One of my favourite movies as a kid. ISTR that it was actually on Atari's video game hardware of the time, though (similar, based on the 6502 and POKEY, but not directly compatible). I don't think there was ever a home computer port of it but it plays very well in MAME.

It's a wonderful IDE. Well-thought out, lots of features. By CW Pro 6 or 7 it was so finely honed for great workflow. Everything at your fingertips.

Yeah, you're in bad shape here. On my 1400 (see https://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2022/10/refurb-weekend-powerbook-1400.html ) I was seeing similar evidence when the front bezel cracked. What happens is that the screws in the metal hinges/clutch assembly tear out of the plastic in the back and then...

That string comes from the STB Finder's DATA resource. I have the full disassembly, so I should be able to figure out the checksum and framing.

My regular workstation is a POWER9 16-core (64-thread) Raptor Talos II running Fedora. It works well, but I had to do a lot of personal work to make it work "sanely," and some things still don't work as nicely as they should. (That's Linux, not the hardware.) Also, I've yet to find any laptop I...

What pins on the T1 network port are TX and RX (and are there hardware flow signals)? I have some modular connectors I can break out from it.

Hey, thanks for the article plug (we chatted in E-mail). Good find with the OWO disc. That Telia ROM is quite something. I'm going to burn that for my STB3 and see how far it gets. This may be a better foundation to build upon than the USA ROM.

Apple does a lot wrong these days (and knows better). But I'm still typing this on an M1 MBA because Microsoft keeps saying to hold its beer.

Hey, thanks! It's fun to work on. Once everything got ironed out in the build system, then the rest was "easy."

What were the problems? Did that fix them?

D'oh!

MacLynx is an update to the original 1997 MacLynx that provides a native Lynx text browser port on A/UX 3.x, System 7.x and higher, with Mac quality-of-life improvements and support for TLS 1.3 through Crypto Ancienne (either self-hosted or on another system). Changes in this release: -...

What happened?

I've got a push-button one like that. It multiplexes between my Lisp Machine IIci (MacIvory), my clock-chipped Q800 and my "G4" 7300. However, the 7300 uses a different rotary KVM for video since it has a Rage Orion.

I don't know about the 7100 specifically but some of these you can pop out the applique from the rear (the 1400 is like that).

The IIci is my favourite 68K Mac. Stackable, easy to work on, not excessively expensive as classic Macs go, 32-bit clean, not large, many expansion options.

I have to say that I've always found the Octanes to be a bit of a bag of hurt (along with their contemporary the O2). There are things to dislike about the Fuel but it's relatively straightforward to work on.

Ah, that probably explains it.

Which video card is this? I don't have any trouble with my MDD's Radeon 9000 Pro getting 1920x1080 over DVI.

I killed one of mine (I had two originally) that way, though, so I'll argue the opposite side. My prototype Portable uses an original supply and a rebuilt battery and after its recap continues to perform perfectly except for its audio being a little quiet.
