SCSI and Compact Flash

We ran an article on Low End Mac a few weeks ago about running PowerBooks with PC Card slots from Compact Flash cards. There's an online article explaining how to hack a PowerBook 150, which normally uses an IDE hard drive, to run from Compact Flash. Someone's even come up with a Compact Flash/

For me, classic Macs were the "golden age" of computing. .Does anyone think that we will witness the "death of the classics"?  (The day when there are not even enough of us to even keep lists like this going?) Matt (Still holding on to my beloved SE/30, Macintosh TV, and SE FDHD) go

Pearl Harbor Day

On a balmy summer day in 1983 I sailed past the remains of the USS Arizona while serving on board the Amphibious Assault Ship, USS Tarawa. I found the occasion both exciting and solemn. Exciting, because six months overseas and American port was a sight for sore eyes. Solemn, because there are o

IIfx ROM in SE/30

We've just had two listers report that the IIfx ROM didn't work in their SE/30's. It worked fine for me, and also a guy I know in Vancouver had same success. I wonder if problems are caused by SE/30's being different in some way. Or maybe the problem IIfx ROMs aren't the real thing. Gamba

I recently came across a few Apple items and need info on them. #1 is an Apple modulator model A2M4020. What does it go with? #2 is a Logitech parallel port adapter 2 model S-PPA 2. Will this work with my SE or Preforma 638? It has the same small round 8 pin plug and also 2 other plugs. Runs on 13
