early on in the Macintosh project (pre steve jobs taking over) it was going to be a little 6502 computer. at some point they decided on 68000. but i don't know the details. https://www.folklore.org/ is a good site to read up on the development of the mac side of things.

i looked but couldn't find it again. but i recently watch* somebody was able to do basically what you are asking for. i remember he was able to eventually get the video to a LCD monitor. So. thats to say. it has been done. (hack a SE logic board to not need an analog board...) so i guess. at...

no. @Kay K.M.Mods found it hard to build one. The chip you need is hard to find and tend to be broken when you do find them. So he made a new Rominator II that you can use normal rom programer. https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/smc-rom-simm-prototype.2198/ so maybe that would be a good...

i'm supper newb at this. but i think lower numbers are faster. Access Time-Max 120.0 ns vs Access Time-Max 150.0 ns i bet either would work. that is, its ok to go with a faster chip.

i love how we have both solutions on this thread. with a little howto write scripts thrown in!

nah, more like the (ok, that is the Thomson version. but better representative of what i had in mind) i'm not really a electronics guy. so you say 68000 i think what i'm used to when i open up my older macs :P not that it matters. i was just surprised there was that many packages for it.

oh interesting. the Package for the CPU is square. i was expecting it to be rectangle.

Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) part of the Apple File Service (AFS), that offers file services for macOS, classic Mac OS, and Apple IIs. kinda went away in Mac os 10.8 or so. personally, i get AFP and AFS and apple talk all mixed up. could you just make a classic app that looks at all the file...

i get it. the first of whatever is more collectable. not because its useful. most 128k's i'm sure is just wall candy. to add on to this. the first Mac we even saw, the one that was happy to get out of that bag, was a 512k. The 128k doesn't have enough memory to talk! FWIW, i was able to find a...

i'm happy when I beat 10k <--- feels small ;)

i've been playing glypha on my steam deck. and yeah i also added A as jump. but then i ended up just using X for jump anyways. lol. scores are super low tho

This is great! can finally play lots of minesweeper. i was having trouble rightclicking. found its because of Safari. (even though it grabbed my mouse, right click still went to safari) Switched to firefox and right click works fine. (prolly would also in chrome) so that is, works better not...

I noticed in the video the icons look like they are being double clicked. (they flash twice) I feel like in the modern dock they only flash once when you are simply switching to them. This is really cool and i bet a lot of fun to recreate. edit: i meant to ask originally. >Is that flashing...

or maybe use @jcs 's amend ? I haven't actually tried it myself. but seems like it would be nice to be able to do source control straight from the classic environment you setup for think c.

i found this page that lists the results auction results Its kinda neat to see what things went for price wise.

i guess it was just easier to stop supporting the macs that had dirty roms. lol

I purchased a iMac 333MHz new. it was a rev D. (so tray loading) i loved that thing. i used it all the time. I opened it up lots of times just because I thought it was cool. I dreamt about getting the G4 upgrade that also included a firewire port. I purchased a Blue and white tower off of...

aside, when i got a Blue and white tower used.. like a decade or 2 ago... i thought it was soo rad it was soo easy to overclock it. (just move jumpers)

looks like the plastic under the clear plastic is ok ? all mine are shattered under there. edit: i'm being hyperbolic. i have at least one iMac with shattered plastic under the clear shell....
