Getting a fake AppleTalk ImageWriter to show up in the Chooser took longer than it should have.

Found this super cool Mac 128k prototype keyboard w IIc/IIgs key caps:
“This is a "one of a kind" prototype built at Apple's Accessory Products Division that was located in Garden Grove, CA. This keyboard was a prototype of a low profile keyboard intended for the original 128k style Macintosh. (This design never went into production.) I worked at this facility until it was sold in 1985 and acquired the keyboard during an employee sale.”

Writing zen, where the only distractions are Flying Toasters when you're idle 😉
Word 5.1a isn't too bad at 640x200 resolution. The UI is unobtrusive, crisp and legible, and big enough to touch.
Yep, it runs MacOS 7.5 really wide 🙃

Designed and printed a 4 x AA NiMH battery tray for the Apple eMate. This lets me change the batteries out quickly because they're not soldered, welded, or wrapped together. The bottom of the tray is open so you can push the batteries out easily. The fit should be snug.

Have you ever wished you could create a StuffIt archive on your modern Unix-based Mac with a native open source tool, so you could more easily transfer files to your retro Macs? Well... have fun.

Picked up this Apple 20SC external SCSI drive from the free pile at the last swap meet. I didn’t notice the corner of the case was missing so I modeled and printed a replacement in retro platinum. Reminds me of kintsugi visible mending.

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.
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!

Thanks in advance for a boost!
