International Roast (instant) and Vittoria (in moka pot) for me.

I use 62 (Sn)/36 (Pb)/2 (Ag) low melting point (LMP) solder at 320°C. For 60/40 or 63/37, I'd recommend 360-370. 400 is too high IMO; flux may evaporate away too quickly. Thermal linkage is important when it comes to speed: https://www.circuitrework.com/guides/7-1-1.html

An Apple Hard Disk 20. I should have never thrown mine out all those years ago. 😭 Thankfully there's much smaller options nowadays.

I'd start with "Macintosh C Programming Primer" which you can download here: https://vintageapple.org/macprogramming/ or buy for quite a low cost through AbeBooks or similar.

Edit: I'll order one or two of the modules listed here to try and will post again stating how I go in the future: https://www.meanwell.com/productSeries.aspx?i=18&c=6#tag-6-18. I presume a 3" x 2" module would also fit and run cooler, however a 2A fuse would probably need to be added for...
