Here is a brief update for anyone who is considering using the Bambu kit. . . I found that with a good print, the model I used above comes together nicely at first, but you need to be careful with the wheel supports so as not to break them. Then, once assembled, there is some flex of the board...

Oh, nice timing I guess. That Lisa case project would be a nice match. Very cool!

By the way, the kit is a true 3 button mouse, with FOUR buttons, actually. There's left, right, and center (that small little square behind the scroll wheel is a tiny middle button). The wheel itself has the spindle inside a rotary component on one side and the axle rides over a larger diameter...

Finally printed a vintage Mac mouse designed for the Bambu Mouse 002 kit. The kit is avaialble in the Bambu shop. It is cheap and it is a pretty nice setup with the internals of an optical wireless mouse, USB dongle, power switch cover, battery terminals and wiring, and even a set of screws...

That’s what I was thinking too. I may give that a try later. Thanks!

Haven’t seen anyone mention this (haven’t specifically searched yet), but I see GlobalTalk zones from the eMate! Not sure what else I can do with AppleTalk from a Newton device, but it works (via PhoneNET connectors). Kinda neat. I guess I could sync from my eMate to halfway around the world!

I just posted messages about getting GlobalTalk working on my SE/30 over on Discord, and while I might not normally cross-post here too, I figured there might be someone struggling through the same simple problem I was running into. The issue was this: AIR configured properly on an SE/30...

Thanks for confirming! Any chance you have the file(s)?

Ok, I really appreciate the attention everyone is giving this. Seriously, it’s great to see this community come together to feed nostalgia and troubleshoot something so absurd! I cannot ask for any more than this—you have collectively answered my question and I thank you for that! I contend that...

It seems like a good idea, and I did try it—still just a flash and nothing. I am definitely starting to question my own recollection of the system I used. I maintained that it just HAD to be on a Mac Plus, but in 1994, there may be a chance I saw it on a Quadra 660AV. I know, that changes a...

Hmm. Well, I think this must be a knock off, or the one I am thinking of was a knockoff. I dunno why I first tried it with system 8.1 since that was obviously outside my own timing parameters. Yet, in spite of trying more appropriate versions of MacOS, I can’t get it to work. I can get it to...

Tried it on Infinite Mac, running 8.1, AD 2 works fine on that system, but this module doesn’t appear. AD 3 it does appear but actually none of the AD screensavers works. I am sure I will eventually find a working combo virtual or real hardware, but the missing audio is a bummer. However, this...

OH YES! Thanks so much. Going to give it a try now!

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...
