Hello, I have this cache card and I see it was installed with a plastic clip on the top, which I guess avoids it to move too much. Is there a printable model for that thing? Thanks!

Hello I’d like to send messages (short commands) between two applications. It may be TCP/IP or AppleTalk, whatever is easier, but it should be C or C++. I don’t really know where to start… any hint? txs!

After lots of trying and finally having to ask for help, the Canon V20 that I used to learn BASIC and play so many games when I was 15 is back to life!

Hey, I got a Daystar PowerCache 50 that I was initially thinking to add to a IIci, but now I'm thinking that maybe the SE/30 could be a nicer host. Does anyone has experience with this? Where could I find the adapter board? Is it compatible with the Rominator II? Thanks!

Hello, my ZIP 100 drive almost never ejects the disc. If I help pulling the disk slightly while ejecting, it will eject it... it's like it doesn't have strength to do it itself. Is this a common problem?

Hey, It’s already the second color ribbon I buy and this one also has the problem of the crumbling rubber gears. is there any way to repair this? Txs!

Hey there, I watched this video from Classic Mac Gaming and I think this could spark some new project. I'm basically aiming to develop something that can: - Be developed with CodeWarrior, because I'm into that now - 68K - Work at least in System 7, but ideally also in System 6 - Probably only...

Hey, I need to disassemble one of these trackballs and I think I need to remove the label to access some extra screws, but touching it is not clear. Is it required to really remove the label? I'd like to avoid if not needed because I'm quite sure I'll badly rip it.

Hey, I'm experiencing quite consistently an issue and I'd like to know to which extent is "normal". Using the RASCSI with multiple images, I noticed that in both my LC475 and SE/30 sometimes the Mac fails to boot. Sometimes it doesn't find the boot drive, sometimes it tries to boot then it...

Hello, I checked some docs but didn't find a clear answer... What is the easiest way to know if the display is B&W or it has colours available? Txs!

Hey, I want to take some measures of performance, and I have issues to check the time taken between two steps. This is the code I'm testing: #include <stdio.h> #include <time.h> void waitforkey(void) { while(1) if (getchar()) break; } main() { clock_t t, tt...

Hello, I need to process the KeyDown event for the cursor keys, but I can't figure out how to do it. I managed to understand how to process key press for most keys, but not yet how to read the cursors. For other keys I can do something like this: // The key is pressed while our windows...

Hey, my project is starting to look like something... The App is attached here, it would be nice to have some people testing it. Tomorrow I'll be able to check in some of my Macs. My better 68K Mac is an LC475 with a full 040 at 33MHz... I guess it should be much better in a machine with...

Hey, for my project I need to make a tool to draw profiles as a sequence of segments. The tool would allow to use the mouse to add points to the profile, and while drawing the current segment I want the mouse to draw a "rubber band" line and fix it when pressing the button, then add the next...

Hey, recently I made these replicas of the floppies coming with a 128K or 512K, to complete my 512K. I used as reference this page to a Museum. I'd like to do the same for the Plus, but I don't find a clear reference of which disk came with the Plus. I only found this one, but I guess some...

Just came to show-off this nice (and fully working) set I managed to put together... Got the right mouse and keyboard, the bag and made replicas of the floppies. I will maybe slightly retrobright the mouse and keyboard, and I need to amend a battery contact that was gone due to corrosion.

Hello, I got a 512K that is in pretty good shape, except for the battery holder, which has one contact gone due to corrosion. I guess this battery holder is not easy at all to find, but does anyone of you know about a practical approach to restore it, or to retrofit another solution? Txs!

Hey, does anyone have the part numbers at DigiKey or Mouser for ordering the three RIFA caps of the analog board of the older Macs? Thanks!

I was looking for some example of a suitable bag for my 145B and I couldn’t find anything… Anyone knows how were the bags for these models?

I got today a Mac 512K in fairly good shape. I notice the model number is M0001 WP, but I read that typically it should be M0001 W. Do you know what means the “P” Txs!
