Minor update: support for LZW compression has been added, so those StuffIt archives now take up less space on disk.

Relevant to our interests, it's possible to proxy TLS connections to iCloud Mail (IMAP/SMTP) in order to access it from Mac OS 9. (Cyberdog, here boi!)

Have you ever wished you could create a StuffIt archive on your modern Unix-based Mac with a native open source tool, so you could more easily transfer files to your retro Macs? Well... have fun.

FYSA The next Electronics Flea Market (#EFM) on Sunday Sep 14, 2025 at West Valley College - which will be the last one for #2025

For details see https://www.electronicsfleamarket.com/

IMHO and from my experiences normally the last one for the year is the better ones for selling/attending.

One of my great EFM scores last month is this soutra XL #iPod dock. Solar panel to charge the internal battery and the iPod itself, the speakers are ok though I wish there was more bass. Still has the #apple property tag on it, missing the cover for the dock though. Works well, likely one of the better #EFM finds for me.

I hate it, but started an #ebay account again https://www.ebay.com/usr/3vil_1
To help pay it forward on some items

Some Macintosh SE logicboard closeups just for fun.

La boîte est vide mais la carte mère était encore au fond. Beaucoup de corrosion, de ports abîmés et de composants manquants, il a dû dormir dehors longtemps, et on va essayer de lui faire honneur.

I did not purchase it, but you can at https://maps.app.goo.gl/r695RvxJdvmsbnjY8 this place is a crazy mess... But he has had this for a couple of years, gave me a price of 150 for it and a #Netgear #NAS
This is the only part he has, and there is some cosmetic damage along with a part of the base (in the back, hard to see) broken off. This is rode hard, but could be a good parts system to fix one you have. Still a nice find for a collection, IMHO.

🌟 On the 40th anniversary of the Amiga, I made a decision.

Once my retro Mac station is fully set up — upgraded, tuned, and running just the way I want — I’ll part with the extra machines to fund a proper Amiga setup.

The Mac station is an exercise in nostalgia. The Amiga station will be one of total discovery — I never had one back in the day.

One more for the collection: a Snow White iBook G3 in incredible condition — the most immaculate one I’ve seen for sale online so far. Couldn’t let it slip away. According to the previous owner, it was only used to read emails! It even came with all the original discs (not that I’ll need them). It feels almost brand new. ✨🍏

I guess there’s still hope for the StyleWriter 1500.
It makes all the right noises — and sometimes even sees the cartridge. 🖨️🌫️

I made a new release of m68k-micropython: https://github.com/m68k-micropython/micropython/releases/tag/20250720

This adds the following groups of mac APIs (which I didn't actually test):

• deskmgr
• dialogmgr
• fontmgr
• menumgr
• textedit

My latest short is purely about retrobrighting a Mac SE/30. Retrobrighting the 🍊🤡 Macintosh SE/30 #retrobright #vintagemacintosh
https://youtube.com/shorts/iP5Z-BODuqo?feature=share

This week is going way better. I fixed the Mac Plus, my washing machine, and my lawnmower! This Mac SE popped up on marketplace. Normally I wouldn't be into a regular SE, but it looks like it has a video card. Let's see what's inside Thursday (3rd) at 10:30AM eastern. #vintagemacintosh https://youtube.com/live/qEblIHcC_58?feature=share

I am reminded of how much more current can be drawn from a USB port nowadays. Or contrastingly, how little current could be drawn from USB ports in the mid 2000s.

I have a Samsung 256GB Thumb Drive and when I plug it into my iMac G4 PowerPC, it will eventually brown out the USB bus causing the OS to unmount the drive.
