    Transfer Applications to Mac over Serial

    Hi all I'm not very clued up on old Macs, but I have a Macintosh Classic with System 7.0.1 I have no other computers at the moment except for my 2018 MacBook Pro. The Classic is basically a closed system at the moment. My MacBook can read but can't write HFS floppies, so I can't get software...

    A good console repair forum?

    Thought I'd take advantage of the wealth of gamers on this forum- I have an original "phat" Nintendo DS. The touchscreen has a membrane which has got a rather large scratch (More of a chunk, actually) Taken out of it. My question is if I can replace this protective layer withouth replacing the...

    Wanted - HP Printer spare

    Anybody got a HP PSC 1xxx series that they don't want/is broken? The piece of clear (Although in others sometimes coloured) plastic top with the HP logo on the lid of the scanner on mine has shattered, and I am looking for a spare. Actually, if someone could tell me what that bit is actually...

    Ruckingenur II

    I spotted a post on hackaday that mentioned a game in which the goal is to reverse-engineer hardware in a military setting. I wasn't interested at first, but after a few days I downloaded it. What a surprise! It's actually really fun, in a geeky sort of way. It's presented in the style of a NES...

    Transformer ratings

    Help! I need clarification for transformer ratings. I've already got myself thoroughly confused. One schematic I read calls for a "15v CT x 1A winding" I'm guessing this means 15v and 1A from the secondary coil, but I'm not sure. I see transformers elsewhere rated as TX 15v/6VA for example. Is...

    Found a National Semiconductor data book from '76 - If anyone can't find a datasheet for a NS chip from that time, it may be in here. Will scan on request.

    Earthquake

    Only a teensy one, but considering the UK isn't near any faults, and never having felt one before, it was certainly strange being woken up at 1 in the morning by the house shaking... I forgot that we can have hundreds of earthquakes a year, they're always small and rarely felt but I remembered...

    Get data from Spectrum motherboard

    This is my third effort to try and fix this spectrum +2. The inbuilt cassette unit is crapped up. I managed to find the audio data out on the motherboard. It is very quiet, and can only really be heard with a small earpiece. A 3.5mm jack direct from the board to the mic input on a cassette...

    Sinclair RPN

    I just got a 1970 something Sinclair Scientific, after a bit of tinkering and persuading it came to life, although battery corrosion has caused the bottom right corner keys to be a little unresponsive. I've never used RPN before, but says I wanted to add 2 and 2, on the calculator I'd press 2...

    Wtd: ZX81, Spectrum, Mac

    My wages at the moment are tied up in Christmas Presents, but a warning before everyone gets crazy christmas syndrome and starts throwing computers out of the windows (Unlikely, but nevermind) my next paycheque is promised on a vintage computer, having not bought one for many months. So I could...

    SATA >> Floppy power connector

    Any idea where I can get one of these in the UK? I have an IDE DVD RW drive which I want to use in my PC which only supports SATA. Dug out a IDE to SATA converter but it draws power from a standard floppy power connector. I only have one in my PC which I use to power the floppy drive (Oddly...

    Transistors/Diodes

    Can anyone give me the values/codes for bog standard npn transistors and silicon diodes for multipurpose and general tinkering? Transistors would probably be used for switching rather than amplification (Does that sound right? ;) ) At the mo in college I'm doing basic 555 timer circuits, we've...

    Gaming PC

    I've been saving for a long while for a new PC. I've only got 350 GBP but it's a start. I want a PC for gaming, not serious hard-core gaming but enough to play most new titles for a while or perhaps Oblivion at medium/high settings. I want one from a large retailer for the guarantee and...

    DOS 5 1/4" discs.

    Can anyone post me some DOS startup/boot and install disks for my samsung XT clone? I don't know which version would work best with a standard XT clone. I think it's a 360kb drive. Dong Feng sent me some a while back but a mix up at the post office meant they didn't arrive. Also wanted are PAL...
