Starting the year replacing the original PRAM battery from a 27 year old pristine G3 iMac. Only resulted with minimal plastic destruction😢 it crumbles if you look at it wrong.

#retrocomputing #marchintosh

#GlobalTalk geeks! #MARCHintosh is 60 days away!

I want to update my install images and docs to cover more use-cases (Snow, *SCSI storage solutions, maybe other non-QEMU-based emulators), correct errors, etc.

I want to update the AIR manual addendum correspondingly where needed, and cover new GlobalTalk services/apps (e.g. Hermes BBS, FileMaker, etc.). This might also be where I include details of configuring a machine using Dayna-based SCSI Ethernet networking (virtual and real). And correcting errors or omissions.

And lastly, I may want to call on some volunteers with various Mac models to test out my secret project (Snow will certainly help me with this but I have limited access to real hardware).

WOzFest 43 is on 28 March 2026, so I’d like to maybe coordinate some shenanigans for that, too! 01:00-10:00 UTC. We’ll be celebrating Apple’s 50th birthday a little early.

Please DM me if you’d like to be involved in any or all of this – I’ll assess where I’d like help and divvy things accordingly.

Links to guides, apps, etc. I can generally just point to – I’m not looking to ingest other people’s hard work and content without consent, acknowledgement, and suitability to whatever my vision is within each project.

Please boost for reach!

Thank you – and Maccy New Year!

I think I might have just come up with the stupidest possible #GlobalTalk project to release for #MARCHintosh 2026.

Honestly, its stupidity is staggering!

If I can pull this off...
