MacDat aims to collect important vintage hardware reference and repair information from around the web into one central place. The site currently has over 1300 pages and counting!

MacDat is home to the web's largest laptop specification database, and the most complete collection of Macintosh capacitor reference documentation on the internet.

If you would like to contribute to the site, see this page.

Why does the website look out of date?

Beyond the fact that I'm just not very good at HTML/CSS, I much prefer the retro feel, especially for a retrocomputing site like MacDat. I also just feel like most modern websites are too generic and bland looking, and I don't want MacDat to be like that.


When is the next site update coming?

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.
