84-24 is a beautiful -- both technically and visually --account of restoring an original #Macintosh. A good cozy engineering read for first morning coffee.
Heeeeeeck yeah. The Raspberry Pi Pico-W transplant into the #BlueSCSI was a success. Loading web sites is pretty dang slow, but it tops out at like 60Kb/sec, not much faster than a 56K modem, not that those existed when this #Macintosh IIci was contemporary. I think the disk driver in the image I used is super slow. I remember seeing a warning in the log file. So going to fiddle with it in the near future, but for now just so glad this is working. Such a neat machine.
Edit: Oh and I forgot to tag @ActionRetro and @mac84tv for all their hard work with Frog Find and such oh and thanks to the #ProtoWeb project too!
I would like to record some game play footage from my XBOX to my M1 MacBook Air. I don’t need a webcam (no wants to see me 😀). I will add some subtitles to it later. I don’t need to stream.
42!! Lucky number! NOT 84! (Even though it came out in '84, that's immaterial!)
The ONLY Macintoshes that ran at 512x384 were the 1990 Mac LC and IIsi with the 12" screen, and the Color Classic and perhaps other related later all-in-ones.
ALL MONOCHROME COMPACT MACS HAD 512x342 RESOLUTION SCREENS.
Pinot is a skilled pixel artist and animator who does his work on #vintageComputing hardware, mostly early #Macintosh computers.
He suffered a devastating stroke in 2022 and lost much of his motor control. I’m glad to see him back doing #pixelArt and posting again! Give him a follow on Instagram if you’re there.
🛠️🍏 Next week, our volunteer Andrés will begin assembling a museum replica of the Apple I computer. It's an "open lab," so feel free to get hands-on, as it will take place in the classroom on the 1st floor. All are welcome!
Needs a clean but I'm told it works. Peering inside, no battery leakage and caps look okay - though there's lots of dust. Slight cracks on front cover but otherwise intact.
