    BlueSCSI in Quadra annihilating system folder, Daynaport

    I've had a similar issue with BlueSCSI on my Quadra 700. If I copy lots of files into disk while booted into System 7 it'll eventually completely trash the entire SD card. The same thing happens if I do an os install too.

    FWIW the source code for 1.25 & 2.0 has been up on Github for probably about 6 or so years now. It was 4.0 that just got uploaded to the repository yesterday.

    Disk Jockey Jr 2.0.0, now on Linux!

    No idea sorry. Its how the drive came from whoever I bought it from. Looking at the contents of the drive and the version of the OS the drive appears as-is from whenever if it was first built years ago.

    Apple Keyboard M0116 - Complete Teardown Details

    I don't have a guide nor have to pulled this specific keyboard apart before but I have built and worked on similarly constructed keyboards before. I'd say that firstly the switches will need to be desoldered. Usually either with (in order of preference) a desoldering gun, solder sucker, or...

    Using the Sun to restore a yellow Macintosh ☀️

    I didn't use any IPA on my front plate except for aiding in removing the badge adhesive. Also a little bit of Windex to remove some grime, but otherwise it was just as I received it.

    Using the Sun to restore a yellow Macintosh ☀️

    There was a bit of reflected light in the after photo but there is a slight outline from the badge. If I casually glance at the case I can barely notice it. Given that there's been no chemicals involved in this process I'm more than happy with how it is. I did move it around a bit but...
