No, I had not done that because I am a terribly naughty boy. 😅 But now that I have done that, thanks to your kind advice, it's working on my M1 Max 16" MBP!

Completely forgot about this thread until today, sorry. I just downloaded CP2Mac107.zip, decompressed it, then tried to launch the app on my M1 Max 16" MBP running macOS Sequoia 15.5. It won't launch. Not surprised at all because it's WINE-based. If anything, I was trying to figure out how...

Note sure how "repairable" the IIe Card is, but mine had leaky caps and I cleaned and swapped them out and had no issues, but mine wasn't damaged like yours. No broken traces or eaten through feet on mine at all. Screen capture from my IIe Card video shows the larger XTAL (full-sized can) to...

With its 040 processor and design differences, the 575 board will draw more current than the stock motherboard. So if you have power supply issues resulting in low voltage, it would make logical sense that the stock board may work while the 575 wouldn't.

I myself have not encountered any "decaying LEDs" in optocouplers I've used in terms of them no longer working. However, because they are light-based, they do require a fair amount of current — almost always at least 5mA. The lower the current fed into them, the lower the brightness of that...

Oh my! The holy grail of Mystic BACK PANELS! Wow. To help spread the word, I added a pinned comment under my FlippyFloppy video that links to this thread. I also added a link in the REFERENCE section of my LC575 Back Panel Conversion video too. I really love you have so much usefulness in...

I myself have no idea if a corroded optocoupler would be the source of your trouble. The reason I do not know is because I have only ever owned a single Color Classic, and I didn't have much trouble with it. However, ALL THE CAPS (including the 1uF ones) were recapped when I got it, so that no...

@David Cook That was a very touching tribute to Bill Atkinson, and I wish to thank you very much for sharing that. Not understanding what you were talking about regarding "regions," I instructed ChatGPT to analyze your post, then find the source code you were referring to, and then explain a...

More specifically... For those of you who haven't seen the General Magic movie, here's the trailer: For Atkinson and Hertzfeld, the end result of their product work at General Magic was somewhat of a failure. The arrival of the internet spelled its demise. But many of the brilliant minds...

It is indeed still expensive to have molds made, and getting it done right isn’t easy either, which is why I recommended Nick speak to MacEffects for some tips. MacEffects has a lot of experience in that area with their SE and Apple II clear cases. I have no idea what will happen but the...

Folks, I never expected to be mentioning the passing of the beloved Macintosh creator, Bill Atkinson, at this early stage, but his family posted his passing today on FaceBook here. He was still a quite young 74-years-old. It goes without saying that Bill was the heart and soul of the vintage...

Welcome to TinkerDifferent, Emiel. We’re glad you opted to join us, and I look forward to interacting with you here.

I did not add my pre-order last night only because there are two pieces of fine print folks need to ponder: 1. The battery holder is a separate purchase (not a big deal for me, but remember you need to add that to your cart separately). 2. The speaker module that makes a power-on beep sound is...

I think this is some really excellent dialog and I’d like to add one more observation here. I suspect a good number of people are going come along and read this thread and then 3-D print a SIMM box with whatever filament they determined from this thread to be the most antistatic. But “most...

I truly wish I had the answer for you, but I unfortunately do not. I can only guess it must be something more than just a questionable POT. Did you examine the Analog Board for burned parts? There are a couple diodes that often leave black spots. Some parts on the analog board get so...

Welcome to TinkerDifferent! I'm optimistic you'll feel right at home here. I'm a bit like you. While I'm not afraid to post on a variety of platforms like FaceBook and Reddit, I still prefer a traditional forum like this most of all. I look forward to seeing your future posts and hope...

僕はアメリカで生まれましたが、過去30年間ずっと日本で暮らしています。ですので、あまりお役に立てないかもしれません。でも、このスレッドで他の方の意見もぜひ聞けたらと思っています。今のところ、僕たち二人だけのやり取りになっていますね。😅

Thanks, @Javmast3r ! I visited the website and took note of the following: It's a VIRTUAL (online) event this year. (I consider that kind of neat for folks who otherwise can't fly to the US for it.) Registration costs $20 The official FAQ is here. (References to "hotel" obviously don't apply...

@nekogahora280 Forum member @jmacz does incredible restoration work, as you can see from his BEFORE/AFTER photos below: image source Here are more details about how he accomplished the above. He might have some tips for you about restoring your own severely damaged plastic case. That would...

@Nycturne How do you store your RAM/ROM/VRAM SIMMs, currently?
