#vintagemacintosh — Public Fediverse posts

The VOD of yesterday's stream is back up. I had to pull it due to me being a moron (sorry for the big blur part way through). But overall it was a fun one! #vintagemac #vintagemacintosh https://youtube.com/live/D5Vab18fW00?feature=share

On Saturday's noon EDT stream, we're going to start work on @iiidiy 's deceptively clean SE/30 logic board. I also bought a couple microscope cameras to try to hopefully improve my microscope streaming quality. Let's do a mini camera shootout! #vintagemacintosh #vintagemac https://youtube.com/live/D5Vab18fW00?feature=share

The Macintosh POOci has cleaned up pretty nicely. Aside from the startup circuit area, the logic board looks good. On Saturday's noon EDT stream, we're going to recap the board and PSU and announce its giveaway. (We might need to do a little work on the cache card) #vintagemac #vintagemacintosh https://youtube.com/live/alMlDvB1r9o?feature=share

While I was able to sort of stream from a #vintagemacintosh yesterday, I did fail at my #Marchintosh goal of streaming from my Quadra 950. If anyone has any very old versions of Avid Film / Media Composer prior to version 5.5 (under the old naming convention), please reach out!

Finally getting things cleaned up for #MARCHintosh

Time to upgrade some batteries. #vintageapple #VintageMacintosh #MARCHintosh

#vintagemacintosh YT Short showing pre- and post- ultrasonic bath carnage of the Quadra 840av that we looked at on last weekend's stream. Weak stomachs for electronics gore be advised! https://youtube.com/shorts/dTCnTsrxSv0?si=jPigb4Jl27SNjxZx

#vintagemacintosh March is quickly approaching, and I need to get my Quadra 950 ready for a special Marchintosh project. So on Saturday's noon EST stream, let's recap its massive power supply. https://youtube.com/live/XzLKSdn-3rc?feature=share

On Saturday's noon EST stream, I'm going to potentially break a perfectly fine Mac SE/30 logic board by socketing most of the PLCC chips to assist with chip testing. We'll also confirm which chips are required in order to get the Mac to chime. #vintagemacintosh https://youtube.com/live/Sr5ArA128Ok?feature=share

Minor update: support for LZW compression has been added, so those StuffIt archives now take up less space on disk.

Relevant to our interests, it's possible to proxy TLS connections to iCloud Mail (IMAP/SMTP) in order to access it from Mac OS 9. (Cyberdog, here boi!)

Have you ever wished you could create a StuffIt archive on your modern Unix-based Mac with a native open source tool, so you could more easily transfer files to your retro Macs? Well... have fun.

Some Macintosh SE logicboard closeups just for fun.

La boîte est vide mais la carte mère était encore au fond. Beaucoup de corrosion, de ports abîmés et de composants manquants, il a dû dormir dehors longtemps, et on va essayer de lui faire honneur.

My latest short is purely about retrobrighting a Mac SE/30. Retrobrighting the 🍊🤡 Macintosh SE/30 #retrobright #vintagemacintosh

🎉 Wow, someone finally made Mbed-TLS work on a vintage Macintosh OS, because who doesn't need cutting-edge #encryption on their 30-year-old computer? 🚀 Meanwhile, GitHub's just over here, throwing #buzzwords around like "Copilot" and "Codespaces," hoping we forget we're still waiting for AI to write code that *actually* works. 😜

https://ClassicMacDemos.com now has 58 game demos to download and play on #VintageMacintosh computers and emulators. Ten of them can be played directly in your web browser, courtesy of #InfiniteMac. #retrogaming ftw!

I started with some of my faves: the Myth and Marathon trilogies, the Warcraft RTS games, Diablo, Total Annihilation, Unreal Tournament.

Any requests? What games do you want to see? Let me know and I'll try to hunt them down.
