Got a beautiful Power Macintosh G3 Blue and White for a good deal on eBay!

Me: "Hi, can you make sure to ship with enough immobilizing/buffering packing material so that the vintage Mac arrives in the condition pictured. It's my understanding that the corners are pretty fragile and need lots of bubble wrap. Thanks in advance!"

Seller: "No problem."

Narrator: "It would definitely be a problem."

I learned I will drive half way across the country to pick it up, rather than trust a seller to ship it. I have gone from Minnesota to Idaho to pickup a purchase.

I think you have it right if you want to be absolutely sure. I guess my luck ran out after getting some other machines (PM 6500/300, PM 8500/300, SuperMac C600/200 and a PowerCenter Pro 240) in the past ~year which were shipped with awesome packing jobs with similar notes to the seller.

The seller did provide a full refund and said to dispose of it as I wanted, so I guess I might have some salvageable parts, will need to see if the internals survived after I pry the thing open. Definitely some things bouncing around in there...
Heres a setup guide, notes on scaling and positioning and my LCD mounting bracket. Let me know if you need anything else I have a TON of notes but mostly partaining to my specific setup.

Hey Tavis, thanks again for sending all the files and notes — I really appreciate it.

I went through the setup guide and display config. The way you handle the screen positioning with wlr-randr and the Mini vMac build at 576×430 makes a lot of sense. That was exactly the part I was curious about.

I also opened the LCD bracket STL — really clean design. Very clever way to mount the display inside the MacClock.

I'm going to study everything and start experimenting with my own MacClock build.

One question I had: how are you generating the floppy / system sounds? Is that coming from the ATtiny using PWM?

Hey it’s tavis with the micro Mac project. Let me know what you need and I’ll get them together. There’s an lcd mounting bracket and then I have some other various mounts I made for my other boards and speaker and stuff.
