@RetroFox @storiesofapple Yep! Pioneer made a few PPC clones (and one 68k clone), the person who set up the exhibit was super cool and had more non-Pioneer clones too, I’d tag them but I don’t think they’re on Mastodon.

Check out this short of walking through the VCF East swap meet in Wall, NJ yesterday. So many cool things to see! 💾

The always wonderful @kefkafloyd makes a cameo appearance!

I survived... somehow. 📺 I hope you did too! 😅

Support my retro archiving and tinkering shenanigans by purchasing this stylish shirt or mouse pad.

@DosFox Holy crap... how does that even happen?! Did someone drive a tank over it or something? 😲

@RonsCompVids @kristoff these were just examples to use as jumping off points but yes, plenty of OS options to choose from if you wanna make Gil Amelio cry!

@_the_cloud Ah, that’s unrelated to this disk but that was a follow-up letter from the software developer of MacCalc inquiring about a 512K Mac from Apple. It’s from September of 1985 and addressed to Alain Rossman, Apple’s software evangelist.

Tron in 3D, at this Laser IMAX theater was hands-done the best 3D films I’ve experienced. It felt like I was in a theme park ride, really sad they don’t release 3D Blu-ray discs in this country anymore.

If you go see it, see it on a huge screen in 3D - it really added to the fun ride.

Woo-hoo! I’m now set up to properly archive Apple II 5.25” disks! 💾

Some disks… just don’t want to be saved… 🫠

Whoa, I found another floppy from original Macintosh team member Joanna Hoffman! 😳

It contains the earliest version of ResEdit I’ve seen, v1.0 D4 - from 1985! 💾

Sometimes you just gotta hack your own solution! 📺

In this video I mod this TV remote to make it more accessible for my father-in-law. ❤️

If you want to make your own, a guide and 3D models are in the video description.

@Recta_Pete I love it!

My Macintosh POOsi power supply needs to finish being rebuilt, but I bought the wrong caps. So Saturday at noon eastern, we'll use a drill to hopefully finish it. The case turned out really nice (considering where it started) so I'm looking forward to showing that. https://youtube.com/live/-d0CBp_hklI?feature=share

@DosFox @mavica_again Oh wow, that's super cool. I must have missed that, thanks so much for sharing! :apple_inc:

@DosFox I'm a newbie to these, but is the Unitron 1024 ROM supposed to be in two files, I just see the one?

@DosFox @paulrickards Oh my, tell me the story of how you found these ROMs, super cool!

I did a video ages ago that talked about Unitron and I always thought it would be fun to inspect the ROMs to see how much was just copied Apple code. Neat!! 🎉

@paulrickards @DosFox The baud rate is "yes". 😂

@DosFox @paulrickards Oh, and did I mention it's slow? 🐢 Super duper painfully slow? 😅

@paulrickards @DosFox The blasted thing apparently only likes the Mac 128K and 512K. I'll try on my 512Ke, but apparently the company didn't really support the Mac Plus, according to very old posts I've found.
