    Old Net WiFi modem and ZTerm - not responding

    Hi everybody, using a Mac IIci with a new Old Net WiFi modem, latest firmware (well, it claims to have shipped with it) and ZTerm 1.0.1 on System 6.0.8. I managed to once set it up according to the docs it came with and connect to the eotd BBS it mentions. I've then changed both modem and ZTerm...

    Pismo - PRAM battery sources or rebuild info?

    Hey all, my Pismo's PRAM battery (part no. 616-0108) is a goner. Just opened up the Pismo and yanked it out. The only sources for replacement I've found online are sold out - does anyone know of a reliable one with some batteries left in stock? If not, how difficult is it to build this beast...

    Tiger OSX - OS9 not recognized as startup volume

    Hi folks, I have a Mac Mini G4 that dual-boots OSX Tiger ("Shuriken") and Mac OS 9.2.2, each on their own partition. The OSX Startup Volume control panel doesn't recognize the OS9 installation as bootable, giving me only the OSX partition as an option. It *does* recognize the OS9 partition in...

    Mac Mod Paradise is about to die - who can save it?

    I started out the Mac Mod Paradise (http://mac.mod-paradise.com) together with a friend about 10 months ago. The idea was that Macintosh hardware modding gets good coverage (TD being the king, of course :) ) but we felt there was very little about software modding. In particular, game modding...

    Solved: RaSCSI and CD-ROM images from the web - how to make it work?

    Well, the title sums it up pretty much I guess. I've been downloading CD-ROM images from the Mac Garden, transferred them to the RaSCSI and mounted them via the RaSCSI web interface. They do, however, not show up on the Desktop of my System 7 Mac. CD-ROM Software is installed. SCSI ID scans do...

    RaSCSI not mounting iso images on IIci

    Hey everyone, could need a good advice on my attempt to mount iso images via RaSCSI on my IIci running 7.1. Here's what I got: - I've copied the iso images to the Pi via the RaSCSI Web Control Panel. - They show up fine in the RaSCSI Web Control Panel and I can mount them there. - On the IIci...

    Hey there, any chance you could add a lightweight theme to the forums for those of us who still cling onto their old PowerPC Macs? Thanks for considering!

    Good TFT for a 512K case ?

    First things first - no little 512K Macs were harmed! ;-) I inherited a 512K Mac with nothing except the CRT inside. The CRT since went to a collector as spare part and I'm left with the case. I thought about what to do with it. Feels it'd be wrong to put something trivial like a Raspberry Pi...

    Recapping a PowerMac 8600 PSU

    There are PSUs that are relatively easy to recap. There's some that are tough. And then there's the PSU from my 8600. Oh my god. All the caps appear to be glued in. That's not even the worst. The copper of the board is. It's so thick on both sides that it's impossible to de-solder any parts...

    Any SCSI to Ethernet solutions on the horizon?

    Hey all, I know there's solutions from Dayna & others from 30 years ago, but I wonder if there's any contemporary SCSI to Ethernet solution available or in the planning? Or does anyone know what happened to Ronan Gaillard and his SCSI2Ethernet board? Any plans to make them available "for the...
