Calling #RetroComputing friends! I have a #Macintosh128K with bad RAM and I am trying to figure out how to find someone who can repair it. If anyone has any resources to find local resources I’d really appreciate it! I would tackle this myself… well, no I wouldn’t.

Not necessarily looking for people on here who can repair it, but if you can drop your general area to see if you’re close to me!

I hope everyone who reads this has a spelndid day.

The film "Ted K" about the life of the Unabomber has a scene set in a computer store. In that you can see an Apple Macintosh, a Commodore Amiga 1000 and an Amiga 2000 and an IBM PC XT, PC AT and PS/2 Model 50/70. Later there is a scene in a library where an Apple Macintosh SE can be seen.

Let’s go back to Apple’s garage to meet the Lisa’s younger sibling, the Macintosh, and its OS! Is it a Lisa copycat, or are there any intriguing secrets behind it?

Everything You Wanted To Know About Early Macintosh Floppies

Using a disk drive today is trivial. But back “in the day,” it was fairly complex both because the drives were simple and the CPUs were not powerful by today’s standards. [Thomas]…

Anyone with a classic Macintosh ever have issues converting RS422 to RS232 and having Tx work but not Rx?

I have a Macintosh 512ke connected to a DTech RS422 converter [1] using the Macintosh RS422 pinout [2].

The female side of the Dtech is connected to a Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port plugged into a RaspberryPi 3 with agetty connecting to /dev/ttyUSB0.

The RPI is running Raspbian 12 and setup to use the USB Serial with `/sbin/agetty 9600 - vt220` and I am able to see logins via journalctl.

I've tried MacTerminal and Zterm on the Macintosh, all set to 9600 baud, Databits 8, Parity None, Stop Bits 1, flow control and hardware handshake off. I've tried various combinations of these with the same results.

Connecting a multi-meter to the RPI serial and a tail -f of continual output, there is voltage change, verifying the RPI serial terminal is sending data, but isn't received by the Macintosh.

The attached screenshot shows Zterm sending commands successfully to the RPi and then the shell history of the fatmac user, verifying Tx from the Macintosh is working.

Any ideas on why the Macintosh is not receiving data from the RaspberryPi but is able to transmit?
