    Apple /// Chasis color

    I suspect it is the same as the Apple II which was PMS 453. They have all yellowed a lot since then so it's hard to know with any level of certainty.

    iMac G4 to M1 Advice?

    Do you know if those control boards do additional I/O for optical drive, HDD, speakers, fans, etc? That was something I struggled with when looking for a solution all the Aliexpress ones didn't have the same features, though they were certainly cheaper.

    iMac G4 to M1 Advice?

    Yeah their stuff is a bit of a premium. I think part of that is the cost to develop all the specialized I/O to control extra stuff as if it were a native machine. The 27" iMac version is cool because so many had GPU issues so at least its a way to save the rest of the machine from recycling...

    iMac G4 to M1 Advice?

    I believe Juicy Crumb is nearly complete with an entire kit that's plug and play, assuming you wanted to wait a few months. Otherwise, I'm not sure of an easier version.

    VCFMW 2024 - September 7-8

    I should have about 3-4ft extra at the MacEffects tables, so if you and Maccy would like to have a place to stay you are welcome to it. Last year there were so many people asking about the Macintosh Librarian and they all seemed quite disappointed you weren't there!

    TinkerDifferent Game Server - Now testing!

    I played Vanilla in 2005 on an iMac G3 700mhz w/ 16mb video memory. Massive lag in Stormwind and other populated areas. At the time it was just about the coolest thing ever. Classic is also pretty cool if no one has played it yet.

    iMac G3 Slot Load Optical Drive

    I am looking to design a rebuild kit of rubber rollers and belts to be newly manufactured. It would be really helpful if someone knows the pin out of these drives and if I can give the drive power only and make a switch to trigger eject for testing the new parts. If anyone has details, it...

    Global Newton Users Meetup #15

    Thanks for sharing, I'd like to join! I've wanted to do some large projects for the Newton, unfortunately demand always lacked for my grand ideas. Been tinkering again lately though and love to connect with the community.
