    Dedicated tinkering space (soldering and other)

    First tweak: can you and the kids live with gameplay on flatscreen? Something on the order of my 22"x38"/42" panel could be mounted to the bottom side of the the flip down worktop. I'd build a frame for it hinged to a lip at the top. Pinned in place you'd have kneeroom lackinig in your...

    Dedicated tinkering space (soldering and other)

    I've had a thing for drop down desktop tinkering since I found this piece at goodwill many years back. Building the complete unit would be possible. Building only the dropdown desk section out of plywood parts cut at your local Big Box would be easily done for anyone comfortable using a drill...

    A Classic II/LC III laptop/book….

    Gotcha. One question about your design comes to mind. The chamfer along the bottom at front edge looks like it won't work for a mechanical switch KBD. I don't recall that feature on any of the frog studies. Rubber domes were not available to frog design in the timeframe of Hartmut's work at...

    Adobe Illustrator - Latest RENT FREE version for Tiger?

    Thanks, Aren't the suites rentware? Not a Photoshop user, so AI activation code won't work for a suite. Gotta be standalone AI. Was there a standalone version after AI10? edit: 466 is a legacy treasure, I've got QS and MDD/OS9 Special Edition. Former needs work and haven't been able to get OS9...

    Reproduction RAM cards for Mac Portable

    Cool, I'd been wondering about raiding PSRAM from some of the cards I have for PowerBooks. Might 4-8MB worth of the chips harvested from a fairly low capacity 1400 card work? 5126 possible, 5120 not? Luggable is at 4MB now, so haven't thought about it a lot. No 5126 in collection, sigh.

    Adobe Illustrator - Latest RENT FREE version for Tiger?

    Trying to get one of the G4s back up and running for AI playtime. Digital Audio/466-1GB 10.4.11 I'm a licensed user from AI88 up through AI10, but no longer worried about upgrading to anything up to the evil that is RentWare. I've never used OSX very much on purpose, but willing to try it out...

    ThinkC [Study Group 0] Getting your Development Environment Setup & Hello, World!

    Was just curious about the choice of language, but learning a lot just from the historical perspective discussion relating to the question!

    ThinkC [Study Group 0] Getting your Development Environment Setup & Hello, World!

    Not a code kinda guy outside of Basic and batch programming that's late 80s to mid-90s out of date. Just along for the ride, as much as I can understand it anyway. Great stuff, thanks! I was figuring the answer might be that learning C is applicable across the board in a more modern world than...

    A Classic II/LC III laptop/book….

    Thanks much, had a bdd time of it last night again and appreciate your patience. The changup from original concept took me very much by surprise. Absolutely. Trying to be useful, the editorial commentary on frog designs I can tone down, but I think it quite relevant to figure out where they...

    ThinkC [Study Group 0] Getting your Development Environment Setup & Hello, World!

    Very cool stuff here! Just one question, why not Pascal or Apple Pascal as that was the development environment in the early days, no?

    A Classic II/LC III laptop/book….

    With the Modularization of FDD assembly, parts count increased. Take note of the lack of cursor keys on the Macintosh oriented studies, yet another of SJ's more idiotic notions for the Mac and its dumbed down user interface which intentionally forced use the mouse for navigation. I won't get...

    A Classic II/LC III laptop/book….

    Note the stepped planes of KBD, thicker mid-section and modularized, inset FDD module. The profile lines are broken up very nicely in the BlackBook. The current rev. is slab sided, has a thinner (too thin for LCIII?) midsection with that chamfered front edge. Thicker lid also fends off the...

    Interware SE/30 accelerator

    I think @max1zzz had someone drop off the 40MHz version? There's discussion about it (but no development thread as yet) over at the MLA? What I'm most curious about would be the possibility of topping InterwareX0 off with an unmodified Asante NIC? Fitment for installing RCPII/si horizontally...

    Interware SE/30 accelerator

    Nice, gotta love an accelerator for the '30 with a PDS Passthru. My P33 doesn't have that and needs an adapter . . . but it does have cache. Can't wait to see benchmarks.

    Another dual PDS Adapter for SE/30? 🤔 (PDS only, no cache connector)

    My SE/30 is cranky about any non-standard ROM card, but I don't think I've ever tried my stock IIfx ROM in it. That would probably work fine, PCB should be same spec. as SE/30. @Zane Kaminski have PCB thickness issues been put to bed by now?

    A Classic II/LC III laptop/book….

    What happened to the mid-level step under the handle, raised KBD level and LCD buildup to match it from your p.1 concept? To me, it's far more striking from any viewpoint, but in profile there is no comparison. I think it looks like a 12 year old Tadpole wannabe tried to take Snow White...

    Favorite kitchen Doo-dads & gadgets.

    MMMM, cool, what kind of beans with that? :unsure: I've seen Hannibal's, it's easy to tell the difference. His has this cast accessory fitting: Where mine has the 4" Industrial Dust Pickup in galvanized sheet metal. Look ma, no fingers?

    Another dual PDS Adapter for SE/30? 🤔 (PDS only, no cache connector)

    You can try feeding the thing +12V on a different line. Zapping SIZ0 apparently doesn't do the trick.

    Favorite kitchen Doo-dads & gadgets.

    That's down home, gritty stuff from a sawmill that's at home on a country music dance floor. It takes a very large, thick, hook tooth blade for a bandsaw mill to make that stuff. Heck that gets filtered out by nose hair! Even with a resaw blade of that type I still need to wear a dust mask. :p...
