  1. With all the talk about the iPhone 17 Pro Max being on Artemis II, it wasn't the only time an Apple product made it to space!

    In 1991, the STS-41 took a #MacintoshPortable to space to evaluate the suitability of GUIs and other hardware like trackballs in space.

    The Macintosh Portable's trackball didn't work well but in STS-43, they took another Macintosh Portable with a modified trackball.

    (I think this here is Astronaut William Shepherd using the #Macintosh Portable.)

  6. So, yesterday on @DavesVintageAppleTech 's stream I started modeling the side panel of the back cover for the #MacintoshPortable :

    github.com/mmuman/cad-retro-pa

    Finished way too late in the morning, but needs testing.

    I also glued back some parts of the original, with reinforcement from a blister pack. UHU Plast seems to hold.

  21. Printed a battery charger cradle for the Macintosh Portable. This will make it easier to maintain the lead acid battery outside of the machine when I’m not using it. The pogo pins for the terminals are on order.

    The original SLA battery in the pic is long dead but the case can be used to host a new one.

  26. ✌️ Peace and 💾 Floppies: the Macintosh Portable LCD display is so crisp and sharp, it looks like a cross stitch. This is with the backlight off.
