paulrickardsEveryone’s on their Hand386 so I dusted off my PocketChip and look at that, I’m running System 7.5.3 thanks to Mini VMac! It’s delightfully quick!

Could I build Mini VMac for Pocket Chip myself to include the LocalTalk over UDP option?? How hard could it be?! 🤪
After making some really sketchy repository changes and doing an incantation, I got some X11 sources installed and Mini VMac actually compiled without issue!
And look! It’s speaking AppleTalk (UDP) on my network!! Hahaha this is so weird to me. Should I print something to my AppleTalk ImageWriter II from my handheld? 😅

After a few tries I was able to fully print from Quark XPress to the ImageWriter II over #AppleTalk with the #AirTalk from the #PocketChip! It wasn’t quick but it worked!

How about browsing the ✨ Internet ✨ on the emulated Mac? 😅
Using MacIPGW here for MacIP. Writing up a blog post about all of this later today!

New blog post: Macintosh Emulation and Printing using Mini VMac on a PocketCHIP
In this post I go over how I got Mini VMac compiled on the PocketCHIP with LocalTalk options enabled. I also go over how I printed to a real ImageWriter II as well as browsed the web with Netscape 2.0!

Minesweeper because solitaire didn’t place the cards right (probably because of the weird screen size?)

Picking up this project from two years ago, I finally printed a bezel and key set for my PocketCHIP. I printed it with Polar Retro Platinum and used waterslide decals for the key tops and badge with Univers 57 font.
Update: I collected the models and the art for the waterslide decals in one place:

Boot the emulated Mac on the PocketCHIP.. from Floppy?! Sure, why not! 🙃
Telmo 🦕@paulrickards this is getting out of hand, i love it. See, you sharpened all the pencil and now it’s a new one!!!
James against the machine@paulrickards this whole thread inspired me to finally persist in unbricking (and re-bricking, several times) my own Pocketchip. Fun!! I need to print this case and keys; they look fantastic!
@j Fantastic! Glad to hear it was an inspiration. The keyboard does give it a more polished feel. And it's so much easier to locate keys. Look forward to seeing yours when it's finished 🙂
