#macplus — Public Fediverse posts

This stood out at this morning's Silicon Valley Electronics Flea Market. A Macintosh Plus++! An upgrade from Total Systems gave it a 68030, more RAM, an external video jack peeking out of the lock slot, and a SCSI port where the battery door used to be!

Interesting enough that it drew my attention away from the IBM 5155 on the table nearby.

Ain't got a lot of space at the moment, but I at least got my long-suffering Mac Plus out of storage and gave it (and an MSX) a nice spot to sit. Even gave it a little light to maybe distract it from the Sad Mac that hangs heavy over its heart.

UW Surplus is selling a... _Macintosh Plus_?

This has clearly been in a closet somewhere for a _very long time_. But it turns on! xD

And for #marcintosh , I finally assembled the case that @DosFox built and sent me for my #macplus clone!

I procrastinated on this build for a year or so...

Isn't it a beauty?

The #macintosh is also fitted with a miniperformer+ 68030 accelerator.

Turns out old #iPAD 1/2 screen works very well with #MySTery Nano - FPGA #Atari ST, #Amiga, #C64, #MacPlus hardware implementation. Here doing a bit of "scanlines" emulation

MacPaint Art From The Mid-80s Still Looks Great Today via decryption's blog [Shared]

I really enjoyed browsing the BMUG's CD-ROM and discovering early 80s art made in MacPaint, so I browsed all 18,000+ MacPaint images on Discmaster to see what gems I can unearth. Here is some what I found.

🎶 ☠️ 🤍 Jeez. I've been doing this electronic music composition for awhile. ;-)

Note that MacPlus. That little computer opened up a world for me!

The keyboards are a Yamaha DX7, en Ensoniq-1, and a Roland Juno 106

Trying out some games from the MacPack (Internet Archive) and look what I ran across, a Defender clone called MacLanding.

I wonder if this guy did any more programming for the Mac?

I'm pleased to announce that the new revision of the MiniPerformer+ for the #macplus arrived, got assembled and worked at the first try!
No bodges or cuts in this one!

Will probably have some free time in the weekend to write some docs and release everything!

Anyone know what the CRT refresh rate on the original Mac / Fat Mac / Mac Plus is? 60Hz?

Got my BlueSCSI from @onegeekarmy today! Really happy with it. I can’t use it right now (the Mac is disassembled waiting for a cleaning session), but will soon. 😊 #macplus #retrocomputing #bluescsi #macintosh

My T15 torx arrived. Started inspecting the Mac. #macintosh #apple #macplus #retrocomputing

I recently acquired a Mac Plus. Taking advantage of #marchintosh, can someone make a video about putting a BlueSCSI internally on one? Extra points of you show how to configure and install a ROMinator. Please? 🥺🙏 #apple #macintosh #macplus

I took a few pictures more of the recently acquired Mac Plus. Personal trivia: a second hand Mac Plus was the first computer I bought with my own money. #macplus #macintosh #apple #retrocomputers

Hello, old friend! #macplus #macintosh #apple

Hello #followerpower !

I'm looking for #boot discs for my #Apple #macplus (System 6.0.x). Mine got lost during the last move ...

Gladly both variants:
- the single disc for booting with floppy or
- the whole disc set for the installation on external HD

Thanks for your help!

Hallo #followerpower !

Ich bin auf der Suche nach #boot disks für meinen #Apple #macplus (System 6.0.x). Meine sind beim letzten Umzug verloren gegangen …

Gerne beide Varianten:
- die einzelene Diskette für das Booten mit Diskette oder
- den ganzen Diskettensatz für die Installation auf externe HD

Danke für Eure Hilfe!

@retrotechtive I got the screwdriver, but I still can't get the top screws out of the Mac! Tips welcomed! #ClassicMac #MacPlus

oops, this is the real link I meant to share last night

MIDI has been on my mind since at least May of 2024. Here's a recap of the timeline of things I've accomplished:
