I've come to terms with the fact that now that I actually own a printer, despite the type I get called on to actually print normal, day-to-day things, so I put in the effort to turn my raspberry pi into a CUPS server to re-share share the ImageWriter to my modern machines so I can print out PDFs without manually converting them to PNGs and booting up the G4 every time
It's very weird to see an ImageWriter show up in iOS
Thanks to @paulrickards for the guide in your blog!

The iMac monitor conversion is complete!
I am not sure why deleting a page break in AppleWorks for the #IIgs can reliably reproduce this error message.
But, I can say that I do love that I am presented with a second option.
("OTHER button" sadly does nothing. It would be even more entertaining if it did something.)
@requiem Welcome! I'm not going to be able to offer you much more than moral support, but there are kind people around here in the #VintageApple community. If you haven't found them already, there are also good forums for us Apple II people:

There's some retrocomputing among these boxes...
I've tried to turn this iMac into a monitor, but it is not displaying anything :(
After making sure it's getting the (unusual) resolution it wants, and putting the old logic board in to confirm that the screen does still work, it looks like I may need to collect my own initialization data to send to the display. I've wanted to finally get familiar with I2C so maybe today is the day.

I've made great progress so far today on #VirtusVR. I'm getting what seem to be coordinates, so I've cleaned up the C parser and started working on an OpenGL renderer...
On another note, apparently this software is part of a family of CAD programs and a 1988 FPS called "The Colony" for the early Mac: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Colony_(video_game)
I'm surprised nobody's taken a crack at this yet, but I guess I was bumping my head against it for a while. Thanks a bunch, ImHex! ๐
