whaaaaaa It's back.

I'm down for that if other members are willing to coordinate.

wthww only shows up when they're doing technical stuff related to the site - I think he was more into the Mac stuff a long time ago but not anymore. The two mods are defor and Gorgonops. Defor was brought on as a mod for the trading post - don't know what his current responsibilities are, but he...

I don't think I'd get very far trying to coordinate with them, with how inactive they are unfortunately. At the very least, I'd make sure the scraper isn't hammering the site like the god-awful AI scrapers are.

This is amazing work! Good job to all those that contributed. I will link this page on the SE/30 page on my website :)

I'd normally not be concerned about it, except for that Cory has been MIA since... May I think? He last logged in in August, but hadn't posted since May. He's still active on social media so it's clearer than ever that he's just lost interest in the site. No clue what wthww is up to. I wish...

No modern replacements.

I have a PB180 with an essentially flawless display (if you look extremely closely after an hour and a half of running, you can see the faintest of faint darkening in the left corners, faint enough that it's impossible to see on camera). I'll see if it ghosts at all tomorrow. I'm fairly certain...

Made it to my relatives’ house in PA, all ready to wake up at 5:30 tomorrow and drive on down!!

Can now confirm that I'll be there.

I'm gonna try to be there as usual. Not confirming anything yet, but that's the goal. I've been to the last two June meets and the one in February 2022.

My two projects for the month were finally fixing my PowerBook 150's hinges, and then giving some TLC and upgrades to a PowerBook 190cs I bought off eBay. I did publish a video on the 150: I recorded a video on the 190cs, but that was just a few days ago and I didn't get it finished by the...

You could create a website that stores collection details in a MySQL database, along with a password-protected page on the site that allows you to update it straight from the live site. That's obviously more work though.

SD card adapter works great in the 3400c with one caveat - it will freeze during large file copies, but only on certain OS versions. My 3400c locks up on 8.5 but not on 7.6.1.

Wonderful find! Seconded @Garrett - get the Varta PRAM battery out of both. I'll attach a video tutorial I made to this post. Caps should be fine but it wouldn't hurt to recap it if you have the skills. It will only help it live longer. Here's cap reference...

I'd love to use that photo on the page - thanks for posting! I think I'm going to adjust the Tadiran to a 2/5 and the Sonnenscheins to a 1.5/5. I can't ID that completely destroyed battery from the photo either. Could you post a closer up photo (or photos?) - I'm just curious.

Thank you!

don't even get me started on ELNA capacitors.... Singlehandedly making an entire generation of Toshiba laptops literally go extinct. Kills the proprietary Toshiba gate arrays in the DC/DC section and then it's game over. T1000LE, T1000XE, T1000SE, T1200XE, T2000, T2000SX, T2000SXe, and more.....

I definitely agree that the Maxells leak the worst of any of the brand Apple used (I have a page here going over them all: https://macdat.net/repair/kb/batteries_macintosh.html). Maxell and Tadiran are the most common in vintage Macs, followed probably by Sonnenschein (the blue ones) and SAFT...

That's a little bit of a severe take, isn't it? Obviously it wasn't deliberate. No one looking to design a product foresees how it will hold up in 30 years. Here's the leaky Tadiran you're looking for: Image from @Volvo242GT I've personally had an IBM PC/AT bombed by a Tadiran block battery...
