All that remains is to fix comma and numpad 0. These all work:

all these 4 keys will work when the crack is resolved.

Maybe some weight applied to it at one point during its life since 1986?

Hmm, what's this? continuity blockage? ENHANCE! Gotcha (this will solve 7, K, dot)!

Normal behavior of a keyswitch when it's out of the board. It didn't work when it was in the board, doesn't work now that I've soldered it back.

After doing a surface clean and getting as much gunk out without desoldering every key in order to access the pcb from the top side, I got out the '7' (non numpad) out by desoldering it and it seems to act totally normal when I test out the resistance across the pins (I'll post a video on the...

I tried to spray some contact cleaner and press the keys a bunch of times 7 and U: goes to lower 10's Ohms when pressed K: seems intermittent to 1000 ish Ohm, sometimes underneath. I'll give it a massive overall clean before I continue.

I have two of those, the original one from my childhood, and a platinum style one that I bought used from around 2005 or so. The latter works flawlessly while the former has some problematic keys. Here's a direct screenshot (thanks RGB2HDMI) of the full alphabet and numbers test (top: working...

Loved that video!

First planned contribution to #Marchintosh -Install the RGB2HDMI to a Mac Plus -Capture footage for Archon from it, and also from mini-vMac to show how the emulation version falls short soundwise -Set up a streaming date for a "Let's play Archon" session (probably on youtube live) -Set up a...

I think the original Dune has more to offer nowadays than the antiquated Dune 2, which suffers from so many missing modern RTS trappings.

I finally fixed my nonstop vertical flip, just select a lower capture resolution, not like I need a high one for 320x240 VGA footage: (edit in May 2022: link fixed, I created a new channel just for DOS)

Just got through this absolute classic. It's the granddaddy of RTSes. One the games of that genre started allowing group select with the mouse and mass orders, queued orders, it became very painful to go back to this by the time Starcraft (1998) rolled. After all that time, the nostalgia factor...

I'm only posting the sides of my desktop area associated with my retro activity. PC side: self-made Weecee (pentium 233 MHz equivalent) sitting atop my mini-midi mountain, along with a IBM 486DX2/66 Mac side, currently hosting the Mac Classic, I regularly switch it out for a Plus or a SE/30

I'm not committing myself to this for the time being, I'm swamped as usual as a college teacher until June and I have other projects to attend first. Who knows in the future, or as an assistant to someone else?

oh, figures he's here: @jcs right?

This guy hits ALL my checkboxes AND made his own repo manager under System 6 AND his own minimalistic streaming + chat program while he streams code sessions. I want to be him when I grow up (although I'm not that far from him as of now...) https://jcs.org/2022/02/21/macplus_streaming

I've started working on the faceplate recreation/adaptation of my front plate, shown here with a side by side comparison with the real thing: I found other people working on a font, this one is called PBIO: but the M and 3 of MT-32 seem wrong, and the multi & sound sentences look too fat...

This week, I got a cheapo USB hdmi capture device (that can reach 1920x1080p @ 30 Hz) which is more than sufficient for capturing gameplay, but not playing off of, so I got... a powered HDMI 1in2out splitter so that the feed also goes in real time on a 2nd monitor. I thus have a direct video +...

(I've successfully completed a similar application with the Mac Classic 1's video signals. It was easy to follow into Adrian's Black footsteps, details in my other thread here https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/macintosh-classic-1-rgb2hdmi-project-complete.832/) However, documentation is a tad...
