    Transfer files from PowerBook G3 Pismo to PowerBook 190cs

    Thanks, I just edited that boo-boo, should have read Compact Flash, not SD. It's been so long I feel like a n00b as well here. IIRC you'll only need to initialize the CF Card in the 190. No low level formatting required? When it comes to volume size/OS limits I think I'll never get things...

    Internal handle implemented. Bucket stays on the shelf. Simple cutout at top, back side of half depth bucket would suffice, no need to clutter a 3.5" deep top surface.

    Beautiful! Wondering how long it will take you to have a sheet of plexi laid out like that for a clear bucket? We don' need no steenking handles! Not in a short stroked bucket with a beautiful wood chassis anyway. ;)

    Dedicated tinkering space (soldering and other)

    Can she or anyone here think of any hobby that's not ridiculous on the face of it to anyone who has no particular affinity for it.? I rest my case. I'm right there with you. I have project boxen of every sort and size. They come out whenever the fancy strikes and go back whenever I begin to...

    Tony Stark???? Oh, the shop with the redhead? :)

    Dedicated tinkering space (soldering and other)

    Anyone with combination wrenches displayed in order by size on pegboard makes me scratch my head. That's what a triple-decker is for, organization as such in drawers. At the very least, keep that stuff in the likes of the red Craftsman four drawer chest I keep at hand.

    Dedicated tinkering space (soldering and other)

    Don't bother, it's obviously not that kind of shop. It looks a damn sight more practical for auto and around the house kinda stuff to me. Seems to have three walls to work with and no particular interest in trinketry. I have to laugh at the majority of shop tips-n-tricks I've seen over the...

    70's Show? Got a link to his garage? Name's too generic, first and last, to be able to find anything easily. Page break discontinuity correction: Red Foreman's Garage?

    Dedicated tinkering space (soldering and other)

    Thanks, for me the knee room and KBD drawer would be as important as the additional worktop area. It doubles the surface area of the extension and slides out of the way for intense work on benchtop with handy access when needed. Interesting, I've used corners for daily driver workstations since...

    found this ADB switch...is it safe to use

    Ah! Interesting, though implementing only a single ADB port goes all the way back to the x100 NuBus PowerMac generation. So not a sendoff message in the B&W. ;)

    found this ADB switch...is it safe to use

    That wouldn't be a use case, dongles are almost invariably pass thru. Can't think for a single reason why a three-way ADB switch for peripherals wouldn't work for using in reverse. Don't think it's theoretically possible to implement ADB so that it's not bi-directional or device independent...

    Dedicated tinkering space (soldering and other)

    Looks great! I like that clean looking workbench, much nicer than the Craftsman designs in terms of matching storage shelf systems. Their garage workshop oriented integrated systems wouldn't fit into your light duty, indoor setup needs. Suggestions: __ attach a sacrificial worktop. Have it...

    found this ADB switch...is it safe to use

    Sounds like a plan to me! The only other use case I can think of offhand might be for sharing the likes of an ADB hand scanner between three different users. A dedicated, central location for that would make sense with three workstations lined up in a DTP shop.

    A takky Mac…..

    Nah, 4K obviously won't work as it's a 2x2 1080p aggregate, no? 2560x1600 IPS would put one hella' slide show on the Apple Display Unit inside the bezel of my precious BabyPB. LisaPquarium home for my plastic fish would be a more likely end game for my left intact Little Bit of Lisa. I've been...

    Help needed identifying a card

    What strikes me most about that card is the MacUser sticker. Is that a property tag? More likely a mail order house part number. Does the IIfx boot up or does any other NuBus Mac you might have for testing it? Running TattleTech to get the card's ID from the Declaration ROM (DeclROM) would be...

    found this ADB switch...is it safe to use

    Badly misaligned, manual plugging when the system is hot would be what kills ADB Controllers. ;) ADB switching via rotary switch equipped manual KVM is just fine for switching ADB while hot. Though you do need to have ADBreset on the desktop at the ready to run it from the KBD. Mice tend to...

    A takky Mac…..

    Lisa needs 3:4 aspect ratio panel. Won't work for anything over 1200x1600 unless letterboxed. 640x400 PowerBook is perfect for the Duo 2300c Panel in 16bit , letterboxed mode in the PB100 lid. That's what's in there now. I may revisit the Duo upgrade. AssFlap on the PB100 is spot on for a...

    TinkerTales from the crypt . . .

    Been a while, but I was moving storage boxen out from above where the new carpet needs to go. PowerBook 190c/Trackball Edition. 18-20 years in progress. In the new world of filament printing, fitment and button making may bring it to the fore. Only regret is that this cannot be done in my...

    A takky Mac…..

    Which set? It's all variable upon how deep I angle the marking instrument into the well. I can take w width/height spec, mark those on the bezel and stripe around from there anywhere between the point on the curves and the surface. I'm tempted to have my way with that little bit of Lisa. But so...
