I was looking at FB Marketplace for anything interesting and came across a Lisa. The price is too high, but what really struck me is the video showing it powered on and working. The CRT seems to have an issue where the viewable area on the screen is limited to a circle (cut off at the top and...

Yeah, I've considered just running mine as a service and offering account and segmenting every user's information, but there's simply too much of a challenge with storing images for users. First, there's the storage costs - My collection of 290 devices is using ~4GB of storage. My NAS couldn't...

I posted recently about my inventory management system which I re-wrote in a pretty short time, heavily with the help of Claude Code. I would not have had the time to produce what I did because it would have taken me months to years of all my free time to produce what I did. But it seems like...

Yeah, it was largely decorative so didn’t have to worry about the weight / impact of sitting down on it all the time, but I suspect a proper thickness board between the leg and the case would keep it from bucking. As for the shelving, I considered stacking to make my shelving out of it, but...

Ha. It was made as a bench, with cedar planks, joined together in the edges, routed to fit the handles of the G5’s. However, it is currently being used to store additional devices and books in my collection.

I know it's been a while but I rebuilt things from the ground up as my Marchintosh project. I added some features that I know some people are going to hate (AI generated product images, a LLM backed chatbot that you can ask about your collection), but the AI features, as well as the shop...

I've stopped using sunlight and peroxide for retrobrighting after a couple of streaky results. My guess is that the sunlight can dry out the peroxide creme and it can affect the lightening process making it too strong in some areas and too weak in others. The sun's UV rays and heat simply make...

I’ve not had that happen in any of my testing. Does yours have the gray plastic pin guide down in the connector? I’ll try to do some testing of my units I have here with and without the pin guide and see if I can recreate the issue and see if the pin guide helps or hurts. If you have one...

I was trying to get out in front of assembling the next batch for @jcm-1 and my HDI-45 port I was using to hold pins during assembly is pretty worn out and the pins aren't staying put like they used to. I also could never get it to install all 5 rows at once, which slowed assembly. I then...

OK, so the full color resin prints came in. They're good, but might be better with some adjustments. The gloss finish really softens the edges so iy doesn't have the sharpness of the original logo. The matte one retains the crispness of the angles, but doesn't match the gloss of the original...

Yeah, I only have 8MB in mine. Really hoping someone comes up with a solution, because the solutions I've found either have no documentation or the parts needed are essentially unobtainable.

OK, I found the reason for the slowness. It appears to be due to the ZuluSCSI or SD card in it. I copied the same HD image over to a BlueSCSI and it is night and day. I suspect fragmentation on the SD card as a possible issue. I formatted the SD card and copied the HD image back on using the...

So, I just recapped the logic board (it looked like someone had recapped, but the surface mount caps were poorly done, and I wanted to get some OS-CON caps in it for longevity. It looks like maybe this machine had an engineering sample installed? Is it possible that this was a reason it...

It doesn't appear a 605 would support the card. At the very least, the opening for a network card isn't large enough for the card connectors, so the back plate would need to be cut out.

I want to, but I'm having some sever performance problems. It's way slower than my NeXT Station, which is the same 25MHz 040... I'm going to recap the logic board when I have time and take a look at the ZuluSCSI to make sure it is set up properly.

After about 6 back and forth interactions with the very patient support person at JLC3DP, I finally got a printable, full color model that they were willing to try to print. It's a bit thicker than the original, but it meets their requirement of prints being at least 1mm thick. The order is...

It's been on the top of my wanted list for some time. I've been selling a decent number of items from my collection and decided I had sold enough that if an opportunity came up to purchase one at a not unreasonable price, I'd finally pull the trigger. Well, I bought on earlier this week and it...

Yeah, I believe they have been delivered and he should have some for sale. Not sure how his website manages inventory, but I suspect you’ll be able to buy shortly. If not let me know and I could assemble one for you. I have a fresh batch of 2mm spacing extra long pins, as well as a stack of...

I did notice that on a second Mac II I ended up getting. The odd thing is that Apple didn’t continue that on the IIfx. If it was that important, it feels like they would have changed it going forward. A side note on my machine that was having issues, I ended up selling recently but before I...

Man, I wish I had found that before. I had a similar experience with a Mac II (I thought it was completely dead, but it turned out to be a bad speaker so I couldn't hear the boot chime). Also, a bad graphics card meant no video... If you are OK with a les original option, I created this...
