Hey retro Mac peeps, I need to get some new video ram for my LC475. I remember that someone was making it fairly recently but now I can't find any info online. Do you know if anyone is currently selling the 512k simms? #retrocomputing #mac #mac68k

New toy for my SE - next step would be to gather some more RAM and a FPU :) #MARCHintosh #mac68k #retrocomputing #macintosh

I'll be streaming a bit of #OpenSCAD modeling of a #MacPortable part right now:

SETI@home … Anfang 2000 gab es auch einen Mac-68k-Client, und so stapfte mein braver Mac SE/30 damit ausgestattet los, um Anomalien zu finden. Die erste WU war schnell per Ethernetkarte heruntergeladen, und das rechnen startete.
Der 1989 als „Numbercruncher“ bekannt gewordene Würfelmac (68030 CPU, 68882 FPU, 16 MHz) gab alles, aber etwa 30 Minuten bevor die Work Unit „durch“ war, endete ihre Lebenszeit und wurde verworfen. Bitter für den kleinen Racker, aber nun gehörte er in der Wissenschaft offiziell zum alten Eisen.
Eine Zeit lang hat dann ein Performa 475 Work Units bearbeitet, in einem Bruchteil der Zeit, auf einem 68040 bei 25 MHz.
Der SE/30 durfte dann wieder Framemaker 3, ClarisWorks 3, Canvas 3.5.6 und MagiCMac ausführen.

Wenn du Snow, den »low level« Mac-Emulator für Linux, Mac, Windows noch nicht kennst: ein tolles Stück Software.
• Emuliert hardwarenah, d.h. auch Software wie Hard Disk Partitionierer läuft
• Bequeme Handhabung von Disk-Images
• Kann auch einen SCSI-Ethernet-Adapter emulieren und somit Netzwerk samt TCP/IP in den emulierten Mac bringen¹
• Mittels BlueSCSI-Tools auch ein Austausch mit dem Host-FS möglich, wenn auch etwas umständlich
• Emuliert Mac 128k bis Mac II
• Man merkt an vielen kleinen Detail-Lösungen, dass Mühe drin steckt
• Open Source¹ Dafür braucht’s noch einen Nightly Build, die Release-Version kann das noch nicht.

We have display! 🥳
By chance I think, I didn't set the address.

I'm rebuilding the battery for my Macintosh Portable, so why not do a live stream about it?

Does anyone know a resource for Mac DB15 to 13w3 screen cables?
We got a few (grayscale CRT) Portrait screens from Apple, and these have 13w3.

Someone reported a bug on #SilkDust. It appears only in the versions of the game where all the parts are spliced together in a single executable (Amiga, Macintosh, Atari ST, etc.).
The game can be finished, but there is an object that is not shown in the inventory (but can still be used) and there are some quite misleading messages. If you are stuck in part 2 read this: https://itch.io/post/12785724 #TextAdventure #IndieGame #retrocomputing #Amiga #Mac68k -
@ry @kalleboo Ooooh, Think Pascal.
Back in … 1989? a club colleague introduced me to the local uni’s computer lab, filled with Mac II. Base config, 13" color screen with 640x480 in 256 colors, with Hypercard and Think Pascal on it. And some word processor.
Coming from the Atari ST, the Mac II wasn’t much faster than what I had, and the GUI was theoretically similar.
But ThinkPascal felt sooo much more advanced due to the tight integration of its source level debugger into the IDE. On the ST, debuggers weren’t integrated yet into the UI, and were cumbersome to use.
So Think Pascals step-by-step debugger and variable inspection in windows were mind-blowing for me ("how to they do this in supervisor mode, and yet have full access to high-level OS/grafport/window calls?" -- little did I know how hacky System 6/7 were).
These memories.

So, the only thing I hate more than people forcing me to published unfinished work because they are redoing what I spend nights already doing, is people wasting time doing what I already did…
