Which is the "right way" to do 640x480 on a Color Classic has been debated for literally decades :ROFLMAO:

Slide-in Mac motherboards can handle output at different resolutions, including the Color Classic. They rely on "sense lines" from the analog board to determine what resolution to output. It's likely that you just need to get these sorted; the VGA mod for the Color Classic explains a bit more on...

Interesting how the Astec is designed so differently from the Sony PSUs in these...recapping a Sony one is comparatively pretty easy.

That's @Action Retro -- and that's the most legit reason to need to part with one's collection, good on him.

Hopefully billable hours at least?

Juniper EX2300-C-12P would be a good choice if you want an enterprise-quality switch in a compact, fanless footprint -- but it's best managed via CLI, so you'd have an opportunity to learn JunOS. If you want just a "dumb" unmanaged switch, I'd recommend keeping an eye on ServeTheHome's...

Stay tuned.

This is a typical symptom of a dead PRAM battery; the "jump start" trick (turn on, off then immediately back on again) was a common one back then.

I'd recommend formatting the SD card as ExFAT, which is the preferred option as it lets you work with larger disk images (per spec, FAT32 supports files no larger than 4GB). Also, if you haven't already, it would be a good idea to download the Apple Legacy Recovery CD image from the Macintosh...

Ha -- between my 550c and PPC-upgraded 540c I think I'm pretty satisfied with my Blackbird selection!

I had my SE/30 out for filming so I was able to run the same MacBench 3 disk test. I have a BlueSCSI version 2, without WiFi, running the latest firmware. The system has 8MB of RAM and is running System 7.1 using the Apple HD SC Setup 7.3.5 driver. I've attached the export from MacBench 3 if you...

The adapter that let you use the combo modem/Ethernet port for both connections at the same time was super clever. Such an innovative machine!

Yep, in the classic Mac OS, trying to force-quit an application was generally seen as a last-ditch effort. If you were lucky, the force quit would work and you could save your work in any other open applications before rebooting. More often, though, it wouldn't work and you had to hard-reboot...

I used a Palm IIIxe Special Edition for a couple of years in college, until I dropped it and cracked the screen. Mostly it was for taking notes in class (using one of those fold-up keyboards) and/or playing games. I picked up a Handspring Visor to replace it, though I never got any of the...

How far away is a South San Francisco library branch from you? https://www.ssf.net/departments/library/services/technology-learning-center/3d-printer

The LC 580/630 and onwards have deeper logic boards than the 520/550/575/CC, so you would indeed need to embark on major modifications to get one to fit. Having done a Takky mod 25 years ago, I can tell you that it's rather fiddly and time-consuming. The 580/630 didn't perform any better than...

One of the major county library systems in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis-St. Paul) offers it: https://www.rclreads.org/3d-printing As does the St. Paul Public Library system: https://sppl.org/innovation-lab-equipment Along with another Twin Cities county library system...

Check with your local library, a lot of them have 3D printers now and the librarians can help you use it!

The hard drive interface in those machines is IDE, so you can't directly install a BlueSCSI in its place. The CD-ROM drive, however, does still use SCSI, so with some creative wiring you could add a BlueSCSI to the chain (or install it in place of the CD-ROM, if you don't want to keep it).
