    My goodness! What's even more shocking than the incredible links and info presented by @eric in the opening post is that I didn't even notice this thread until today! Yikes! I'm especially having fun with Raiders of the Lost Icon. Here's a screenshot showing an icon extract I made... And...

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    Zane, just a quick update to say I've not done any testing yet because the package is still stuck in Chicago, according to the tracking info. Japan Post tracking says the same. Hopefully, nobody in Chicago nabs it! 😅

    Apple /// Chasis color

    I don't have a specific answer about which paint can to buy on Amazon, Mark, but I did find the following article about the paint color to be quite interesting, especially since Apple even offered bottles of touch-up paint back in the day! https://apple.fandom.com/wiki/Apple_Beige

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    Wow. I've been oblivious to the fact that @Crutch was Steve Crutchfield all this time. Fabulous apps indeed! Glad to hear @techknight has also joined the testing team. Great! Zane, the package which you very graciously shipped to me will likely arrive tomorrow, since today is a national...

    68k Mac Prices from Yesteryear

    Mac 128K & SE/30 Trivia Question — A Shocking Truth

    Bingo! 🎉🥳👯‍♂️ You provided the winning answer! And what a sad answer it is. Yes, friends, Larry Pina was wrong when he said this... The copper inside the SE & SE/30 Main Wiring Harness (leading from the Analog Board to the Motherboard) is in fact 22AWG — the same thickness as the Macintosh...

    Mac 128K & SE/30 Trivia Question — A Shocking Truth

    First off, thanks for replying! With regard to what you wrote though, I've never heard any rumor saying the 128K has thicker wires in its main wiring harness. But perhaps you were just poking fun, which is perfectly OK. I did make the opening post a bit non-standard, but that was for good...

    Folks, which of the following two wire harnesses have a thicker wire gauge? (I know the answer already, BTW.)

    SMC ROM Simm programming

    I'm using Monterey. It was somewhat of a hassle, but probably not as much as older macOS. So I agree with what you said, Kay.

    SMC ROM Simm programming

    I emphasized that the true creator of the ROM SIMM Programmer (the v2 hardware currently being sold as "ROMmate") is Downtown Doug Brown in my earlier posts because he is technically not associated with CayMac, other than having given them permission to move forward with the sale of his...

    SMC ROM Simm programming

    @retr01 :) Here's the "what works chart" in hard-to-read text form: The official Kero's Mac Mods programming solution for the 2MB SMC ROM SIMM is the T48 programmer in combination with Crucible v1.1 (macOS software app), as per that info showing on the SMC ROM SIMM product page. As I...

    The T48 is not supported by the macOS software for the TL866II+, unfortunately.

    Interware SE/30 accelerator

    Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but because I own a DiiMO (50MHz) and the socketed 50MHz '030 Daystar PowerCache (which is a tad slower than the DiiMO due to its smaller cache memory), I would be interested in seeing your benchmark comparisons to see how much less "vroom" the Interware...

    SMC ROM Simm programming

    @retr01 Kay does make a good point. And he has kindly given me that same advice in the past too. I certainly do not want to discount the important of his recommendation at all. Even so, I will share my story below and then provide you with your two options. MY STORY I ultimately broke down...

    VCFMW 2024 - September 7-8

    Wow, @eric , that was a pretty incredible haul! Somebody needs to hurry up and invent teleportation so I can attend those shows on a regular basis! (Or be given the power of Q... whichever.)

    Help me figure out how to sign a macOS app

    Colin, I have zero idea how to answer your question, but for the sheer fun of it, I sent a slightly edited (for clarity) version of your post to ChatGPT4o, and it replied back as follows (keeping in mind that it can make mistakes)... To sign an app using codesign on macOS, you need an Apple...

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    @Zane Kaminski Is there a way to disable the acceleration and run the SE at the stock 8MHz speed? The Levco SpeedCard has that ability via Programmer's Switch, which can be useful at times to run software that otherwise would be problematic at a higher clock speed. Of course, the biggest...

    Strange Comments on YouTube — SPAM?

    Question for those of you into YouTube, like @This Does Not Compute , @Mac84 and @Branchus (and others)... Some of my videos have recently been getting an influx of unusual comments like this: They didn't come all at once, and I got an email notification for each. At first, I thought it was...
