it only took 25 years of checking ebay daily, but it finally arrived: the retail edition of FirstClass BBS server + client for the macintosh
it's big, it's heavy, and it's loaded with documentation. among the diskettes, you'll notice the "license disk" which is a key disk/dongle for running the server. it decides how many users can dial-in, or connect over appletalk
the best part was that it includes a pamphlet with their price list as of 1995. just look at those eyewatering prices: $35000 USD for 1000 users 😭
i'm excited to see what kind of license the previous owner bought (e.g. the max# of users they were able to afford).

Yes @fergycool , you are!
Heck, with how rare these are, and how unpopular PowerTalk was, possibly ever?

The Interware RefRouter/TCP. Last week this oddity showed up on Mercari.
Interware are known for their NuBus graphics cards and Mac CPU upgrades… but networking equipment?
Got ZERO web search results for this thing. Google Groups found three Usenet posts of off-hand mentions in 1999. Wayback Machine? Interware’s old homepage didn't mention it. Only found a 1994 magazine scan with a price listing for the related RefLaser and RefBridge products.

I wish someone would 3D print an Apple Lisa logo badge that could be attached to a Lisa 2.
I know MacEffects makes a replacement front panel for the Lisa 2 that includes such a badge, but I'd prefer just a badge that could be stuck to an existing Lisa 2 front panel.
Has anyone seen something of the sort out there somewhere?

Wow look what just popped up on Mercari, an INTERWARE Ref Router LocalTalk Bridge.
Too much money for me but cool seeing rare stuff like this pop up

it took 25+ years of searches, but i finally struck paydirt this morning: a legit, retail copy of FirstClass BBS for the macintosh
the backstory: in 1995, my redneck farm school managed to get an entire lab of twenty Mac LC's, and one of the machines was tucked off in a corner to run "FirstClass" for the entire school using an external 14.4k Global Village Teleport modem.
i was already a bbs kid by this point, but i had never heard of FC. all of the boards i visited were PC/ANSI boards running software like Oblivion/2, Iniquity, PCBoard or Wildcat. i had never even *heard* of a macintosh bbs. our computer teacher managed to get a landline number for the modem, and encouraged me to call it from home.
when i connected from home, i was nonplussed - the board was black/white ASCII with some of the worst menus i had ever seen. i browsed a few of the conferences and logged out. a "lamer board" if i had ever seen one.
the next day, i made my opinion unswervingly clear to my computer teacher: "Your board sucks Mr. M!"
He chuckled, "What? First Class is great! It's you DOS guys that suck."
he motioned to a nearby LC and opened a program called FirstClass Client. it showed a login dialog; he hammered in his u/p and a few seconds later, he was logged in to the BBS over the LAN.
...... except, it was all graphical! the entire board was a rich mac OS gui. navigation between file areas and message conferences was by opening and closing windows, and clicking on buttons. no ascii/ANSI characters. downloading a file was just plain drag and drop from the server's folder to your desktop.
i had never seen anything like it: a bbs that functioned more like an operating system and windowing environment. it was a *decade* ahead of anything i had seen in ms-dos
that experience left a huge impression on me. i never found any bbs that felt as good as FC before or afterward, and spent years trying to find a legit copy of it. because it was insanely expensive ($800+) it was mostly sold to educational and corporate institutions, and very few copies ever showed up on ebay. until today. i can't wait to receive this in a few weeks, and begin documenting
and archiving the contents.fwiw - i wrote a much longer version of this story, and many others about the 90s bbs era, in my book Mages & Modems: A Childhood Well-Wasted in the Golden Age of Personal Computers, Games, and Internet Piracy:

2026 review: which digital camera for your Apple II?
"This very serious video is there to help you, in 2026, choose the best 1990s camera for your 1980s computer."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJNdHbVP3Kg
"The latest release of Quicktake for Apple II brings quite a few more cameras to the party: Sierra cameras (Epson PhotoPC PCDC001, Sanyo VPC-G1, Sanyo VPC-G200, Sierra Imaging SD640, and probably quite a few more), Canon PowerShot 350, Fujifilm DX-8, Konika Q-Mini, Panasonic NV-DCF1."

TIL that Apple publishes a list of “dimensional drawings” for accessory makers (dating back to 2020, for certain products).
Would be cool if they added them all the way back to the 70s. Those could be plotted and make beautiful wall art.
…or used to design a MagSafe case for a Newton MessagePad 130.

Oh my hat ClassicMac is fast! https://github.com/amcchord/ClassicMac
It’s Qemu based with 3D graphics acceleration in Mac OS 9 (G4 emulation). Supports Quadra 800 68040 (Mac OS 7.1-8.1) and PowerPC G4 emulation (Mac OS 8.5-9.2.2).
Qemu is a bit different from the Snow emulator. Snow is closer to actual hardware emulation, so it’s great for testing software talking to hardware type functionality, if that makes sense. https://snowemu.com/
