Thanks for the feedback! It's on the list for us to look into. (y)

Hi everyone, Just a quick admin update here. This thread has been absolutely AMAZING! (y) I can't believe the amount of replies, views, and progress it has gotten over the past ~2 years... it's simply wild! However, I realize that digging through 44 pages of updates is probably not the best...

Hi everyone, I recently archived some unique Mac OS for CHRP discs (Archive.org link / Macintosh Garden). I wanted to create this thread as a place to discuss these discs and anything related to them, such as people trying them out on different systems, etc. CHRP (Common Hardware Reference...

I just installed a copy of Microsoft Word 5.1a via InfiniteMac / Macintosh Garden... sadly the sample documents provided didn't have anything as entertaining as you mentioned. :( However, maybe it was in the printed manual? The Garden has some PDFs of manuals (see the blue section below the...

Update! A second release, v0.9b has been released! 🎉 This revised PDF is now attached to the 1st post. Thank you everyone for all the feedback and comments. ❤️ I'm so glad this guide is already coming in handy for so many people. Changes in this version include: Fixed typos and cleaned up...

This is awesome, amazing group effort - can't wait to see what is possible! 👏

Thanks for the photos, it was a fun time at the swap meet! Perfect October weather... Yes I saw the Pioneer, that seller sold me one of their other LD players to match my Pioneer clone. I need to finish my follow-up video on that.

The maximum bitrate the hardware can sustain is a limitation of the hardware of the device, specifically the system chipset and limited memory of the unit. A better lens can provide more detail, which effects the variable bitrate used when capturing images, but the hardware limit of a max...

Thank you everyone for the kind words! I’m super glad people are finding this useful and valuable! ❤️ I hope to release a fast follow update this weekend that corrects some typos, adds some additional links/videos/tools, and cleans things up a bit… thanks again for the positive response. 👍

Hello everyone, This has been a long time coming... presenting the Macintosh SE/30 Vertical & Horizontal Bars on Display "Simasima" Repair Guide!! 🎉 This is a FREE downloadable PDF document (~55 MB) filled with high-resolution pictures and technical details. You can find this PDF file...

Hey everyone, I'd like to share a quick project I did recently and share the files and journey in case anyone else wants to try something similar. In short, I added a BIG keyboard button to the top of a remote control to make the "voice control" button way easier to push for my father-in-law...

Thank you for the information, I certainly appreciate it and that's great to know. No worries about shipping, hopefully I'll find one nearby one day. BTW, I think the "ReadLisa" application is supposed to let you read text from inside certain LisaWrite and similar office application documents...

Wow, that's great! (y) I wonder if mine has deleted files on it, but maybe not. I don't have a Gesswein's MFM emulator, and it's a bit of an expensive purchase to try it just for this project. Did you need to configure the emulator in a certain way to read the disk? That's great it was able to...

Ah, got it! Sorry I may have misunderstood. You are in no danger to reflash firmware files. Even if it's not 100% compatible, I haven't harmed any of my decides by flashing "incorrect" firmware to it. I simply re-try another. Since at least your device has worked with one of them before, there...

Hi Federico, thanks for posting. As explained in a recent post above, the serial number lookup tool I made was sourced from the data on Kodak's (now offline as of mid-2024) firmware update website. It's quite simple in it's function. Similar to the Kodak site, it contained a long, long list of...
