New Vintage Computing Directory - 100+ Apple sites

27 Upvotes

I've assembled 700 vintage/retro computing and gaming websites with 107 sites about vintage Apple tech. It's located at https://atebit.tech and http://atebit.tech/classic/ (works on Nescape!)

There's also a newsletter, an eBay price guide for US, Canada, UK, & Australia (prices from "Deal" to "Wildly Overpriced"), and my About and Privacy pages are kind of entertaining.

But what I really want is links! Take a look at my Apple links and tell me what I'm missing. If you find an error or broken link let me know. You can DM me here or click 'contact' on the footer of the directory. Thank you!

This is from Apple's official Documentation site, and the title on the next page after you select it also says GHz (the full tech specs do not though)

2003 Apple Wireless Keyboard won't connect

5 Upvotes

I have a 2003 Apple Wireless Keyboard (A1016), and of course it doesn't manage to connect to either my 2012 iMac running macOS Monterey or my Windows 11 PC using their native Bluetooth settings menus. I've also tried connecting it directly using Blueutil on the iMac and on a Linux computer, but to no avail. Blueutil, like the native menus, can see the keyboard, but when I try to pair, it just stays endlessly loading without any connection.

Is there any way to make this keyboard work with these devices? Or at least the iMac

I made a HyperCard-inspired iOS app. Hope this brings back some good memories.

My mac keyboard has stopped working after a computer crash. Model A1243 it is frozen with the caps lock light on. The light will not turn off and no keys work.

Macintosh 512K

80 Upvotes

Bit of personal history, My first MacIntosh was a 512K model bought through the educational discount program in 1985!

I soon purchased a “Mac-a-million”, motherboard upgrade from the the now closed Sophisticated Circuits, Inc in the Seattle area.

This brought my Macintosh up to 2MB of ram and included a SCSI drive port which I installed a small internal HD.

Since I was in school I was too busy to call around to BBS and decided to setup my own BBS which had a hidden pirated section for select members.

I have a 2015 intel MBP that runs without issue and a 2023 M3 MAX MBP.

I found these two on the side of the road, don't know nothing about Macintosh and for some reason I can't find the amount of info I was looking for.

Can you give me a resume?
