My lunch break is over. Here’s the result of my testing… QuickSANE test with SpeedCard

Unfortunately, their test seems to have consisted of only the card & SANE CP installed, without testing to see how math performance would differ with only the accelerator and NOT the CP installed. But perhaps the most interesting part of that article is this... Distorted sound plagues the...

@pocketscience I will give that app a try on the Levco SuperMac SpeedCard, which has the optional 68881 FPU, and let everyone know the result soon.

The mid-2015 15" MacBook Pro is a power-house! I still have mine. It takes WAY TOO LONG to export 4K video, let me tell you, but for everything else it is still amazing. Even so, I dislike the fans going full blast a lot of the time. You can't get away from that until you go with an M1 (now...

Care to swallow the Red Pill to learn what happened during testing of my hand-made SE Reloaded motherboard? I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Here. Take a look. I promise, by the time you're done watching it, you'll feel right as rain.

While watching that video, I felt like Mr. Spock when I exclaimed, "Fascinating!" And it really is. Folks, I wish to thank all of your for your kind ideas. Because I spent a huge amount of time getting HyperCard v2.3 to work, I stayed with that and just used Canvas 3.5.3 to covert the TIFF...

Holy cow! I am going to test that in Mini vMac now, and if it works, I will test it on the actual SE. Thank you! UPDATE: I found it works in Mini vMac under System 6 or 7 to open the PICT files you kindly provided. It's a pretty slick little app. However, your screenshot notwithstanding, I...

Not sure if this is a HyperCard v2.3 problem, but when I add the line "set cursor to watch" (just as a test) in the button script, when I click the button (which also hides the menubar), the cursor changes to watch and then back again so fast I almost cannot see the watch at all. I tried adding...

@Crutch I focused on TIFF because it is more compatible with old and new Macs than even GIF or JPG. MacPaint is best for old Macs, but modern Photoshop doesn't like it. Hence my use of TIFF (no layers, no compression -- just the basics). I spent a lot of time on the HyperCard solution, so I...

I don’t have a dedicated room for YouTube. I mostly film after hours at the office when everyone is gone home. Even then, I only have a couple hours to shoot. I have to take a lot of time to set everything up. Then I have to do the shoot and tear everything down. I also need to film the machine...

Actually, the Noctua 60x25mm replacement fans I use in the SE & SE/30 compact Macs is quieter than a regular 35cm floor fan on low. It's just that my LAV mic is unidirectional and quite sensitive. Thanks for the reminder. For some reason I had not been able to get it to work in the past. I...

Without the carrying case and without manuals too. Outrageous! https://www.ebay.com/itm/173193131954

In many ways, Japan has lost its way when it comes to tech. (The horrible weakening of the Yen this year is somewhat a part of that in terms of how investors in the currency market consider Japan's future prospects.) Japan's aversion to taking risks was a benefit to them during the bubble...

Because MacSD can be overclocked and also benefits from fast SD cards, the speed you get from it is quite impressive. BlueSCSI has improved its performance with every firmware update, and I am now testing the latest June update. MacSD is still faster, but only on 030 and faster Macs which can...

Actually, YMK made some brackets in the past called Air Boxes. He sent me some samples, actually. I've just not had time to revisit that.

I fixed the link in my previous post just now. Thanks. I was outside my home at the time. Such things happen quite often when I am on my iPhone. I really like my Macs much better when it comes to that. I can also type out long replies much easier on a keyboard than I can input text on my...

Or MacSD. I feel it only appropriate to point that out whenever BlueSCSI (a great product, by the way ) is mentioned not only to show that I am unbiased, but also as a nod to YMK, who is the rather brilliant creator of that pretty incredible little device. You may not know this, but MacSD has...

There is no need for a custom fan bracket in my case because all of my compact Macintosh machines have the standard bracket for the regular boxer fans. Those custom brackets are mainly for machines that have the older model squirrel cage fans.

Thanks, I just tried Select All in Canvas 3.5.3, Copy, and then Paste in HyperCard. Sadly, it pastes the graphic in the wrong position, and I have no idea how to center that in HyperCard. But even if I did know how to manually center the pasted image in HyperCard, doing that fiddly work for...

Very sorry for my delayed replied. I've been spending every waking free moment on my SE Reloaded video, but I wanted to make a little time this morning to review your case. You've done a lot. The only similar case I've ever had, doing all that in vain, was a case where a single cleaning of...
