Hmmm.... The Mac version doesn't want to let me import STP... If you cannot create an STL file (which all modern Macs support on the OS level), then perhaps you could post it to Printables, since that site has a built-in viewer, as you can see in this example...

I can open and rotate STL files merely by selecting the file on my Mac and pressing the Spacebar for QuickLook, but how are STP files viewed?

What is required to view *.ipt files?

@pff000 Could you shoot a photo zoomed out more so I can see if the displayed content is vertically centered, and so I can see how much of a black border surrounds the display area?

It would be wrong for changes to be made only for me, so I agree there needs to be feedback from other Apple IIc owners. Maybe @Javmast3r would like to chime in? Before any changes are made, it might be best for @ArjenCNX to test the compact A2VI adapter on his machine first (only if he wants...

That is a good question for @Kay K.M.Mods I don’t have an Apple III myself.

Wow. This is the first I've heard of that problem. The 128K through the Plus use essentially the same Analog Board, so it would potentially have implications for all of those machines. Even so, your report is the first I've heard of such a problem. And I've been in this hobby since about...

I also have Plamen's IIc to VGA adapter, and since my Eyoyo has VGA as well as HDMI, I could compare it with the A2DVI interface. The main issue I had with Plamen's adapter on the Eyoyo is that it wouldn't vertically center, and the displayed image was slightly smaller, versus the A2DVI...

There’s an even smaller version of the same exact thing made for the IIc that came out AFTER I acquired my setup: https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/announcing-the-a2cdvi-v2-5.4582/ That new compact version won't as a card inside a IIe (which is really what the card I have was made for), but...

@ArjenCNX All excellent info, especially the EBAY link. Thank you! One question... Would it be possible to shrink your bezel to fit the 10" LCD inside? I've not opened mine to know how much extends beyond the LCD itself. True, I am partly asking because I already have the 10" display...

Gentlemen, There are three points of concern: 1. The LCD used by @ArjenCNX measures 8 inches diagonal. The (fake?) Eyoyo I bought from AliExpress is 10 inches diagonal and therefore cannot fit inside his existing plastic case design. I just checked Amazon Japan for his 8" Eyoyo model S801H...

You haven’t measured voltage across the legs of the smoking capacitor, but you should because it must be over voltage that is causing it to smoke. If it was a matter of polarity being reversed, I would expect it to pop rather than just smoke. Unfortunately, if the smoke is indeed coming from...

I came across this impressive 100% transparent Apple "Hello" model today: https://facfox.com/case/art-case/sla-3d-printed-apple-liquid-glass-hello-ornament/ Here's one of the images from that web page: It probably would look fantastic if printed in JLC 8001 Transparent Resin, but alas there...

Hi, Daryl. Thanks for posting the video. Smoke is evidence of a serious problem. You have a "dead set" which is mentioned on page 109 and later in Larry Pina's book here: https://archive.org/details/macintoshrepairu0000pina/page/108/mode/2up If you flip through the next few pages you will...

The Clear case came out first and I found the tabs to be weak, but MacEffects strengthened them in a subsequent production run, and I confirmed that. The Black case was released after the Clear case and has the same thickened tab revision. So in the end, I can say I am pleased with both cases...
