Now with Alan Dye gone, I feel finally the energy to come out with my own convoluted demands.

@eniko yeah, this really has the #1980s "#Memphis" style look.

When you did that "put an old Macintosh on the Internet" thing already in the late 1990s and nobody cared (or mainly considered you a silly stupid nerd). #macintoshplus #ppp #zipdrive

La ROM perdue du Macintosh Plus, dédiée au Japon dlvr.it/TKr7x6 #MacintoshPlus #ROM

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!

Everything else has FTPed over to the Minitel/PiDP8i evening stereo without any trouble apart from Floral Shoppe. A problem with the Japanese characters? I've moved a tonne of City Pop over without any issues.

Finally moved it physically with a USB drive. We might have expected this from Vektroid.

The image shows a close-up view of a Minitel 1 terminal screen displaying a music library. The screen is black with white text, and the display is slightly angled, revealing a red indicator light on the right side. The screen shows a list of artists and albums, with the first entry being "(No Name)" and the second "David Torn." The track list includes titles such as "Floral Shoppe" by Macintosh Plus, with track numbers and durations. The date and time at the bottom of the screen read "03:56 / 03:24 / 14:08:04," and the volume is set to 100. The background is softly lit, with a hint of a PiDP8/i computer.

People of the Fediverse, I need your help!

To my knowledge, re-creations of the CAS PLD (PAL20L8) floating around the net are not completely functional (some memory combinations are not working), so I started fiddling around with the equations to fix them, testing the results on my clone and with the help of @DosFox

The end result is a CAS that seems to support all memory combinations, but, while working perfectly for me, kills the audio on DosFox's clone!

So, anyone with a Plus, willing to try the PLD and tell us what happens on their machine?

Boosts appreciated for reach!

First trip out. Listening to a bit of Floral Shoppe 😅 just felt like the right album to record to a pink MiniDisc 😂 #minidisc #vaporwave #floralshoppe #macintoshplus #vektroid #tech #technology

Anyone want this 1MB #macintoshplus ?

It's not got a floppy drive in it and the image needs straightening but it works.

It's the one with the reconditioned flyback in it I recoated a while back. It's been recapped and has the diode mod for SCSI.

I was thinking around CAD$50, local Toronto pickup. I can ship but obviously that's riskier and will be at your cost.

I can include the dead floppy too if you want it.
