Another TinkerTale from the crypt resurfaces, but I'm playing with it a bit again after having shelved it for many years. HPV's not supported by the 6100 due to its length which interferes with the OEM 3.5" HDD,. This is no longer a factor in the SD age. I'd riginally planned to use a 2.5"...

Anothe one exhumed from the crypt, pics went away in the original thread: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/macintoshclassiciiicolortvp%E2%84%A2-hack.19802/

Couldn't find a general "Peripherals" forum, is there one and should this be moved there? I think it's time to flesh out what information is available on LEM and wherever else I can dredge it up. Tried to group by series rather than alphabetically. Spectrum/24 v. 1.0 - undocumented - Rev.A...

Outlined the plot for a horror flick over yonder and wondered about checking facts with gang in this forum: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/proposed-plot-for-a-horror-movie.41892/post-454354 Was there any form of bus level expansion before the NeXTcube was released?

Trying to get one of the G4s back up and running for AI playtime. Digital Audio/466-1GB 10.4.11 I'm a licensed user from AI88 up through AI10, but no longer worried about upgrading to anything up to the evil that is RentWare. I've never used OSX very much on purpose, but willing to try it out...

Ludicrous notion of the day! Sorry, I just can't help myself. Short story long, took a pic of my 1400c this morning and got to I wondering wondering how the Rudimentary Tablet next to it might work as a .TXT output display. First thought was stepper controlled by Raspberry Pi. Figured Apple II...

Was wondering if RPi or the like could push USB3 in and out of the rudimentary IDE interface of this series. DuckGo'd for available hardware and found this one that might be ready to roll? https://www.amazon.com/Converter-External-Universal-Function-Software/dp/B00EHDTRJ6 No Driver needed...

Crazy morning musing of the day. Ran across this information on open source hardware and software. https://www.3dsourced.com/rankings/best-diy-3d-scanner/ Scanning my IIfx, Q950 or at least the Radius 81/110 in one piece on a DIY would be epic. CC and smaller would be OK too. Limiting factor...

Came up with this one while not quite awake this morning and spent the rest of wakeup, morning musings over coffee thinking about it. So of course I spent my afternoon in paper/cardboard cutout mockup play. I've been told few can parse my .TXT descriptions, so was this a waste of time...

Has anyone got really high resolution scans of the parts? Never seen 'em. I've been playing with a 1400 PCMCIA cage/daughtercard to Duo HDD bay transplant about as long as the MLA has been around. Just occurred to me that the TREX ASIC would either be on the Blackbird module or would be...

Less sane fork of: https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/how-much-of-the-128k-512k-hardware-has-been-reverse-engineered.1630/ Mac Plus is the perfect platform for this insanity, who hasn't got one to spare? If you have two, but no spare, put 'em in a dark closet for a couple of months. :p How...

Wondering how far off "reloading" a board with reverse engineered hardware might be? Thinking in terms of a new build 128K/512K hybrid board that can go either way at boot, depending upon which side of the repurposed programmer's switch is held down. Has the Integrated Wozniak Machine been...

Found a couple of great links for Laptop KBD conversions: https://www.instructables.com/How-to-Make-a-USB-Laptop-Keyboard-Controller/ https://hackaday.com/2018/12/04/teensy-liberates-the-thinkpad-keyboard/ Conversion of some PowerBook KBDs are listed, but target is the PB1400 KBD, which hasn't...

. . . wasn't getting them and now my mailbox is being carpet bombed. :eek: Wasn't clear to me when I tried to tweak preferences yesterday, that's the first time I've looked to change anything, so I know I didn't initiate the bombing campaign.

This project has been several years in the works, but I've never had the Initial Release Macintosh II in hand. Thanks to a heads up from jeremywork over at the MLA, one is tracked to be arriving within the next 55 hours, but who's counting? This initial release of the DCaD series would be the...

I've got some crazy projects in the works ATM so I decided to start . . . whatever this turns out to be? Some tips will be very basic, some advanced, some garnered from source materials, experts and hard won experience leavened with some crazy creative problem solving over the years. I made...

Been hacking away at limitations of the IIsi for many years and it's time to revisit that project and expand it to other Macs: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/simmspender%E2%84%A2-iisi-memory-expansion-hack-reboot.29912/#post-327163 LCIII memory expansion now underway by @max1zzz...

Technology available to us for tinkering has advanced by leaps and bounds since the G4 era. Mac hacking and most any other kind of tinkering has benefited so very much from advances in 2D and 3D CAD/CAM since I made the move from the Big Apple to the Bermuda Triangle of NC. So much has happened...

I've mentioned the flood that ruined all the carpet in my ground floor apartment here and there. In the show your desk thread I documented some of the in process changes to what remained of the setup. Here's the low rent rebuild, sans the nice seven foot bookcases that supported what I'm...

I've been mentioning this concept here and there for a month or two, but finally put together the start of a thread. Baseline Radius MagicBus Adapter for non-accelerated SE with TPD card: Pencil lines denote config of full size opening in chassis. MagicBus integrated in Radius 16...
