    Mu0n's Color Classic thread

    It arrived at the buyee warehouse earlier in the week and I promptly ordered an additional protective packaging. It's been sitting in that state for about 3 days now. I'm kinda regretting not requesting a photo of its status before ordering the repackaging.... rookie mistake I guess?

    Reworking my computer area (daily driver + retro)

    Last shot being an "honest" point of view. My main goal was to bring the unruly mess of noodles in check and allow super easy vacuuming. A bonus objective was to keep it malleable and not require 3 thousand unwanted steps if something has to be moved or swapped. Every power strip and cable...

    Reworking my computer area (daily driver + retro)

    To reiterate - I've solved my cable management already to a satisfying degree ( to me). I'm delaying the after shots because I'm almost but not quite yet done.

    Reworking my computer area (daily driver + retro)

    (TW: anxiety inducing cable mess) In 2011, when I moved into an appartment with my girlfriend, she wanted us to tackle cable management. In my head, it was a 'let's buy 1 thing and get it done, anytime you want'. ... Fast forward into 2022, we've since then re-moved into an house (2015) and...

    Did you take a pic of that broken trace? Sometimes it's informative to check on how just how deviously hard to see they can be.

    I flashed my BlueSCSI to the latest v1.1-20220404 firmware, Mac Plus benchmark comparisons

    More BlueSCSI speed tests by tweaking the SCSI driver on my Mac Plus w/ system 6.0.8 I tried using the suggested Silverlining 6.0.1 for driver changes and SCSI Director Pro 4 for visual benchmarks. I got a drop of performance when I tried the "Silverlining fast handshake one", it got down to...

    I flashed my BlueSCSI to the latest v1.1-20220404 firmware, Mac Plus benchmark comparisons

    If you have a Mac Plus: assuming your BlueSCSI works as is, the SCSI Accelerator should be plenty enough, no pressing need to do a firmware update If you have other machines as well: be safer than sorry and do the firmware and apply SCSI Accelerator only for your Mac Plus If you don't have a Mac...

    I flashed my BlueSCSI to the latest v1.1-20220404 firmware, Mac Plus benchmark comparisons

    Using SCSI Director Pro v2.1.7 after the very last bootloader + firmware flash: no significant changes. But then, a true hero appears @VicNor on the discord server! He had specialized knowledge about Mac Plus and SCSI drivers - it turns out several drivers of the day were written for the lowest...

    I flashed my BlueSCSI to the latest v1.1-20220404 firmware, Mac Plus benchmark comparisons

    After spending some time receiving help from @eric in Discord in the RaSCSI/BlueSCSI server, I finally updated the right bootloader into my blue pill. The LED flash frequency went about from 2 flashes/s (old bootloader) to about 6 flashes/s (new bootloader enabling usb updating). So as it...

    Let's play Archon on a real Macintosh Plus (1986) - nail biter endgame!

    Archon (1986) from Freefall Associates and Electronic Arts One of my absolute favorite games on Macs - my brother and me used to play this a lot in hotseat back in the day. I used light side with the mouse and he played with the keyboard with dark side. Always. This game carried heavy copy...

    [MIDI] Roland SC-88ST vs Kawai playing 'Asayake' from Casiopea

    Again, I'm comparing the Roland SC-88ST Sound Canvas against the Kawai XC-3 GMega LX, running a pretty spiffy midi probably dating from the 90's (the info inside the .mid file tells of a geocities website). I've discored that group (Casiopea) last year and their style meets the olden midi synth...

    I flashed my BlueSCSI to the latest v1.1-20220404 firmware, Mac Plus benchmark comparisons

    Methodology: I reflash the Blue Pill in my BlueSCSI using Visual Code Studio, PlatformIO using the Upload task within the project, since the STM32 cube utility has never worked with my counterfeit Blue Pill (which I didn't plan on getting, it's what a generic electronics store sold me). When...

    Uninvited (1986) "Box" found!

    I'm very glad I spotted this in a lowish resolution picture of an estate sale where someone was trying to show off mac software and hardware that his grandpa had accumulated over the years. There were Apple ii mixed in. It was entirely possible that this Uninvited box would be the Apple ii...
