Jon Schwenn<p>Months ago I bought a really rough Mac SE FDHD. I refurbished the floppy drive and swapped the ROMs. It’s been sitting because I wanted to sandblast the bracket so it looked clean. While I was in there I swapped the fan for something quiet. Now it’ll be able to run all <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/MARCHintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MARCHintosh</span></a> without making a lot of noise. </p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a></p>

Telmo 🦕<p>I just took a gamble—because that’s really the only word for it when it comes to retro hardware—and bought two Apple StyleWriters. I might have a problem. 😅</p><p><a href="https://masto.pt/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://masto.pt/tags/vintagecomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vintagecomputing</span></a> <a href="https://masto.pt/tags/macintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>macintosh</span></a> <a href="https://masto.pt/tags/MARCHintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MARCHintosh</span></a></p>

Jon Schwenn<p>Something fun arrived today. I decided to have one of my working but unstable SE/30 boards sent out to be “reloaded”.

Telmo 🦕<p>Should the next <a href="https://masto.pt/tags/MARCHintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MARCHintosh</span></a> be dedicated to Bill Atkinson? His work—MacPaint, HyperCard, and a visionary approach to software—defined the soul of early Macintosh.

Jon Schwenn<p>Found a rather dusty SE FDHD that is going to donate its ROM and SWIM chips and floppy to my Green SE and it’s tube and power supply to my up coming SE/30 reloaded project.

Telmo 🦕<p>Just a word of warning—from experience! If you’re thinking about getting a Power Mac or anything in that modular/tower format… don’t do it. For your own good. It will become a slippery slope. I thought I was safe when I picked up an old Power Mac Graphite during <a href="https://masto.pt/tags/marchintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>marchintosh</span></a> 2024, and now here I am, somehow at my 10th Macintosh tower. I never even had a Mac tower growing up—only all-in-ones like the Performa, later iMacs, and PowerBooks. You’ve been warned!</p><p><a href="https://masto.pt/tags/macintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>macintosh</span></a> <a href="https://masto.pt/tags/apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>apple</span></a> <a href="https://masto.pt/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a></p>
Andrew Young<p>Sorry for being so out of touch lately. I even had to skip <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/Marchintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Marchintosh</span></a> this year. Work and global politics have kept me busy. On the bright side, I bought a Localtalk option board (one of the recreations) for my ImageWriter II, so hopefully I will have it online and available for next Marchintosh. I've also been working on a 68k motherboard of my own design, which just arrived from the PCB fab. The goal is to learn more about hardware and OS design and get UNIX running on it. <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a></p>
Dan Morgan :ksu:<p>This is a pixel-perfect vector (as a png here) of the very early System 1.1 and Finder v1.1g “about” screen. It is pretty hard to find on the internet, generally. Again, thanks to the Infinite Mac website for allowing me to to take a screenshot!</p><p>I recreated every pixel as a 1x1 px vector and merged them where possible. As an svg or it will render perfectly at any size. I have two versions—this one with the words and shadow as the original and a second one without the words and shadow. <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/marchintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>marchintosh</span></a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/vintagecomputers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vintagecomputers</span></a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/macOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>macOS</span></a></p>
