For anyone who is an old school #Apple fanatic, check out these interviews of my good friend and colleague, Jimmy Mensch, who retired from Apple in 2023 (about 6 months before I retired).
He talks about working as an Apple Computer service technician and then starting a long and successful career at Apple working on the #AppleII #AppleIIgs #MacLC #MacOS #MacOSX Rosetta #AppleTV #iCloud, and more.

I was trying to figure out how to correctly install a math co-processor FPU in my #VintageApple #MacLC III.
Here is a TikerDifferent.com discussion that had good photos of how to align the chip for installation.

My #MARCHintosh2023 project is coming a long nicely, thanks to #BlueSCSI v1!
Here's my #MacLC III booting off of a BlueSCSI using a disk image I created in #BasiliskII on my #MacStudio.

For #MARCHintosh2023, I’m working on restoring a #MacLC III. During that restoration, I need to replace the original Quantum SCSI drive with a #BlueSCSI v1.
If your recollection of SCSI details from Mac that you used in the 1990s is a bit foggy - like mine is - you will want to read this brief clip from the Apple Introduction to SCSI Concepts, Chapter 3:

Since it’s #MARCHintosh 2023 and since I have a #MacLC III to service, I decided to buy myself a soldering iron and desoldering pump so I can swap out the caps in the power supply.
Fingers crossed! This will be my first recapping job.

I'm going to take my first run at servicing a #VintageApple 12-inch RGB Display today.
Nothing too crazy, I'm going to try to swap the guts from a damaged case into a good (yellowed) case. I'll have to leave a recap for another time.
If you have one of these monitors for your #MacLC computer, here is a good resource that I found.

Prototype of a MicroSD extension holder for the #Macintosh #LCII & #LCIII.
Made with #OpenSCAD of course.
Disregard the color, I need to get the proper RAL filament.
To my surprise the clip holds perfectly inside the FDD bracket clip cutout and seems to be strong enough.
The SD extender fits inside as well…
