It‘s worth mentioning that I have already spent time searching info-mac and other archives and even employed the help of AI to try to track this down. In the end, I figure my best shot is finding someone who saw this and squirreled away a copy.

This is one of those questions like “on the tip of my tongue” but instead of trying to remember some TV show or movie, I am looking for information about a silly piece of software I downloaded from some BBS in the 90s. Everyone who lived through the events surrounding OJ Simpson‘s white bronco...

Or, maybe it is now? I never even considered grabbing my own mirror of these old software archives, but at around 5 gigs, this is like streaming a single movie so why not? Download is working for me right now.

Love that price! Shipping will probably be several times higher than that, but I can understand, given all of the options why a service like JLC3DP can make a lot of sense vs. getting in to a DIY setup (and honestly, another big hobby). If you decide to get these, I am confident one of them...

you’ll have to trim out the one you want to use, but there will be options!

Maybe this will work.

I used black PLA. How about this. I will make a set, staring with a .2mm brim that links together a few different versions, each with thin to thicker bottoms giving you a variety— say .5mm, 1mm, 1.5mm and 2mm giving you some flexibility with feel. 1mm worked fine for me but who knows how much...

I can’t fault them for that. . .as it also preserves the supreme clarity of the top shell. And maybe not all internal PCBs or microswitches are the same. In any case, the button works beautifully now. I was afraid I would never get used to the stiffer button—especially fatiguing with a drag. The...

How big does the brim have t be again? I printed mine with a brim because I didn’t want it to pop off the print bed it is so tiny. . . but that was slicer generated. I could make one with a .2mm brim built in. This is something you could probably knock together with a straw and baking soda +...

Ok, time to add another tiny update to this thread. . . My MacEffects clear mouse shell is great, and I even added handmade clear ADB cord. But the button which is a flexing portion of the upper shell has always been very difficult to click. Maybe this is true for others, or maybe it's just the...

Hey, everyone. . . I was obviously late to the party the first couple go-rounds with GlobalTalk, but now that my SE/30 is restored and many of us have access to networking via BlueSCSI2 or other methods, GlobalTalk still seems to be a fun experiment—especially for those of us just getting their...

Thinking about this a little more— given the inevitable electrolyte leaks happen across all of the boards in roughly similar locations, we have good techniques to find the common issues, but now that I am long past the point of frustration or impatience, I find that the variances from case to...

To my point, I think the question is too broad— you would need to ask, what Address lines could be broken between chip X and chip Y, or from the bus to chip X and so on. A broken address line to the sound chip, for example, might be fine until audio kicks in. That was the case while...

SO, I think the generalization gets mistakenly applied because address and data lines are on a “bus” and many components are tapping into that bus in parallel. I am perhaps oversimplifying it, but in my case, D31 may have only been broken between CPU and SCSI (or more likely, it was D31 on SCSI...

My SE/30 had a broken D31 to the CPU—something I did not find until I had problems mounting a SCSI drive. A bodge fixed it after some tedious continuity testing which was a balancing act front-to-back while trying to hold my probe on the right CPU pin. Perseverance pays off and a quick bodge had...
