Massive content update for the Laptop Portal! New sections for Dual, HP, PC Brand, and Smart D&M. New documentation (and lots of it) in the Gateway, Nan Tan/Kapok/Clevo, Compal, Chicony, Mitac, IBM, Toshiba, MicronPC/MPC, Twinhead, Dell, Hyperdata, NEC, and FIC sections. Oh, and some new cap reference!

The Laptop Portal has been completely overhauled with a new PHP+SQL backend! This means that you can now search for laptops, compare any two laptops side by side, and in the future you'll be able to search by specifications too! See here for more details.

I don't have a new site update ready yet, but a big one is coming soon. My current estimate is that it will be ready to go by the end of this month. Could be earlier, could be later, but around then. Stay tuned.

A little bit (or a lot) of everything - New/improved Macintosh pages, new/improved cap reference, new/improved laptop pages and more. Plenty of new content to explore, and more to come soon.

Here's another large content update. MPC and Lenovo sections have been added to the laptop portal, along with new pages in the Compal, HyperData, Twinhead, Toshiba, Chicony, NEC, Compaq, Jetta, WinBook, Nan Tan/Kapok, Dell, and Zenith sections. I have also updated and improved many existing laptop pages. There are new schematics and capacitor reference pages in the Repair Portal, and some new content in the Macintosh Portal as well.

MacDat aims to collect important vintage hardware reference and repair information from around the web into one central place. The site currently has over 1100 pages and counting!
If you have any information, cap reference, images that I could use, or any suggestions for the site, or if you've found an error somewhere, see this page for info on how to reach me, and what exactly could help me out.
For a few reasons. First, I'm just not too good at HTML/CSS. That aside though, I honestly prefer the more retro feel either way. The new web all feels generic, like every site was made by the same person, and I just don't like that very much.
I work on the site almost every day, but I usually only push changes live once I have a good number of them built up. That typically comes around once per month.
Macintosh Portal - Specifications, repair info, and more about vintage macintosh computers.
