    Custom USB-C powered 8"display for the Apple IIc with STL files and build plan

    It’s also important to consider that the 8 inch Eyoyo model (TFT) appears to be 800 x 600 resolution, whereas the knockoff 10 inch version that I have (IPS) is 1024 x 768 resolution.

    Macintosh Portable: "pop" noise every 10s from Speaker & Headphones

    Today, I came across this very interesting post by @David Cook where he attached his patched edition of System 6.0.8L that works on many 68K Macs it otherwise doesn't support. I confirmed David's patched version boots my Macintosh Portable 5126 and the backlight works, but I still get the pop...

    Well, I'm not sure what the exact problem is, but thank you for joining us here on TinkerDifferent. I hope you enjoy the forum!

    Custom USB-C powered 8"display for the Apple IIc with STL files and build plan

    So you didn't buy from the EBAY seller and instead bought it from an "Asian web shop"? The reason I ask is because that EBAY seller only wants to sell to the USA... He advertises it as being an "IPS" display. The lower cost version on AliExpress that looks exactly the same (if the photos...

    What I've received as of late...

    Thanks for sharing that photo. I always loved the easy to see orange color scheme of the 48SX.

    BlueSCSI on Macintosh Portable

    Has that SCSI driver VERSION issue been proven? I only realized today that my BlueSCSI v2 is using a Disk Jockey created image, and Disk Jockey locks the driver to 7.3.5 even when making a Portable-specific image as shown below... @Paolo B , @SuperSVGA & @Sideburn , any issues running a...

    3D Printing & MacEffects Appreciation

    Thank you for that confirmation. And just to add one detail... The clear MacEffects speaker looks great in the clear case, but because it is 8Ω and not 63Ω like the stock speaker, the maximum volume level of the clear speaker is lower than the stock speaker. The amplifier can't supply...

    TPU is a tad more soft and certainly more squishy than PLA and other filament types, but is firm like hard rubber. Are you deliberately using TPU for a speaker gasket because it offers vibration damping and makes the sound from the speaker better? (Which is why you chose it over 100% transparent...

    PSU for SE & SE/30 trips breaker on 240VAC?

    I received a question from a YouTube viewer about his recapped PSU for the SE & SE/30. He said that he tried to test the output voltages in the NO LOAD condition (disconnected from the Mac), and it trips his breaker every time he flips on the power switch. He said when the PSU is connected to...

    Aquafox browser for OSX Leopard and Tiger updated to v3.0!

    That’s awesome to hear. Are there any commonly visited sites you are not able to view properly?

    @jmacz To say you're awesome is the understatement of the year. BRAVO!

    3D Printing & MacEffects Appreciation

    Hmmm.... The Mac version doesn't want to let me import STP... If you cannot create an STL file (which all modern Macs support on the OS level), then perhaps you could post it to Printables, since that site has a built-in viewer, as you can see in this example...

    I can open and rotate STL files merely by selecting the file on my Mac and pressing the Spacebar for QuickLook, but how are STP files viewed?

    What's the best Video solution for a Vintage Apple IIe in 2025?

    @pff000 Could you shoot a photo zoomed out more so I can see if the displayed content is vertically centered, and so I can see how much of a black border surrounds the display area?

    Custom USB-C powered 8"display for the Apple IIc with STL files and build plan

    It would be wrong for changes to be made only for me, so I agree there needs to be feedback from other Apple IIc owners. Maybe @Javmast3r would like to chime in? Before any changes are made, it might be best for @ArjenCNX to test the compact A2VI adapter on his machine first (only if he wants...

    A Terrifying Phenomenon I Discovered While Repairing an Analog Board

    Wow. This is the first I've heard of that problem. The 128K through the Plus use essentially the same Analog Board, so it would potentially have implications for all of those machines. Even so, your report is the first I've heard of such a problem. And I've been in this hobby since about...

    Custom USB-C powered 8"display for the Apple IIc with STL files and build plan

    I also have Plamen's IIc to VGA adapter, and since my Eyoyo has VGA as well as HDMI, I could compare it with the A2DVI interface. The main issue I had with Plamen's adapter on the Eyoyo is that it wouldn't vertically center, and the displayed image was slightly smaller, versus the A2DVI...
