    PCjr picture going a bit funny

    The video output on my PCjr looks like it's losing horizontal sync whenever I reboot after it's been running for a while. When it happens, I usually have to leave it turned off for at least 20 minutes. It's been doing this since I got it in 2021. I have recapped the motherboard (and maybe the...

    Trouble with Quadra 650 VRAM amount

    My Quadra 650, which was severely battery bombed but amazingly still functions after quite a bit of cleaning, has two 512 KB VRAM SIMMs from Garrett's Workshop installed, but the OS isn't offering me thousands of colors at 832x624; it only offers me 256 colors. This points to a problem with...

    3D-printable replacement bezel for the AppleCD 600E

    I've posted this over on GitHub at https://github.com/jimfrob/AppleCD-600E-Bezel/tree/main. It includes the FreeCAD file for anyone who wants to make tweaks.

    NuBus mount for BlueSCSI v2

    I searched a while I didn't find any existing model or project to mount a BlueSCSI v2 into a NuBus slot, so I knocked one together. This is a rather niche thing that may or may not be useful to anyone. In fact, I myself will probably not use it since I'm pretty happy with the SCSI2SD in my...

    iMac G3 Summer 2001 500 MHz video issue

    My iMac has a strange issue where the image will randomly shift its horizontal position. Google AI has suggested this problem is likely due to capacitors on the analog board and/or the downconverter board. Unfortunately, I've been unable to find a definitive list of caps I'd need, and I'd rather...

    Question about a Color Pivot adapter for the SE/30

    An SE/30 I recently acquired on eBay had a Pivot expansion card loose in the chassis. I connected it to the logic board and found it perfectly functional, though it's seriously lacking in capability because it has only 256 KB of RAM on the card if I'm adding correctly (two chips of 256 kbit x4)...

    Stealth IIGS Problem

    I've gotten my dad's //e and moved it into a MacEffects clear case. I also got from MacEffects the IIGS conversion kit so that I can put it in the old //e case. I have soldered in the power & keyboard sockets, but when I connect the //e keyboard, it fails to boot from the ReActiveMicro...

    Quadra 650 drive chassis

    One of the many items I got from Computer Reset was a gutted (and battery bombed) Quadra 650. All that was left was the case and the logic board. I'm hoping to get it going one day, but the lack of a drive chassis makes to potential installation of a floppy drive challenging. Does anyone know of...
