Hello, I have a Rodime enclosure. The original HD died time ago, so I use now a more "modern" SCSI drive. All works fine. I'd like to use a BlueSCSI, but the power supply doesn't turn on with it, maybe because the load is too low for the switching to work, or maybe because the switching needs...

@Javmast3r showed me this... Impressive!

Hello, I could maybe get one of these cards and I wonder if anyone has experience with it. In particular... Did anyone use successfully a VGA adaptor to connect it to a modern display? Txs!

I must say I didn't use this at the time, and I discovered Hotline just recently. I installed the client and connected to some servers... no other users online. I al tried to setup a Linux server, but so far the two I found I wasn't able to compile (seem to be a quite old code). Is there any...

Fitted the OLED and a shutdown button. I had the idea of trying to develop a user interface, with just one button, to do basic things as mount images and shutdown... But I'm too lazy and this will take some time... Maybe this can give some ideas to @PotatoFi ;)

Hello, a quick question, maybe for @landogriffin. The external LED needs a resistor or it already has one in the board?

Pretty neat!

So that's my question... Wondering if my SE/30 with the ROMinator II could run Mac OS 8.1...

Hi, I got a ROMinator from a friend that is not working on my SE/30 due to bad contact. A friend printed for me the clips designed by PotatoFi, bu it's not enough. I can only make it work if I stick some duct tape to add tension, but this is not a reliable solution. Do you think I could apply a...

Hi, this section is a bit empty, so I will show off my new Mac mini G4 1.5Ghz that I got for cheap, mostly with the objective of having something small to run Mac OS 9. I used the Mac OS 9 Lives! setup for unsupported Macs. It works like a charm, with the only issue of not having internal...

Hello, I'm just starting this project, so I thought I'd just put here the progress, in case is of any interest, and maybe I can get some assistance during the journey. I'm doing this with the open source version of the board, which is not the most accurate, but it's technically correct. For the...

Hi, I'm starting the project to build an Apple 1. I already have (hopefully) all the components board and power supply components. I didn't see any post about Apple 1 here. Is there anyone around having built a clone willing to share experiences? In particular I'm right now seeing options for...

I made myself today some 4MB 30-pin SIMMs, ending up in something quite tidy and nice, but totally useless because I made a mistake ordering the PCBs and were too thick. What is the usual thickness?

Hello, Coming after this post, I wonder if we could have in “Resources” a section to post documents and books of general interest (service manuals, user guides…).

Hi, maybe this is well know, but I found by chance this guide for "Service Technical Procedures" and I found it interesting. It has pinouts and switch config for a lot of stuff...

I just got a ZIP 100 drive and I’m checking the unit before definitely keeping it but I don’t have any Mac to connect it now. If I power the drive and I insert the disk it will not eject it. Is this normal? Should it eject the disk when the SCSI cable is not connected? Thanks!

Just watched this video It’s about this project for a new MSX2 build. Seems quite interesting… I’d like to check what could this be in terms os cost

Hello, yesterday I was using the printer and suddenly it made a weird noise and all died. It's a first generation ImageWriter II (the one without the "ImageWriter II" serigraphy and that weights a ton). No LEDs are lighting at all and when I push the power button I can hear a faint "thump"...

I did some research and I think this is not possible, but maybe I’m wrong… I have the white one, 12”

I could get (quite cheap) one of these devices: Asanté Microprint, which is supposed to be made to connect a LocalTalk printer to Ethernet, but I heard that it could allow also to connect a Mac. It worked at first try. I could connect to shared disks of other Macs connected with Ethernet...
