Here's a high resolution (20 megapixel) photo of mine, which is revision...

I've installed Duke Nukem 3D on my Color Classic Mystic: https://macintoshgarden.org/games/duke-nukem-3d-atomic-edition I want to have it auto-play on a CC while I sit beside the machine and shoot a segment for my next video. Of course, I could do a "hack" whereby I sit down and play the game...

Do any of you know how to display the Frame Rate in Doom II or Marathon or Wolfenstein 3D or Dark Forces? I'm overclocking my Color Classic Mystic and want to show before/after FPS. https://macintoshgarden.org/games/doom-ii

Work related question today. Since I am talking about "vintage" software for Macs, I felt it only reasonable to post my query on TinkerDifferent! :-) Many years ago, my employer paid a web programmer to build a mySQL database for us, such that we could put our car security related vehicle...
