Nothing better for a cold Sunday… recapping an old Mac and cooking a Paella

Hey. I want to make some 4MB 30 pin SIMMs for fun and the only source I could find for the appropriate memory chips are from 16MB or 32MB SIMMs. I plan to remove the chips using my cheap hot air gun, but I never did such thing. What is the right technique? (Temperature, time to apply heat...

Hi, trying to learn more about my "new" 145B I found a guy on eBay selling this floppy that contains a tool named "PowerBook 145B Restore". I couldn't find other references to this (I checked in the "Restoration CD SSW Disk 1" but I don't find such this thing). Does anyone what is it and where...

I got for cheap a 145B today. Cosmetically is in good condition. Hinges are a bit stiff but not broken, and it has the rear lid. The power adaptor is missing, but I could find a temporary solution. I get boot chime and apparently right HD noise. Logic board seems OK, but I get no image. What...

I'm trying my luck again with a second color ribbon, as the first one was bad on the inside (the rubber gears inside crumbled into dust). Last time I couldn't figure out how to print in color. Can anyone give a hint?

Unclear if here is the right place... I need to mount some CD images in the RASCSI and I think only ISO images would work, but what I can download at the Garden are CUE/BIN or DMG images. How can I convert these formats to ISO using a modern Mac? (Ideally without having to purchase Toast or...

Hello, Does it exist a model to print a bracket to mount internally a RASCSI with a Pi Zero on the top? Txs!

I completed my ugly custom made hat to be used with a Raspberry emulating a Roland MT32 using MT32-PI I connect it to my LC475 using an Opcode MIDI Translator II that I got for cheap on eBay. Sounds pretty well and I even managed to configure some games to use it...

Hello, testing an Ethernet Card that works on my IIsi and not in my IIci, it seems that I could have a problem with the NuBus slots. I found this: The Cap next to this IC did leak and it was replaced, but I didn't see until now evident damages in this chip. Did you have similar experiences?

Hello, I got one of these cards for my IIci and it's not being detected by the system. Do you know if this card should work without any add-on. I tried to look for drivers or extensions but so far I found nothing. By default I can see "Apple Ethernet NB" in the Extensions folder, but so far in...

Hi, I don't know how many other people from Switzerland we have, but as we aren't in the "European Union", maybe it could be added... BTW, "European Union & Republic of Ireland" is pretty incorrect, as this would be like saying "USA & Florida"... Maybe you could consider as an option "Europe"...

Hi, I'm trying to resume some old projects that I had like 30 years ago (Gosh...) about 2D and 3D graphics, and I'm starting with some fractal graphics. The idea is to make an app that can visualise different types of fractals, mostly to play with QuickDraw and get used to it (again, as I mostly...

Where: Switzerland, but I'm from Spain First Computer: Canon V-20 (MSX) First Apple: LCII, back in 1993 Favorite Mac: Plus It's been already some years since I'm terribly bored with modern computers, and the only thing that makes me smile is to tinker with old stuff, mostly 68K Macs, but I...

Hello. Is that section intended for anyone to introduce himself? I just see the top guys there… is people shy or is that this is just to introduce the “management team”? Pedro
