📣 New Video Drop 🎥

I take a closer look at the seemingly fine $30 Facebook Marketplace Mac Classic. But, as we know, all good Mac Classics go bad and this little guy needs some help.

Let's find out how much trouble I'm really in and the spare parts that I've spend the last month purchasing.

So a thing happened today!

After researching, watching videos, procrastinating, watching more videos, talking to friends, drinking lots of coffee, and did even more procrastinating, I removed leaky caps from a #MacClassic system board! This was my first attempt at removing caps from a board. Not too bad.

Dealing with C2 and C8 are going to be “fu”n. 🤣😇

Has anyone had luck getting #MacVenture games to run on Linux *outside* of the #BasiliskII Mac Classic emulator?

I know I’m not even close to finishing my restoration of a #MacClassic, but is it too early to be thinking about #DOScember ?

I may have “accidentally” purchased an #IBM5150 for some holiday cheer.

#VintageComputing and #RetroComputing Friends, I’m getting ready to give this #MacClassic board a bath in this ultrasonic cleaner.

Suggestions on cleaning solutions?

@iiidiy suggested Flux-Off Aqueous which I haven’t bought yet.

On hand I have distilled water, Dawn liquid dish soap, and 70% IPA.

What do you use? How long and how much heat?

I know that you can’t use heat with IPA. 🔥🧯

Well, it seems to be working! Apparently I did not fuck up the redesign!

For those that just tuned in, the MiniPerformer+ accelerator is just a smaller remix of the #Macintosh Performer reversed by Bolle. This version is dedicated to the #MacintoshPlus, especially to be used on the clone I built for myself (thanks to @DosFox who made it possible).

It's an accelerator with a ~16Mhz 68030 CPU and an optional 68882 FPU, that's it. No onboard memory, but still a good speed bump for an old machine.

I'll now test it one or two days, check that it is stable like the rev.1 and release it for all to use!

I picked up a $30USD Mac Classic that was advertised on FB Marketplace.

Let’s see how much restoration this little guy will need to get working again!

Wow! I’m short on words, but I’m simply blown away by designer Kevin Noki’s functional recreation of Harmut Esslinger’s #Apple Flatmac design, a prototype developed by Esslinger’s Frog Design, the firm that handled Apple’s iconic industrial design language. It is simply astonishing. NOTE: If you just want to see it in action, jump to 41:24. #retrocomputing #Macintosh #MacClassic https://youtu.be/Grd_a4oi7qU

Search my computer for "Mac Paint" ... it suggests Wikipedia.

Search the internet for "mac paint internet archive" ... it emulates it!

Infinite nostalgia.

tltw - too long to watch. But what a nice idea to rebuild up a classic #MARCHintosh with todays parts:

And yes, I know the original tube was bent and surely not with color display. But it puts the floppy disk out like the original. And take a look at the front logo #BrewIntosh 😅​
