I have an accessories category, but the database makes it easy to add a new category for cables. Unfortunately, it would include a lot of information likely irrelevant for cables (last power on date, manufacturer part number, etc). I don’t even have all my keyboards and mice cataloged because...

That’s what I’ve built. Without login, others can view a subset of the information. After logging in, you can add/edit devices, add/remove images and comments, etc. but to do that you need a server in the middle to manage the authn/authz needs. So I built the API server layer.

I will say, I have used AI models for trying to generate images and icons of vintage Macs and it has not gone well. If you find one that does it well, let me know.

I considered the simplicity of a static web site. It has a lot of of advantages - less complexity, simpler set up and maintenance, ability to access on older machines for consumption. It does offer limitations that I personally didn’t want to have - inability to dynamically create entries...

OK, if I have time over the next couple of weeks, I may go back and look into how easily I could package it all up. I think I wasn't sure how to setup the initial database tables in docker, so I'd need to figure that out. Also, how to parameterize some of the stuff, like the database...

I'll have to look at how easy it would be to package it up for someone else to use. Do you have a device that can run docker containers?

And black keyboard. Also hard to find. Sucks about the logic board, but there are some good alternatives that just lose you the tuner capabilities

Seems like the logic board is good. Threw it in my 512k and plugged in FloppyEMU and it booted fine. As expected, it is showing 512k memory. If I undo the mods, will it go back to 128k memory even though the bigger chips have been installed in the sockets for the memory? Or will the larger...

After looking over the analog board and the logic board, nothing looked bad so I tried to power it on. Unfortunately, the PSU clicks. I assume like new machines that implied maybe something on the logic board is shorting? I believe I have an analog board recap kit for the 128k/512k. I...

OK, I did a little more googling and it looks like this is what was considered a FatMac upgrade? https://ameblo.jp/keroxiee1016/entry-12803881976.html Fortunately, all the RAM chips appear to be socketed, so I could go back to 128k, is I can get 16 working chips. Given the rarity of stock...

So, despite my temporary pause on acquiring new machines because of the massive pile of filthy macs in my workshop, what appeared to be a Mac 128k popped up on FB marketplace and I decided to pull the trigger since the price was good. However, since I don’t think you can actually tell in...

A little auto body shop filth never hurt anyone, right? Right?!?

So, while waiting on my PCBs for my HDI-45 adapters, I loved onto the next batch that seemed to be in decent shape, a pair of IIci and a pair of IIcx machines. Unfortunately, one of the Iicx machines was battery bombed, so I'll have to see what I can salvage from it (I've already pulled the...

Had some things I needed to order so I added some connectors into my Digikey order. Hopefully will be here next week and I can make the cable and test it.

Makes sense. Hopefully not flashing the firmware too often. And for context, I just have done something incorrect when trying to use my own parts for the JST connectors on JLCPCB because when the boards helped up, everything was populated (including the LEDs that I swapped in because they were...

So, I had some back and forth with JLCPCB trying to see how strict they would be with the logo. I tried to use a slightly different Apple logo with a smaller bite taken out, hoping I could use the excuse that it was not THE Apple Logo. They still did not allow it. I came up with two options...

So the are all the pins connected on the outside of the Pico? Does that mean my mis-ordered batch that don't have the JST connector will be fine without it?

Sure. I don't have the connectors yet, so it may be a while before I get the cables made., if that's OK. I try to batch up my Digikey / Mouser orders to make the shipping less painful.

Which version are you looking for? I have 4 of the internal and 5 of the external. Adding up my costs, the boards, fully assembled were $13 each. The ESP32s were $6.50 each. I'd be willing to give them to you at cost, so $20 each? Plus whatever shipping ends up being. Where are you...

I have some as well. I just swapped out my Cameo/Aphid for one because I never liked having to have a UISB cable running out the back. I did print a cover that made it more palatable, but the full internal connection, and the alignment of the activity LED, as well as the cost makes it an...
