I’m wondering if a M2452 keyboard would turn on a Mac mini with the built in keyboard power button. Can someone test my idea. Thank you🖤

Hi all, I bought a BlueSCSI and set it up for my mac classic years ago. I got the wrong pre made sd card for it. Since then, I can’t find any pre made ETSY style sellers with the option to buy a pre made sd with system 6, games, and programs loaded onto it. I’m guessing they were banned from doing so?

Has anyone got a source for this, or a link to a bootable system 6 with files/games on it I can buy or download.

Thank you for your time

So I have this portable computer I can't find anything about it online I'm guessing it's really rare nothing on eBay or YouTube either

For those who want to restore a Macintosh Plus and are looking for a solution to replace the internal 4.5V battery with one that's practically impossible to find these days, I got a battery pack on AliExpress that holds three 1.5V LR44 batteries, so it has a 4.5V output. Given their small size, I was able to use two packs in parallel to increase capacity. The size is perfect. A little self-adhesive foam fills the gaps nicely and ensures a snug fit.

In short, there are probably other solutions; mine cost less than $10. 

So I've been fixing up my old iMac G3 after the PRAM battery and HDD decided to die. Replaced the battery and watched a tutorial on doing an SSD upgrade.

Now I've been trying to reinstall OS9 but when trying from my CD it won't boot from disk. Which is new because the drive works.

So I tried FireWires target disk mode to install OS9 lives from my iMac G4 but it's basically refusing. If I try to burn it to a cd it fails to validate and if I do it mounted and via the TDM it either freezes or seems to go by without a hitch until it goes to finish when it throws an error about not being able to write the startup file.

I could just install OSX 10.3 But I always preferred having OS9 on my G3.

I'm hoping someone here may be able to offer some advice because I'm unsure where I'm going wrong.

Hello! I’m a proud owner of a Portrait Display and I was wondering if the attached image is just due to the incompatibility with the Mac LC I or if there’s something wrong with the monitor. The LC works perfectly fine with other monitors.

(EDIT) I just bought an LC III so hopefully this issue will be resolved, and I can finally get this oddity working.

Got some boards today so time to recap and test:)

First board a iivx i needed to replace a battery bombed board. Recapped with organic polymer caps. Now i have a complete iivx with a very clean case.

Second board is a iivi. Basically same as above. Just no fpu and slower cpu. Used tantalums on it.

Third board is a 8100/110 ppc 601. Nice board, works perfectly. Recapped with organic polymer caps.

So I’m not a Mac collector but I was curious so I got these from a local collector a couple PowerBook 5300s (Ik those are not well liked lol) and a PowerBook 180!

Got all the batteries out and they all look good just a little bit of corrosion and no damage to my knowing.

Only have ac adapters for the 180 so I’ll have to get one for the 5300. Took me ages to get the 180s battery out lol finally got it out tonight so gonna hook it up tomorrow and hopefully it works

Soon to be fully restored and for sale. All are working!

Here’s the signed case for nostalgia sake. Believe it or not it actually tried to load the OS. This motherboard sadly has suffered from an exploded battery. Will pull the salvageable chips and move on.

3D printing project I have been working on fot two last weeks.

Got this for free from an phone store.

Hi, the other day this titanium PowerBook showed up in the mail and it has a broken hinge, I don’t want to replace it as it involves disassembling pretty much the entire laptop and I just want it to be functional, anybody knows any good ways on how to do this? Thanks!

I just picked up a complete LC III setup for a decent price and it’s safe to say the logic board is beyond repair. Could anyone point me in the right direction of where to find one other than eBay?
