    Apple IIGS RGBtoHDMI + Apple Macintosh Monitors

    Very nice! I ended up selling my IIGS with monochrome monitor just so I could buy one with an RGB display lol This board is in my project bin for a rainy day, really glad you showed this working. Exactly what I'll be doing if the RGB monitor quits :(

    Upgrading from a $40 858D to the $4,000 Metcal HCT-1000 & PCT-1000 hot air rework system

    $30 Box of Random Electronics

    Never miss another appointment with the handspring PDA! nice haul :) On another note, I have a particular fondness for early/mid 90's transparent plastic housings.

    Macchimey?

    can we modify the chimney section to accept an in-line Poptart or toaster strudel? I think we could benefit from reusing the computers heat to passively heat delicious snacks.
