    IC puller for socketed chips

    Did it require something special, or just a standard PLCC puller?

    Macintosh Server G3

    I'm assuming this is the last gasp of the Workgroup Server line.

    Green Tint on VGA CRT Monitor Connected to Macintosh IIx

    Interesting unit. I guess it would come down to what it does with the colour lines. The BNC connectors have a separate sync; perhaps you could connect the Mac that way.

    Green Tint on VGA CRT Monitor Connected to Macintosh IIx

    I'm not sure, but my suspicion is no, based on this paragraph (bold at the end mine): This seems like the situation you are experiencing, and that last sentence implies that this adapter does not do the kind of sync filtering that the #7053 box does. Steve makes good stuff and this device...

    Green Tint on VGA CRT Monitor Connected to Macintosh IIx

    The one I use is a Software Integrators #7053. They still sell these, but they are not cheap, about $140 ( https://si87.com/Shops/3738123e-8b74-40b2-bd96-ddff0f19d352/Products/7053 ). They require an active 6V power supply which is included, and work for most systems and monitors. You plug the...

    Green Tint on VGA CRT Monitor Connected to Macintosh IIx

    This sounds like a sync-on-green signal which your monitor doesn't know how to filter. There are circuits that will remove this. Myself I use an active sync-on-green converter that turns it into more typical composite sync, though these are not cheap. Alternatively, you could try fiddling with...

    6100 Schematic?

    I don't think there was ever a PowerPC-native Snooper, so I wouldn't trust it.

    Do Audio CDs work with any USB CDROM Drive in Classic MacOS?

    I think this boils down to Mac OS 9 simply seeing the USB drive as regular mass storage. To the best of my knowledge audio was only supported for internal drives (and SCSI external drives for historical reasons). I suspect you'll get the same issue with a FireWire CD-ROM or anything emulating...

    First official C64 in 36 years

    Ah, well, didn't do much demoscene stuff. I imagine current demos are better about that.

    First official C64 in 36 years

    I'm going to beg to differ with the compatibility issue - never had a problem with something that would run on a 1541 but wouldn't on the 1571 (or, for that matter, on the 128DCR), even including copy-protected titles. This one runs V-MAX! and Rapidlok games without a problem and those schemes...

    [2GS] Using SCSI drives

    The big Applied Ingenuity drive in my IIgs is also on slot 6.

    First official C64 in 36 years

    Interesting you were using a 1571 with the 64. I think the 1571 is superior in every way to the 1541, particularly in terms of reliability, but sadly no burst mode without a 128.

    Apple IIGS repair - boots to error code

    Actually, error 06xxxxxx can be one of two things: it can be indeed the serial I/O, but it can also be the clock. You would not be able to distinguish the two with this screen alone. Are you able to boot the system after this message? The SCC and keyboard GLU are on the other side of the board...

    BeOS Install

    I've got a partial solution to the HTTPS problem here, but it's dreadfully slow on my BeBox. (It might be better on a faster Mac.) https://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2022/10/going-where-beos-netpositive-hasnt-gone.html I still need to finish that Gopher client for BeOS.

    DVD Burning in OS 9

    I don't recall which version of Toast, but DVD burning works fine with Mac OS 9. Early versions of iDVD even ran on OS 9.

    The Macintosh Application Environment on a PA-RISC laptop

    Good to see it works. My issue wasn't running the AppleTalk drivers on real hardware: it was running it on the wrong version of the operating system. This PA-RISC laptop runs HP-UX 11.00, not the 10.x or 9.x that MAE is expecting. Since these are kernel modules, I didn't want to make the machine...

    Wasn't it h# ffc00000 h# 00400000 dump ? Or are the h#'s unnecessary?

    Assemble a TransWarp GS CPU cable?

    Here is how it looks in my IIgs. Does this help you at all?
