We took out the potential bombs (aka Rifas) that are not strictly necessary and just turned it on. And it worked! 😁😁😁 Thank you @luisfcorreia I would not touch anything with a CRT without you here! Towel was there to contain any possible explosion from any other capacitor. #RetroApple

512x384 (upscaled to 1024x768) DVI video generated directly on a Pico 2! Looks blurry because this display is 1280x1024 (very weird resolution). The pattern and the paper on my desk should provide a good hint of what I want to build. 😁 #RetroApple

EDIT: right, now with the actual video. 🙄

Someone didn't want screws on the HD SC20? 😬 This is going to be a pain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qof-Wjj_rWI #retroApple

I found the link. Super bummed out by this. I was going to order only after testing the board, and now it's gone. Contacted the seller to see if they're going to build more, I hope so. 😭 #retroApple

Oh no, I think the LCD screens for the Mac Plus that were being sold on ETSY are sold out. :( Does anyone have the link for it? I can't find it anymore. #retroApple

What was the open source HW that did that (LocalTalk/Ethernet bridging)? I can’t recall. #RetroApple

This only took the entire day and two destroyed floppy disks. 😅 I need to see if one of them is still recoverable (is cleaning the disk surface with IPA a terrible idea? Because I did). To be fair, part of the afternoon was spent trying to get a System 6 image into the PowerBook 145 since it’s the only Mac with a floppy drive I have working.

I ask again, if anyone (hopefully in the EU) wants to get rid of an Ethernet/LocalTalk bridge, let me know. #RetroApple

The drive eject mechanism was stuck and everything was and quite dirty. Eject motor gears are still a train wreck since the gear that usually gets brittle got brittle, and it’s only being held by solidified grease. I have to get new gears made, I’m hoping someone published the model and which material to use since I know nothing about 3D printing. #RetroApple

(ignore the beeps, that’s just DiskDup+ on the PowerBook being needy) #RetroApple
