I occasionally search Youtube for specific hardware or software and see if anyone has done a video about them, and even after all of these years, the answer is still No. At times, someone will make a video about something I never could have imagined. Do you have a piece of hardware that hasn't...

Everyone names their computers, I'm sure everyone also has a lot of computers. They're like pets in a way, sometimes their name is just what's on the faceplate, sometimes it's named after a characteristic of the machine that was seen later. So, what are some of the names of your favorite or...

I'm trying to think of a way to increase the cooling power inside a G4 iMac. It's cramped inside, the CPU and GPU are in strange places, and they run incredibly hot even with their strange method of cooling by sinking heat into its metal dome chassis. The processor is on the top of the logic...

The Idea is simple enough, I have a board with an on-board 486SX-25 and I want to make it a DX2-66. It has an older blue Overdrive Ready socket as well, I tried dropping a DX2 cpu in the socket and the system won't boot. I read that the on board cpu may need to be disabled, which there is no...

Posted elsewhere, but here too. I've recently been messing with an 8088 NEC V20 computer with an EMS Board, installing versions of Windows 3.0 and 3.1 Betas that still run in Real mode so they work on an 8088. I thought I installed a beta of 3.1 in Dosbox, but when I booted it on the 8088 it...

Going off of the simple logic that people steal the logic boards out of the LC 500 series and put them into their Color Classics, it stands to reason, that the Takky Upgrade for the color classics would also work for an LC 500! Unfortunately, I can't really find much information on anyone trying...

I'm not sure where to post this, I'll start here and it can be shoved off elsewhere if needed. I have a Quadra 605 with an internal BLueSCSI v2. Every time I try to install the DaynaPORT software, it'll get 60% through the install then error out. The error says that the changed will be...

I've had a G4 Mac mini with a bad firewire for a while. I want to try a few things, but I figured someone might know a bit about it ahead of me trying anything. I understand that this is not an uncommon problem with these, but I'm unsure what causes it. Anyone have any insight? I'm not beyond...

I go some stuff! Let's see it! First off is this crazy joystick. I didn't know that there was such a complex joystick made for the Mac, using the ADB port. The only joysticks I had seen on eBay or thrifting had been little 4-button sticks. This thing rocks! Best part about it, my OrangePC card...

I'm always interested in things that people manage to get the 8088 processor to do. Things that were thought impossible, and then you see that it's possible and it makes you question what these old things are really capable of. "New-old" software its fascinating. I'm sure a lot of people know...
