#MacPlus

2025-04-25

Trying out some games from the MacPack (Internet Archive) and look what I ran across, a Defender clone called MacLanding.

I wonder if this guy did any more programming for the Mac?

I'm pleased to announce that the new revision of the MiniPerformer+ for the #macplus arrived, got assembled and worked at the first try!
No bodges or cuts in this one!

Will probably have some free time in the weekend to write some docs and release everything!

Photo of the MiniPerformer+ mounted on a cloned Mac Plus board.
It mounts in place of the CPU, has a 68882 and a 68030 on top (plus the original CPU). The new CPU and FPU have heathsinks on.Photo of the underside of the MiniPerformer+. 4 PLDs are mounted on the underside, just in the middle of the 68000 footprintPhoto of the performance test on a benchmark with the performer installed. It reports 2.6 times the speed of a Mac classic.

Anyone know what the CRT refresh rate on the original Mac / Fat Mac / Mac Plus is? 60Hz?

These two other things also arrived today. Now I need time to clean and service the Mac 😅

Got my BlueSCSI from @onegeekarmy today! Really happy with it. I can’t use it right now (the Mac is disassembled waiting for a cleaning session), but will soon. 😊

I took a few pictures more of the recently acquired Mac Plus. Personal trivia: a second hand Mac Plus was the first computer I bought with my own money.
