I'm going, first retro computing gathering for me! Anyone have tips on how to get the most out of it?

Even though I already have a bunch of projects in various stages after seeing this YouTube video by Kevin Noki on a modernized take on the original Apple ADB mouse I felt compelled to build one! I also built his aesthetically pleasing USB to ADB converter (based on QuokkADB by Rabbit Hole...

I've seen pictures of the Philips CDF-100 where it looks like the connector used between the drive and base appears to be a DB-9 connector unlike the DB-25 of the the PowerCD so unfortunately I don't think that would work (at least physically). Found one...

So boringly pretty! why can't these be their standard offering!? Noctua: Our case fans are tan and brown because that's the color of PC's these days, right? Noctua: Our case fans are tan and brown because we think it's an ironic branding choice in the face of trendy clear plastic and RGB...

Am I the only one that wishes these amazing Noctua fans came in black….

I have a recapped LC III (with the III+ 33MHz mod) that I put a FPU on the logic board and have a PDS Ethernet card in that works just fine. The PDS Ethernet card is a Asante Macon that does have a space for a FPU but it's empty. It does seem like a bad idea to have an FPU installed on the...

Your welcome!

Not too long ago I tried a bunch of options in my Lombard. Ended up using a new Yansen 16GB 2.5-inch PATA/IDE 44-Pin SSD I bought from Amazon. The somewhat pricey Ableconn mSata to IDE adapter that I use successfully in my 3400, Pismo, iBook G4 and Mac mini G4 does work in a Lombard too. I...

I'll admit I don't have much experience with using WINE, but in this case you don't need to "get WINE to work", you just run the app in the zip download which I'm guessing includes the WINE libraries (or whatever the right term is) that make it work. These appear to be x86 intel but Rosetta runs...

... it runs on my M1 MacBook Pro. Do you have Rosetta 2 on your Apple Silicon Mac?

Jinx!

Something that was VERY expensive back in the day! 🥁 Googling the I-Cude chip numbers I found this on eBay that appears to match: https://www.ebay.com/itm/356293835775 "Avid Blue Ice Video Card V2 card" .... I would imagine there is some kind of breakout board that connected to the external...

Are you sure it doesn't work in the 190? On the back of the box:

I completely agree with everything you said! "Andy" was definitely a high point for me, loved the character and his arc. Something new with Alien universe Artificial Persons. The homages to Alien and the proto Aliens nods were great. A friend felt there was too much "fan service" but I thought...

My VEVOR 30L Ultrasonic Cleaner is approaching 4 years of sporadic use and I'm doing a water change now so I thought it might be interesting to create a thread to share my experience and hopefully hear from others too. Let's share recommendations, tips and tricks! I have a feeling this...

My Mac 512k internal and external 400k floppy drives were totally locked up. The original grease in these totally turns to glue and I was not getting anywhere with IPA. This "Dry Lube" did the trick for me: 3-IN-ONE Lock Dry Lube https://3inone.com/product/3-in-one-lock-dry-lube/ After...

Same! Excited to watch this!

I generally agree, but the PB 100 is apparently not a fixed current (A) draw device. The way I normally think about it the voltage of a power supply is what maters, the amperage is just a max that the PS can safely supply. No harm no foul to use a PS with a higher Amp rating as long it is above...

I believe the issue is more that the PowerBook could (will?) draw more current than its designed to support if you don't use the proper (limited to 2A) power supply.
