    Hey @MindThreat, I think our fearless Xenforo master @fogWraith fixed this. Would you like to test it out and confirm?

    This has been updated from 420 (ayeee) to 30,000 characters. Can you let me know if this update alone makes profile posts more viable for blogging?

    Got it, I'll bring it up with the other board members and see if there's room to adjust the character limit.

    Help diagnosing a Mac Plus

    Just my $0.02 but I think 0.5v is a bit too low. I still think you should visit the voltage adjustment pot on R45 (or R51? I forget, google is good). You want your 12v line to be closer to 12v without your 5v line exceeding 5v. I'm not shocked that your floppy drive doesn't work great but it is...

    Help diagnosing a Mac Plus

    A few thoughts, this is not medical or legal advice and should not be considered investment guidance: You are missing the checkered background on your happy mac and it makes me think there's a a RAM issue. Try with no RAM or 1 bank of RAM. You will need to adjust your resistor. You can swap...

    Mac 128k/512k/Plus Logic Board Cable to ATX (Video + Audio)

    I do a little bit of work on compact mac logic boards and found I needed a convenient way to power them up and get video without fussing with a case, so I made this adapter which allows me to use an ATX power supply and an RGBtoHDMI. Referring to the schematics for the 512k, you will see the...

    SuperDrive (floppy) maintenance

    Thanks for linking, @alxlab. For anyone in North America, @Drake may have a few left from his 3D printing test; they came out in amazing quality: Left is my design from Drake's 3D printer, right is the original Apple gear. The gears from Shapeways work just fine but they are not as high...

    Reverse PAL / GAL Truth Tables

    A few of members are already familiar with truth tables and reversing PAL / GAL chips. If you're among the less familiar, these are chips with several inputs and several outputs. The output is dependent on the combination of input signals to individual pins — all of which can be customized. This...

    Compact Mac's feet project

    Very nice! A small bench-top injection mold machine might be sufficient in combination with a small custom mold (could be 3D printed): I've done similar small batch production for Garmin mounts using RTV silicone molds.

    Good TFT for a 512K case ?

    I can't speak for the quality of the Thingiverse you linked to, I have never printed it. But I can guarantee this one will fit perfect — I spent 5 years working on it off and on.

    Mini Mac Plus Pi Case

    @dogcow would say... Here's a link to this great article he wrote about upgrading the 128k and the history of it.

    Good TFT for a 512K case ?

    It just occurs to me, if you're using a 512k logic board then @Bolkonksij may be able to use one of the compact mac video adapters I posted about recently.

    MacLO - New 68k game & source

    I think it's amazing that Jon made the source available. I feel like, even if there isn't an immediate reaction, this sort of material has a lot of value for years to come!

    What are your vintage grail items?

    Just a frigging Mac 128k in good condition. Is that really so much to ask for? (They're really hard to get!)

    I hope this means JDW will be providing translation for an English version of Doping Mac.
