Anyone else have a #PocketCHIP HDMI module that died young? Anyone got it working again?

Following the helpful instructions (https://biosrhythm.com/?p=2688) and copy of the Mini vMac emulator provided by @paulrickards I've now got a running on my Pocket CHiP computer.

It does seem to be pretty responsive though the screen size is a tiny bit smaller than the standard Mac displays, which can cause problems. Games seem to run fine, applications work as well as they would under and I just can't get over seeing the "Welcome to Macintosh" on this screen 🥰​

Welcome to Mac...er...Pocke...uh...MacinCHiP?
Thanks, Larry, John, Steve, and Bruce.

PocketCHIP got some uptime tonight. I managed to get apt working again (jessie repo is on archive.debian.com this week).

I'd left myself a note on the PocketCHIP to install and try the epiphany web browser, so I did. Unfortunately it really doesn't like the tiny screen -- the ui takes up too much room, leaving a url bar thats about 2 characters wide... But it will accept a url on the command line.

More #PocketChip goodness!

Hooked up the USB floppy drive and it worked for msdos 1.44M and 720K disks!

It mounted the Tandy 600 disk but it wasn't right and I wouldn't try to write to it.

CHIP kernel doesn't have Mac hfs compiled in so no mac hd disks.

Everyone’s on their Hand386 so I dusted off my PocketChip and look at that, I’m running System 7.5.3 thanks to Mini VMac! It’s delightfully quick!

After making some really sketchy repository changes and doing an incantation, I got some X11 sources installed and Mini VMac actually compiled without issue!

And look! It’s speaking AppleTalk (UDP) on my network!! Hahaha this is so weird to me. Should I print something to my AppleTalk ImageWriter II from my handheld? 😅

Minesweeper because solitaire didn’t place the cards right (probably because of the weird screen size?)
