    Mechanical issue with Miniscribe

    best of lluck! I have one from my SE and I couldn’t make it happy. I ended up jiggering up a raspberry pi with a motor controller and GPIO’ing to my BlueSCSI’s activity LED pin and wrote a little program that would just drive the miniscribe motor to spin some whenever the LED activity light...

    Best way to authentically emulate s3/30 on my modern mac?

    Ah i feel like a total goober but I replied a few times to the linked thread instead of here — but tldr : Spot on guys — I was getting about 2fps on my real se/30 and am getting what seems like the same thing from Snow!.

    ROMs for Snow

    Best way to authentically emulate s3/30 on my modern mac?

    I hope this is the right forum for this — if not, fire a few shots accross the bow and I”ll go elsewhre :D I’m away from my se/30 for a bit and want to faithfully emulate an SE/30 (performance or relative performance if possible) because I’m developing something where its performance is pretty...

    Vintage Compact Macs in TV & Movies

    Apple had a big presence in the movies in the 90s. I recall reading it was part of their marketing strategy. It didn’t keep them from nearly going under but it did get them staring roles in movies. Often coupled with Apple ads that used the movies Mission impossible Independence Day (the ad...
