Just noticed that my button to on the bottom right is not doing anything. I need to do some continuity tests I guess. Something isn't right, because I thought that button is supposed to do a shutdown, right? The other one reboots the Mac emu just fine.

The script ran perfectly, I assume, while I did other things. When I came back the SSH had disconnected but I could see messages that it had finished. The little Mini Mac was flashing "?" which means it worked! I have a dummy disk image. I was able to mount a network drive and copied over a...

@wells or @wottle, any chance you have advice about SCP failing with --stalled when trying to transfer my disk image? I am running the script now, but I know it will fail when it finally tries to boot because I had to fake it with a dummy disk image file. I am using the easy to find...

@wells thanks for confirming the display issues. Pressure definitely affects things, though I would be surprised that horizontal stress into the glass from the edges would have any effect at all. If I press into the corner with a fingertip in the corner directly behind the color aberration I can...

Having taken up @wottle on his offer above, I am also on my way with this project using @wells board. I'll post a photo or two when I get a chance, but so far, here are some thoughts: We need more instructions about how to get the Maclock case open without damaging it! Separating the case was...

Here is a brief update for anyone who is considering using the Bambu kit. . . I found that with a good print, the model I used above comes together nicely at first, but you need to be careful with the wheel supports so as not to break them. Then, once assembled, there is some flex of the board...

Oh, nice timing I guess. That Lisa case project would be a nice match. Very cool!

By the way, the kit is a true 3 button mouse, with FOUR buttons, actually. There's left, right, and center (that small little square behind the scroll wheel is a tiny middle button). The wheel itself has the spindle inside a rotary component on one side and the axle rides over a larger diameter...

Finally printed a vintage Mac mouse designed for the Bambu Mouse 002 kit. The kit is avaialble in the Bambu shop. It is cheap and it is a pretty nice setup with the internals of an optical wireless mouse, USB dongle, power switch cover, battery terminals and wiring, and even a set of screws...

That’s what I was thinking too. I may give that a try later. Thanks!

Haven’t seen anyone mention this (haven’t specifically searched yet), but I see GlobalTalk zones from the eMate! Not sure what else I can do with AppleTalk from a Newton device, but it works (via PhoneNET connectors). Kinda neat. I guess I could sync from my eMate to halfway around the world!

I just posted messages about getting GlobalTalk working on my SE/30 over on Discord, and while I might not normally cross-post here too, I figured there might be someone struggling through the same simple problem I was running into. The issue was this: AIR configured properly on an SE/30...

Thanks for confirming! Any chance you have the file(s)?

Ok, I really appreciate the attention everyone is giving this. Seriously, it’s great to see this community come together to feed nostalgia and troubleshoot something so absurd! I cannot ask for any more than this—you have collectively answered my question and I thank you for that! I contend that...

It seems like a good idea, and I did try it—still just a flash and nothing. I am definitely starting to question my own recollection of the system I used. I maintained that it just HAD to be on a Mac Plus, but in 1994, there may be a chance I saw it on a Quadra 660AV. I know, that changes a...

Hmm. Well, I think this must be a knock off, or the one I am thinking of was a knockoff. I dunno why I first tried it with system 8.1 since that was obviously outside my own timing parameters. Yet, in spite of trying more appropriate versions of MacOS, I can’t get it to work. I can get it to...

Tried it on Infinite Mac, running 8.1, AD 2 works fine on that system, but this module doesn’t appear. AD 3 it does appear but actually none of the AD screensavers works. I am sure I will eventually find a working combo virtual or real hardware, but the missing audio is a bummer. However, this...

OH YES! Thanks so much. Going to give it a try now!

It‘s worth mentioning that I have already spent time searching info-mac and other archives and even employed the help of AI to try to track this down. In the end, I figure my best shot is finding someone who saw this and squirreled away a copy.
