    Apple PowerCD Base Station / Dock Teardown

    I love these things. Such a cool "futuristic" device back when it was released. The docks have a tendency to fail, so I hope you are successful in repairing it!!

    New keyboard, old Mac

    I find that the newer style silver & white Apple USB keyboard looks great with the old silver and white G5 iMac. Found a used one at a thrift shop, but a lot of the media keys and other functions don't work. Wondering if anyone has had success getting the special function, volume, and media keys...

    Installing Mac OS X Leopard on the Apple TV (1st generation)

    I've been wondering if the original AppleTV box would make a good MAME machine. Seems like all the parts are there, including OS X and video output. Is there bluetooth support on the first gen version?

    Fun with TAM's. (upgrading Twentieth anniversary Macs with IDE SSD adapters, Sonnet CPU upgrades, BlueSCSI, and lots of love

    How's the Orange Micro card working out with the G3 accelerator installed? I know that installing the Sonnet USB/FW card will cause lockups with their G3 card unless you apply a manual EFI patch. I'm wondering if the Orange Micro works any better? I've currently got an ATA to CF card adapter in...

    Fun with TAM's. (upgrading Twentieth anniversary Macs with IDE SSD adapters, Sonnet CPU upgrades, BlueSCSI, and lots of love

    Cleaning the power contacts inside the sub supposedly fixes the buzz for a while, but then it comes back. I dunno that replacing the caps would fix it considering this problem happened when the TAM was brand new (unless you're replacing a cap with a different value?).

    Power supply interchangeability between different 68K Macintosh models?

    I'm interested in this as well. I've got a Quadra 950 I'm trying to rebuild and I'd love to be able to just drop in a cheap power supply from another Quadra or use one of the ATX conversion kits. I'm not planning on tricking it out with a bunch of drives -- just a single bluescsi or something...

    Another 12-inch PowerBook G4

    I adored my PB G4 back in the day. A very well designed machine.

    Looking for force quit software for OS 9 and earlier

    I did manage to find something that appears to work when an app bombs in the emulator. It's called "bomb shelter" and it's by Ambrosia Software. It patches the normal bomb dialog and adds a continue button. It doesn't work for stuff that's caught in an endless loop/watch cursor, and doesn't add...

    Recovery Mode background?

    Try mounting the Recovery partition (since that's where you saw it) and look in the same places suggested, but on that partition. https://superuser.com/questions/354827/how-do-manually-mount-hard-drive-on-mac I'm not sure which OS you're using, but if it's an oldie, you can also try this...

    Try looking for /System/Library/CoreServices/DefaultDesktop Or use a utility like EasyFind to search for file name "linen"

    TwiSlot PCI Riser and ComSlot2 NIC repro in widened CS riser form factor

    Couple of things -- I wasn't sure from the other thread if you were planning to use an external power supply for one of the cards. I'd be worried about pushing the TAM power supply (located in the subwoofer module) too far by installing so many cards, since it wasn't designed for this much power...

    [SOLVED] Automating sound output selection?

    Solved this by copying over the "sound scripting" addition from a 9.1 install. Although OS 9.1 isn't supported on sheepshaver, the scripting addition seems to work fine under OS 9.0.4. tell application "Sound Scripting" set sound output device to "Built-in" end tell Save script as app, place...

    [SOLVED] Automating sound output selection?

    Looking for a way to automate sound output selection. For some reason one of my SheepShaver instances is defaulting to selection = none, every time I restart it. Hoping smeone knows of a scripting addition or something similar where I can set it to output = built-in on startup. Thanks in advance!

    Looking for force quit software for OS 9 and earlier

    Looking for any inits, control panels, or whatnot that allows you to force quit a misbehaving app through a keypress other than command-option-esc on OS 9 and earlier. Anyone know of such a thing? Trying to find a nicer way to get out of misbehaving apps in SheepShaver without having to restart...

    My Macintosh LC Has Normal Volume Error Chimes, All Other Sounds Are Quiet

    I'm guessing it does this no matter which disk you boot up from?
