Could this be the first battery-powered, fully-wireless ImageWriter II in history? Well, it might at least be the first one on #GlobalTalk!
Just in time for the end of #MARCHintosh, a cheap Farallon AirDock showed up on Yahoo Auctions, and since I already had one, I had to try this stunt - adding an IRTalk node to GlobalTalk.
It is currently live on GlobalTalk if you want to try it, I'll probably leave it up until either the battery runs out or I deem it too much of a tripping hazard.
This morning I have installed macOS 26.4, 15.7.5, 10.12 and 10.15.7 on three different machines.
Now restoring back to 10.8 then 10.10 to test something. Maybe more.
#MARCHintosh Canvas 1.0.1 is out, fixing crashes on connect on Macs with 68000 processors and Macs without Color QuickDraw (the Venn diagram of which is a perfect circle…)
@2kcompliant got it!
