Macintosh Performa 578

Big milestone for my 6502 based Wildbits/K2. My C programming project, non-vibed, old school perseverance and learning. I made a multi-music file player with the cute mascot "Whiskers". Uses all 5 sound chips of the system: SID, OPL3, PSG, MP3, MIDI. 2 years to get to this point!

The ImageWriter II is shaped in such a way where you can't easily stack them. Being a connoisseur of these fine printers... I had the *need* to stack them... using scrap wood of course. Presenting the JankPrintShelf 1.0! 🖨️🪵 I hope @actionretro.bsky.social and @bigbadbiologist.bsky.social approve!

I love the boot beep 😵‍💫 John’s a wizard AND a surgeon! (biologist too I hear..)

The talk I gave at #teardown2026, Creating Up to Date Hardware for Out of Date Tech is now up on the Crowd Supply YouTube channel! Join me as I talk about what makes old tech cool, and why open source hardware makes it even cooler. youtu.be/S2pVAZUPD6o

The amazing @polpo.org came across a Packard Bell Legend 610 with a nasty power supply and thought of me. I thought that was a compliment, but on second thought, I'm not so sure! In any case, let's open it up and see if we can get signs of life. Friday afternoon 2:30 EDT. youtube.com/live/yqqyvRE...

I love taking the train between San Diego and Los Angeles since it's such a gorgeous view but there's just no way it'll still exist on the same track a generation from now. www.instagram.com/reels/DeSCAh...

"...the occasional moaning and sighing is the worst part, but if the ominous error dialogs and expressions of terror at being shut down don't put you off, you'd do worse than this very well priced bundle. In some markets, Apple are paying customers to take Brundlemacs" - MacWorld, September 1997.

#MODtober Day 4: Remember those 3 weeks when games used tracker tunes for soundtracks? "Dimension 2012" by Necros. A Fasttracker (not FT2) tune using 8 channels. Used in the 1995 game "Crusader: No Remorse" from Origin but also in Digital Psychosis musicdisk. Played in TrackMeister

My Weller needs new tips again, so I bought a FNIRSI DWS-200 soldering iron. Let's test it while working on a battery-damaged 286 motherboard and an Apple IIgs (also a IIc that needs to be checked out, but likely no solder). Saturday's noon EDT. thehttps://youtube.com/live/qrfJ8BD0N-g?feature=share
