Picked up this official Apple DB9 <-> Mini-DIN8 adapter from eBay the other day, so that I can have a serial cable for my vintage Macs, in the hope of using it for TechStep diagnostics among other things.

Unfortunately, it's not wired correctly, according to the guide at https://recon-68k.github.io/#serial-adapters-and-cables. And I didn't check the pinout first because my multimeter died (see: https://oldbytes.space/@smallsco/117193190601081442) and I figured it would be fine anyway, after all it's an official part right?

But with it connected to my serial cable (this guy: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0759HSLP1) between my MacBook Pro and my Power Mac 6500, the serial cable got hot - scalding hot - needed-oven-mitts-to-unplug-it hot 🥵 Hopefully nothing got damaged.

(I'd also tried earlier with my IIfx and it did not get hot but it didn't work either)

I love the Mac LCIII, so let's try to save this one that someone ran a drill into. Just another normal Saturday noon stream here at the BigBadBench. #ewaste #vintagemac https://youtube.com/live/-zvet5a9AaA?feature=share

Simple Spooler 0.3 can be found on #GlobalTalk in the Cloudbusting zone, at Puppet Head:Ken's Stuff:Simple Spooler 0.3.

I've also put the source on AmendHub (thanks @jcs !) Amend is a nifty source code control system for classic Mac OS. https://amendhub.com/thecloud/SimpleSpooler

I haven't done much #PenPlotter in a while so I thought I'd get back into it today with this idea that's been kicking around in my head for a while.

I'll have a couple of these plots available for sale at the VCF Swap Meet tomorrow.

🔍 A peek into our Saturday open lab, where we're assembling a replica of the Apple I computer for our museum. 🛠️ While our team handles the assembly, visitors are welcome to join in and participate in the lab activities. 👥

All the components needed to build the PiSCSI have arrived. Now, just a bit of soldering, and I'll be able to connect it to my Macintosh SE. And once the filaments arrive, I'll print the case, and it will look awesome!

The weather was so nice today that I decided to do some #retrobright on my old #MacintoshSE. For a first try, it turned out pretty well😎 One part still needs some fixing, but overall, I’m happy with it. Now I just need to put it all back together. #retro #vintageMac

ETA: THE PRINTER IS GONE DON'T BOOST THIS ANYMORE

Thanks!

okay I'm not sure how to get the attention of any #Seattle local people involved with the #LocalTalk #RetroComputing network BUT

a localtalk-talking laserjet just showed up on Free Stuff on Seattle craigslist and I thought maybe someone might be interested:

The way it works is this:

1. A print is initiated from a device to the CUPS-PDF driver on my #netatalk Raspberry Pi.
2. The resulting PDF is placed in the AFP share of netatalk/afpd.
3. An emulated PPC Mac 9.2.2 running the #AppleScript below is watching for new files in that folder and will print them using Acrobat Reader to the #ImageWriterII via #LocalTalk using the MacPalette II driver.

It works, but crashes with dialog that I can't auto-dismiss.

With netatalk, a TashTalk hat, TashRouter, and CUPS on the Raspberry Pi, we can do clever things like share a #ImageWriter II printer over #LocalTalk with an iPhone using AirPrint!

This screenshot was printed from my phone to the ImageWriter II.

Interestingly, this was just fixed in the latest netatalk 2.3.2!

Which one would you add next?

hey folks anyone know how to get SheepShaver bridged to the host's network on macOS 14?

i've got the network device set to slirp. i swear this worked earlier this year, but i keep getting a 10.x.x.x address and router now, instead of the 192.168.y.y i'd expect from my home network, and i can no longer reach the PowerBook G3 AppleShare server on the same network from SheepShaver.

questions:

• does SheepShaver bridging interact badly with Parallels?
• do i need Internet Sharing set to a specific setting, or does that not affect however bridging works?

i don't need AppleTalk support, just IP.

In between writing a script (which I totally shouldn't be doing as it's officially my day off), I'm trying to get OS X 13.4 running on my XServe 2.1. It was working JUST FINE until Installed a new graphics card, and now... no luck.
