    With the 2024 show being so great (nice seeing @Action Retro ), here's a shameless plug for the Vintage Computer Festival SoCal in Orange County, California February 15th & 16th, 2025. It's a great show, and you can pair it up with a trip to nearby Disneyland! https://www.vcfsocal.com/

    Best Version of REALBasic for SE/30?

    I have some experience with Filemaker, Hypercard, and Director but wanted to try REALBasic to develop apps for late 80's 68k Macs. Does anyone know what version of RealBasic would work best on System 7.1 on an SE/30? @Action Retro I saw you use REALbasic on your Battlestation - any ideas?

    68k Fun with Filemaker Pro 3 retro development

    FileMaker Pro 3 really served my needs when I could not find any vintage Bible software for my Mac SE running System 6 that would allow full-text search (without taking forever) and function on the 9 inch 1 bit display. Using my SE/30 running System 7.1.1 as my Filemaker Pro 3 development...

    Safe way to do a Post-recap Power Supply Smoke Test?

    I'm finishing up recapping my SE/30's power supply. This is not my first re-cap, but my first for a power supply. Is there a way to "smoke test' this without hooking it up to the Mac's analog board? While I will double check all my replacement cap's polarity and values, I'd like to avoid...
