ROM SIMM Fun on Vintage Macs & News from VCF Midwest

[JDW]

Everything you wanted to know about custom ROM SIMMs, and so much more!

This video took me 7 weeks to make. Much of that time was spent in testing, and in working with Doug Brown and the CayMac team. The end result is amazing. Don't miss the text description on YouTube because I packed it to the 5000 character limit.

I had the chance to speak to all the major ROM SIMM vendors, and even was able to speak with Gamba's sister as well. I also wish to humbly thank @trag for his excellent post here on TinkerDifferent, written specifically as supplementary content to the video:

If you already have a custom ROM SIMM, you're in luck because the programmer's back. And for everyone else, now's the perfect time to get started!

Congratulations, Garrett and Zane! I’m really quite excited about this because it’s been long in coming.
