    Apple T-Shirts Book -- 1000 shirts!

    I actually spoke to the book owner prior to your two replies today about the missing IBM images because I had noticed that yesterday. The book owner expressed his own surprised to me and said he had to do a double-take. I think the real issue here is that the book publisher didn't make time...

    Apple T-Shirts Book -- 1000 shirts!

    Now available on Archive ORG: https://archive.org/details/apple-t-shirts/mode/2up I ran across a post by the book owner on FaceBook and lamented the high cost of the out-of-print book and the fact there was no scan of it. He very kindly scanned it and put it on the Wayback Machine today...

    Mac Plus/SE Performer accelerator build

    It would be nice if the audio problem goes away on the Plus. I remember that Kay Koba told me his Carerra040 had a similar problem when installed on his SE/30 but didn’t have the problem when installed on a IIci. So you never know until you test, I guess.

    Mac Plus/SE Performer accelerator build

    First of all, congratulations on an amazingly great project DONE WELL! Man, do I know that about those frustrating ICs with pins that curl under the body. SOAP BOX! PCB creators, if you create something and have board space, please make the pads to extend out beyond the legs so soldering iron...

    Project30_v5.5

    I assume that "other thread" means the MLA, and I'm not sure where that thread is, hence my confusion about what has been said and hence my continued curiosity. If there's no practical purpose without a NuBus Controller, as you said, then did the creation by @Bolle & @joethezombie truly...

    Project30_v5.5

    What is this? Sorry, I'm ignorant of the goings on at the MLA. I see it's a card for the SE/30 with multiple slots and a NuChip (versus an OldChip?) ha ha. But what is the main purpose?

    1984 Macintosh Intro Brochure

    I made a pristine 600dpi scan of a mint condition brochure, which I acquired from the original photographer on EBAY. To avoid moire, I did not apply sharpening, but it honestly looks sharp enough that added sharpening is not needed. For more information, please see my video here. ⬇️ DOWNLOAD...

    Something like Vintage Apple 101: Getting Started thread

    @oldmacuser My approach through the years has been to basically vacuum up any and all info related to Macs in general (I've maintained my Macworld subscription since the 80's, for example), and I also try to have a presence in most places where vintage Macs are discussed. So I am not only...

    SE/30 ROM replacements issues + power cable connector name

    I show how to make such a cable in my video here... Not sure who's ROM SIMM you have. I have a purple colored ROM SIMM from @Kay K.M.Mods , and they come in black and red too: https://en.infinityproducts.co.jp/product-page/smc-rom-simm-card I've actually been doing some prep work on a new...

    Mac-O-Meter REVIEW (voltmeter)

    I spotted a fascinating little gadget in a post to the Vintage Apple Macintosh Enthusiasts Facebook group in April this year. I sent a PM to one of the co-creators, Joakim Larsson , and that led us down the rabbit hole of conversations which resulted in me buying one and then doing the full...
