Since I set up CQ II BBS almost 2 years ago now, several new Mac BBS's have popped up (or I just recently discovered them!). Let me know if I've missed any.

Check my Mac Minus thread to see what the heck this is about, but I finally published the main components of the V2 case:

The Apple IIe Card lets you run Apple IIe programs on a Macintosh LC or another Mac with compatible PDS. Once you've set a few options in the card's Options Panel, turning the Macintosh into an Apple Ile is as simple as double-clicking an icon on the Macintosh desktop. While in the Apple IIe...
I picked up an iBook G4 12" in great condition at 1.07 GHz, and the RAM maxed out to 1.25 GB. Yay! :D :cool:
Now, I will get the 30 GB IDE ATA/100 HDD swapped out to the 128 GB SSD. This is what I am thinking...
I was browsing through buyee.jp, and this caught my eye:

It is another dual PDS adapter for the SE/30, not by Artmix nor Bolle. Pricing hovers around $93 USD. @Kay K.M.Mods, can you look that up and let us know...
Overview
In this thread, we will discuss and document extended mode in the 1-bit video on a second display to the 128k, 512k, Plus, SE, SE30, Classic, and Classic II. The goal is to develop a driver, INIT, and CDEV working with related hardware.
It would be good that this would be open-source...
UPDATE! :)
Gary Rice generously released the Black & Bleu - The Ultimate Mac Error Codes Utility on Macintosh Garden. This is an excellent resource for making sense of the Sad Mac codes, more than what is listed below.
Apple's overview below is a good guide to introducing yourself and getting...
Hi All,
@eric (Eric H.) asked me to post pictures of these little devices here. I bought a huge estate and these were in there. I have been in the IT business for over 40 years and these were the only ones of these I ever saw. Eric and I were wondering if someone might want to take a...
Introduction
All PowerBook models released up to and including the PowerBook G3 (Bronze keyboard) include an external SCSI port except the PowerBook Duo 200 series. The PowerBook Duo must be connected to a dock of some kind to have a physical SCSI port (SCSI Disk Mode is only supported with the...
This document resource is the Macintosh SE and Macintosh SE/30 section of the Apple Service Technical Procedures Macintosh Family Volume One. Last revised by Apple in March 1990, it includes procedures to assist with taking apart and repairing and provides an overview and technical information...
The Macintosh SE/30 personal computer was designed for people who want maximum performance from a compact computer system. It provides up to four times the computational speed of the Macintosh SE while continuing to offer the benefits that characterize all Macintosh computers: a consistent user...
The Macintosh SE/30 embodies the same "user-friendly" philosophy as the original Macintosh while providing more memory, faster performance, and greater expandability. The Macintosh is still easy to learn and use, and now it's more powerful than ever.
Key features of the Macintosh SE/ 30...
On Boot
Those keystrokes should be pressed at start-up (boot) time. All letter keys are lowercase.

I just finished cleaning, recapping, and reassembling an SE. It had a MicroMac MultiSpeed accelerator in it when I got it. The machine boots to the '?' disk without the accelerator installed. With the accelerator installed, I get this:
So I'm guessing one of the SIMMs is bad (I think there...
Hello everyone! :)👋
I came across a page discussing "Cloud 7," which involves mounting a folder as drive access over HTTP.
It is explained by bbraun at:

Has anyone tried this? Thoughts? Would this be easier than an AS server over IP or FTP...
Well, this just fell into my lap! Literally never really thought about getting a Plus before as it seemed kinda pointless with me having an SE...well, a few/eight SE's and SE/30's in various states of being broken...
However, I told myself that if i ever found one for a non-silly price, with...

This will allow the use of the PLCC ADB Transceiver in the Macintosh SE, which is the only model that uses a DIP18 part. There's not much to it other than that!
@Branchus has used one of these, successfully, in a troublesome SE, iirc.
The github page to the project and the gerbers, is here...
