"When it comes to connectors, cables, and interfaces, Apple has always been different. See which are the most common Apple connectors and how to use them."

Let's kick of 2026 with some Apple appearances. "Accepted" has a classroom of eMacs, "Irresistible" has a background iMac G3, "The Tailor of Panama" has brief shots of a Clamshell iBook G3 and a Powerbook G3, and the "Married with Children" episode "Assault and Batteries" has a Macintosh Classic.

This year, I’m thankful for finally being able to get this video out the door!

After much procrastinating, I finally dive into the recapping work on the Mac Classic that was a $30 FB Marketplace rescue. Watch me as I attempt to remove old electrolytic capacitors from this 1990 Macintosh Classic logic board.

I wanted pico mac to be able to run at the top resolution that the RP2350 can handle reliably: 1280x720@50Hz HD. Oh, and the emulated mac is running with 4MB of RAM.

behold! it superficially works.

while I was getting ready to push this to my forks of pico-mac & umac I got a crash in the debugger that may just be due to extensive overclocking? I dunno yet. so, sadly, you can't grab & try it yet.

I'm off to do some IRL stuff but I hope to get this pushed soon.

The Mac Centris is finally recapped, refurbed, and running A/UX. Now to play around with it. 😁

📣 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?
