New blog post! It's all about the Apple Bandai Pippin Atmark, the little Mac that you put under your TV. How does its version of Marathon stack up, and why is the cooling fan so loud?

Pippin in My Orchard

One of my white whales finally came up for a price that I could justify. Let’s see just how wounded it is, and then welcome it home with a little bit of help from some smart friends.

@leadedsolder Nice writeup. 🙂 Small nitpick: the ADB-like connector used by the Pippin and its input peripherals was dubbed "P-ADB" by Apple (I presume the "P" stands for "Pippin"); "AppleJack" is what the controller itself is called/codenamed.

@blitter thanks, you are totally right. I’ll make an edit!
