    macintosh plus video issue that i think i definitely know the cause of

    Almost certainly a cold solder joint crack on the underside one of the J connectors that brings power or the circular joints where the flyback is. Inspect carefully under magnification and see the crack, and the best way is to remove most of the old solder of a joint before putting in fresh one...

    Happy Birthday (40!) Macintosh! (made an animated card in C)

    I coded my own 40th birthday card for my Mac Plus in C - the goal is to make it work on a Mac 128 eventually! It is *NOT* easy to do after trying it out in emulation for a few hours last night. In terms of data, I'm only using a full screen PICT (so about 22kb) and my YT channel logo which has...

    My little guide on RGBTOHDMI installed on Classic, Plus, etc.

    Unless I'm mistaken, the J7 cable between the logic and analog board is pretty much the same in the 512 as the Plus. https://www.digibarn.com/collections/diagrams/mac-512klogicboard/mac-logic-schematic.jpg

    Foenix 256 Jr and K

    Perifractic released a video 2 days ago on the F256K, framing its whole situation very well- chicken and the egg syndrome with devs and amount of programs made for it. He loves the machine and wants to increase exposure to it to alleviate the unfair advantage of the Commander X-16

    Hey there from California

    The SE/30 is an excellent choice. Have you gone down the rabbit hole of recapping at least its logic board? Taken out the battery before it spills and corrodes the board? I've recently added wires to mine from a connector to split the video signal out, sent it to a RGBtoHDMI and can now stream...

    [PicoGUS] rp2040 based ISA card as drop in replacement for GUS

    A 1.0.0 firmware was just released! If you're onto the v2 hardware track, you'll get joystick support! Wavetable support! (I don't really need those because my physical SB16 provides those if I want them). But one thing that immediately benefits me is that I no longer have to cross my fingers...
