Summer is over and I'm back to tinkering. I finally achieved a local reputation as "the guy who will give you money for the old old beige junk you find in your house" and an SE FDHD walked into my kitchen a few weeks ago. To my delight it contains a PDS expansion AST Mac86 DOS Compatibility...

Subject: iMac (24-inch Early 2008) OSX 10.11.6 (El Capitan) Current State: Alternating White and Black screens of death. Crashes and reboots on: Normal Boot, Recovery Mode, Diagnostics, Boot to Installer. History: Employer's old personal computer. I need a "middling" generation Intel Mac...

This article will detail the steps for building an external power supply for an early model Atari 520ST. There are ways to improve this build with better connectors, and I plan to design and print a 3D printed case for the final product in a future revision. Cases for Amiga power supplies that...

Good evening! I’m trying to track down a couple of faults on an Apple IIc and I think I’ve hit the limit of what I know how to do. I try not to ask for help until I hit the point where I either don’t get useful Google results, or I don’t know how to construct my query to get results. Thankfully...

I asked on Discord but this might be better as a thread for posterity in case someone else has the same questions. I have an SE/30 and a Classic II (the 4MB onboard version). I'd like to upgrade the memory in the SE/30 and replace the memory in the Classic II as I believe it may be faulty...

Hi I'm Don. I went and posted my first "Arrgh help!" thread today and realized that I never bothered to introduce myself! I live in the US, New Jersey to be specific. The southern part - think Philadelphia, not New York (no one except the tax man knows that we're down here, it's great). I'm...

Good afternoon! I purchased a Classic II a few weeks ago. I really enjoy the activity of restoring and future proofing old electronics. I've successfully restored and/or recapped an Amiga 600, a number of Atari and Commodore 8-bit micros, and a slew of video game consoles and handhelds...
