    Macintosh Portable Power Supply CR-76U

    I did something similar for my PB1xx machines. However, be careful using that buck converter with the USB-C trigger board. It will supply the correct voltage, but it is not current limited the way the original power supply is (to 1.5A), so it can potentially feed more current than the Portable...

    Website for Mapping Serial Numbers to Apple Models

    OK, a side project with my InventoryDifferent inventory management system is to have a set of up-to-date, accurate templates for when I get a new device. Even better is to be able to quickly scan the serial number barcode on the device, and the app can look up the device model information and...

    Apple Lisa 3d Case Project

    My rationale for the 9.7" display is mainly that there is a ready supply of relatively cheap 4:3 displays. You could do what the guy recently did with his full size recreation, but it required him to buy a 15" 16:9 panel and use software to limit the display area, do resolution scaling, etc...

    Apple Lisa 3d Case Project

    Also, I started trying to see if I could come up with a nice mouse solution. I have 3d printed versions of the Lisa OG Mouse that were meant for a Mac 128k mouse guts. I'm working on a version that you can stuff the guts of a Logitech M185 into. I think I have the base completed, but...

    Apple Lisa 3d Case Project

    Yeah, I was going to try to expose the connectors as much as possible by making the LisaFPGA it's own case with buttons and openings for the switches on the top, and port openings on all 4 sides. I would try to create a way to mount it somewhat aesthetically to the back of the MiniLisa. It's...

    Apple Lisa 3d Case Project

    Yeah, It does have a floppy connector and can be used with floppyemu. I could replace it with an opening for the floppyEMU. My concern is that it would mess up the look of the original. I'd personally rather have a dummy floppy port, or one that provides access to the SD card for the...

    The Apple Lisa Inside an FPGA!

    Yes, let's not pollute this thread. I created a dedicated thread here: https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/apple-lisa-3d-case-project.5471/

    Apple Lisa 3d Case Project

    Starting a new thread to further discuss our options here. With the LisaFPGA project, I got the idea I would really love to be stuff the device inside a cool Lisa inspired case (3d printed. I'm no designer, but I got some good inspiration from my friendly AI assistant. Obviously the back...

    The Apple Lisa Inside an FPGA!

    This is awesome. I love that it’s essentially a direct replica just shortened due to the lack of CRT. I was torn on my rendered version because I liked the modern take on the vintage style. Slightly cleaner, which would help with the 3d printing. But not at story to the original. I also...

    The Apple Lisa Inside an FPGA!

    Yeah, I was planing on simply mounting the board to the back side of the case, but the challenge with the FPGA board is that it has ports on all 4 sides. I'm thinking of mounting it with the USB ports being exposed through openings on the bottom, the HDMI port being the opposite side wouldn't...

    The Apple Lisa Inside an FPGA!

    Got my board on order from @jcm-1! I was thinking about some of the other projects that have stuffed vintage (or modern) guts into new cases and started scheming with ChatGPT about ideas for a way to pay homage to the Lisa while enabling this modern hardware that Alex has created. This is the...

    Macintosh Mini - (yet another) Maclock conversion project

    I should have posted this sooner. I have 4 extra boards if anyone needs one. However, I'm about to be away from home for 3 weeks, so it will be a while before I can ship. I could also print the mounting frame for those who need it.

    InventoryDifferent - Managing your vintage device collection

    Another good catch. I actually created a better version using the latest image model from OpenAI that does a much better job of maintaining the original subject of the photo. I don't have a photo studio with good lighting, but wanted consistency, so I took my photos and generated the photos...

    InventoryDifferent - Managing your vintage device collection

    Nice catch! And fantastic research. Yeah, I probably pulled that from another source, but didn't verify. I've updated it to $5800 so I hopefully won't be spreading that number more than it already is. Thanks!

    Custom 9.7" Display (iPad 1,2,3) for Apple //c with STL files and build guide [Draft: work in progress]

    FYI, mine turned out pretty good. Had to make a new version to handle the much different button board and controller. The cutouts for the controller board ports aren't great, and I had to cut some a bit to make it work, but I'm not reprinting at this point, since it's essentially out of sight...

    Macintosh Mini - (yet another) Maclock conversion project

    Fantastic work. I actually just went through this. I suspect I may have gotten a fake Pi Zero 2 W from Amazon, because I had quite the adventure trying to get it to work. First, I was not able to get the 64-bit version of Pi OS Lite to boot on the machine. I fell back to the 32-bit Lite...

    SuperMac Supermatch 17 monitor missing pins

    Honestly I'm not sure what it's worth. I think I paid ~$50 for it so that's how much I'd charge, I just don't know about shipping it, given its size. I suspect shipping would be another $80-100, possibly more with packing materials for double boxing and ensuring it has adequate padding).

    SuperMac Supermatch 17 monitor missing pins

    Honestly, I’m trying to reduce my collection and the CRTs take up so much space. Where are you located? I’d be very nervous to ship a large CRT like this.

    InventoryDifferent - Managing your vintage device collection

    I use Portainer on top of the Synology Docker install, but I suspect something about how you deployed caused the "internal" network not to be set up. With my setup, I have exposed the web app, the storefront, the mcp server, and the API externally. However, that's only because I use the store...
