    Loading Apple II games from your phone!

    Yeah, I can confirm it works on a phone. I actually built a native iOS app that allows you to browse the asciiexpress games and disks. The advantages of this over the mobile web versions of asciiexpress.net are: Easier browsing, I'll be adding a search / filter option Game art (when...

    Too many categories

    I definitely caught your emphasis. I think my response was that I find the subcategory by browsing them before I create a post, which helps with the issue. In my experience, of struggling through a long list of categories and sub-categories in the process of creating a post would be a...

    I'll start the thread with pic of my eMate in its glass case.

    Can't remember where you found the picture? Or do you actually have an orange eMate?

    Too many categories

    I think your points have merit, but having massive categories for every PPC mac would result in a large set of posts you have to sift through when maybe all you care about is g4/g5s. It’s about trade offs and ultimately you’re arguing for one set of trade offs versus others arguing for a...

    Where to Buy Prints

    Yeah, I went the cheap route and bought a off brand printer, and while I have got it to where I can print relatively reliably, it still takes a lot of tweaking, in addition to me adding things like a BL touch for bed leveling , a new print surface, and a Raspberry Pi running OctoPi. On the...

    Too many categories

    I've always navigated to the subcategory I'll be posting in before hitting post. Then there's no issue selecting from a really long list. I can also check to see if there is a similar post to what I'm discussing. Is there a reason you're posting a new thread from the root of the site?

    Apple 23" ADC Cinema Display Hinge and Kickstand Replacement

    Unfortunately the broken one is the only one I have.

    Apple 23" ADC Cinema Display Hinge and Kickstand Replacement

    It would be interesting to see if the kickstand from mine broke, or if the plastic kickstand was intact with the metal tab snapped off inside. I'm thinking the latter, by how that metal looked where it broke.

    Apple 23" ADC Cinema Display Hinge and Kickstand Replacement

    Unfortunately I didn’t have the tab or I’d have tried to JB weld that piece back on.

    Apple 23" ADC Cinema Display Hinge and Kickstand Replacement

    I recently got a Cinema Display from goodwill for $8 (+ $15 shipping) but it did not have a stand. I was hoping I could just use the leg from one of my 17" Cinema displays. Unfortunately, when it arrived I realized it wasn't just the leg that was missing, but the metal tab was actually...

    BlueSCSI - Open, Low Cost, DIY SCSI to SD device

    I'm pretty sure those jumpers are to enable or disable termination. https://github.com/xunker/BlueSCSI#termination

    LC575 Display Color issue - no red output (update: resolved with reflow of analog board connections)

    OK, second update. I was able to get the CC to boot after leaving it powered on (switch turned on without pressing the power button on the keyboard). While I still can't get my 7.1 disk with the System enabler on my BlueSCSI to be recognized, I can get it to show the "Welcome to Mac" screen...

    BlueSCSI - Open, Low Cost, DIY SCSI to SD device

    See my latest on other odd behavior. There's certainly some odd behavior with Basilisk's file dialog on the Mac. I've tried renaming some of the .hda files to .img and they can load fine in Basilisk. However, when I change them back to .hda I can no longer select them. Unlike some of the...

    BlueSCSI - Open, Low Cost, DIY SCSI to SD device

    Maybe a difference between windows and Mac version of Basilisk II. On my Mac version, when I go to the file browser and cannot select .hda files. Actually, it's looking like some sort of bug, because I just moved all my hard drive images to a separate folder (I was embarrassed at the state...

    LC575 Display Color issue - no red output (update: resolved with reflow of analog board connections)

    So things did not go well putting the 575 board in the Color Classic. After putting it in trying to boot, my color classic just makes a weak click with a blip of the power light. I had just started it up with the CC board and it booted fin (no HD, but got the no system disk icon). After...

    BlueSCSI - Open, Low Cost, DIY SCSI to SD device

    @eric , I seem to be missing something, but I can't seem to use .hda disk images in Basilisk II. Is there a trick to convert them to a .dsk or .img (or is it as simple as renaming the file?)? [EDIT] So it looks like maybe you just rename the file to be .img and it allows me to use it in...

    LC575 Display Color issue - no red output (update: resolved with reflow of analog board connections)

    Just picked up an LC 575 to use for my Mystic Color Classic upgrade. I was told it would power on but no image, so I thought maybe the analog board may be bad, which didn't concern me too much since I just want the logic board from it. However, when I got it home, I was pleasantly surprised to...

    Recapping the LC575 "Mystic" motherboard for the Color Classic

    @JDW As always, I'm terrible at trying to find alternative capacitors. Any you would recommend for the 100uF caps since they are on backorder?

    asciiexpress.net legality

    I posted a while back about the website ASCII for loading old games or generating new floppy disks. I really liked the idea, but found their mobile web interface to be a bit less than ideal. I actually threw together a native iOS app this evening, and while I need to tweak some of the UX, it's...

    What are your vintage grail items?

    This year I've crossed quite a few off my bucket list (SE/30, Color Classic, G4 cube, TAM, Newton 130 in original box, Powerbook 540c, clamshell iBook). Some were on the list because I had them, but most were computers I really wanted when they came out but couldn't afford. In terms of items...
