WFH - PowerBook G4

I didn't change out the Mac SE/30 for a couple of weeks, but for this week I dug out one of my favorite laptops, the Apple PowerBook G4. Back in the 00s I used a 15" PowerBook G4 and had access to the 12" iBooks, but never got to …

Work from home continues with my Macintosh SE/30

Another week at home, another retro terminal to work from, my 128MB Macintosh SE/30! I've talked about this bad boy a lot in the last few months. It's such a workhorse, and everytime I get on it I'm transported to 1990. The terminal I'm using is...

Working from home on the iMac G4

Another week working from home, another week with a piece of retro equipment. The iMac G4 mamay not technically be retro, but I believe it is old enough! This particular model was bought during the OS X 10.3 release party at the Apple Store....

Assembling my Floppy Emu from Big Mess O' Wires

Back on February 1st I ordered a Floppy Emu from Big Mess O' Wires. The Floppy Emu emulates a floppy disk drive. Floppy disk images can be stored on the SD card and mounted from the Floppy Emu itself. This makes it a lot easier to transfer and...

I now have 128MB of RAM in my SE/30!

Well, I couldn't find my long handle T-15 Torx screwdriver, but it turns out I didn't have to. Apparently, when I installed the SCSI2SD, I never put the screws back in by the handle. While that works in my favor now, I'm going to need to dig...

Upgrading my SE/30 to 128MB of RAM

My trusty Macintosh SE/30 has had 5MB of RAM in it since I installed the SCSI2SD and System 7.1. Now that I have a [modem/ppp] device available, I want to upgrade to System 7.5. From what I've been able to find, I really need at least …
