Hi all, This is probably a bit of a long-shot, but I was figuring out how to use Beagle Bros.' Frame-Up, and the manual (https://archive.org/details/Beagle_Bros-Frame-Up/page/n15/mode/2up) mentions a keyboard guide that lists the shortcuts available. Unfortunately the shortcuts themselves...

Hi all, I have an iBook G3 Clamshell Tangerine that I just took apart and put back together with an SE (366MHz) logic board and an SSD. When I put it all back together, I get the boot chime just fine, but instead of seeing a Happy Mac (or, the ? Folder, since the drive is empty), I just see the...

Hi all, I've never had an Apple II before and I've become somewhat curious about getting one. I think the IIc+ looks like the ideal machine for what I'd want - it's tiny, has everything built in that I'd really need, and the lack of a 5.25" drive doesn't really matter since I don't have any...

This is a continuation of an old thread: https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/macintosh-se-wont-boot-system-7.792/ tl;dr - Booting System 7 off of my BlueSCSI didn't work. I got a RaSCSI instead, and that worked. Since then I put the BlueSCSI away and didn't think about it too much. I've...

I just installed a 512MB RAM stick from OWC into my clamshell iBook. However, in Apple System Profiler, it's only showing the stick as 64MB (plus the 64MB built-in to the logic board, so 128MB total). I'm running Mac OS 9.2.2. Normally I'd assume that I got a mislabeled part, but since I assume...

I recently got a USB Zip drive that came along with a bunch of other stuff, so I thought getting a SCSI one would be a good way to moving files between my SE/30 and modern machines. Unfortunately, it looks like SCSI Zip drives are relatively rare (at least to find working models). What's been...

I've installed Tiger onto my 12" 867MHz PowerBook G4 using the Garden image, and it seemed to install correctly. However, when I try to boot from that drive, it tries to boot for a little bit, until I'm greeted with a disappointing grey 🚫/"not" sign. I tried verbose boot, and got an error...

I put 8.1 on my SE/30, which runs fairly well! However, I haven't been able to install the drivers for my RaSCSI's Daynaport emulation. It says the folder "Network" cannot be modified by the installer, and the Garden page for the drivers only mentions it being compatible with System 6/7. I'm...

Hey all, I've been using a RaSCSI with my SE/30, which worked great until I bought a cheap SCSI cable on Amazon and tried to use it. I apparently upset the SCSI gods and goddesses and now my main boot image won't load. When I try to mount it from another boot disk, it tells me the disk is...

I bought an SE/30 logic board to upgrade my SE, thinking it would fit, and it... *almost* does! But, the PSU connector is just a little bit further down on the SE/30 board, and whatever revision of the SE I have has a chassis does not seem to like it. You can see in these pictures that the PSU...

Hi all, I'm trying to set up ethernet on my Mac SE using my RaSCSI and the instructions here: https://github.com/akuker/RASCSI/wiki/Dayna-Port-SCSI-Link However, I'm having trouble getting the DaynaPort Drivers to work. When I try to unpack the linked .sit file, Stuffit quits immediately...

Hi all, I'm trying to boot System 7 from my Macintosh SE (800k). However, each time I try to, either from a system folder on the internal drive or off a premade image on my BlueSCSI, some sort of error appears. I've attached an assortment of the errors I've seen. I've tried System 7, 7.1, and...

Hi all, I've got a 2010 MacBook Pro that works mostly well, except the display has a bad backlight. When I first got it a few years ago it would work on and off, but now it doesn't seem to work at all. The screen itself displays a picture just fine, which you can see if you hold a flashlight up...

Hi all, I got two Japanese Apple Keyboard IIs from Buyee. They were sold as "junk" because they couldn't test them, but fortunately my bet paid off and they're both working! There are just a couple of things I wanted to ask about: One of the keyboards has a few numpad keys that aren't working -...

I've seen a lot of cool 3D printed items on here, but I don't own a 3D printer. Is there an affordable & reliable place to order one-of printed items? Or is it better to just buy a low-end printer myself? Ideally I'd like to avoid buying one since it'd just take up space most of the time. Thanks...

I just got a Mac SE which works perfectly!... Which means it's now time to mess with it 😁 The built-in fan is loud (as is typical) and it seems easy enough to replace. My understanding is that a standard 12V 60mm fan like the Noctua NF-A6x25 FLX is a good replacement. I opened my SE up and...

Hi all, I'm buying a Macintosh SE, and I'd like to try getting it connected to the internet. There's a lot of guides out there for how to do that, however I'm a little unclear on the best way to actually get it phyiscally hooked up. It sounds like PDS cards with ethernet exist, but since...

Hi all, I'm going to pick up this Macintosh Plus locally for $40: https://madison.craigslist.org/sys/d/beaver-dam-macintosh-plus-1mb/7420814827.html I asked for some pictures of the battery compartment because I've heard those can leak and have issues, but it looks like there's just general...
