TI-99/4A: Leaning More on the Firmware

I identified the layer in #Cura , so I should now tell the printer to move to that height and then continue printing from there. I must take care that the printer is "initialized" correctly (plate and extruder temperature etc). (continues)
So I opened the #gcode file and identified the layers (luckily #cura comments out every layer start). I took note of the last printer layer height (checking the only instruction with a Z in it) and removed from the first layer to the 21st. I left in place all the initialization dance and added, between it and the start of the 22st layer, an instruction to move the print head to the previously discovered Z height. I saw the gcode says #Marlin #firmware, so I searched in the Marlin's documentation: https://marlinfw.org/docs/gcode/G000-G001.html
The selected instruction in the screenshot is the one I added. (Continues...)

Ouf. I came across a MacBook Pro mid 2012 edition that I had laying around. I had installed Linux Mint on it, but didn't remember the password and, hey, gotta have Gnome on a Mac, right? So I installed Fedora on it instead.
Turned out that Fedora does not recognize the wifi card in this machine! Linux Mint was connected, and had the Broadcom driver installed. But Fedora just says "No Wi-Fi adapter found" :/
Is there a list of distros with MBP Broadcom drivers?
I was sure that I could just connect via ethernet and install the Firmware app and then install the Broadcom firmware from there. But no, Firmware can not see the Broadcom chip!
But thankfully I found a guide on cyberciti.biz... Yeah, that sounds sketchy, but it worked! But it was a bit long, and Firmware still doesn't see the chip even now! So this is not ideal. Why is it so hard to install?

Recently I've been working with analog magnetic sensors for reading keyboard position, velocity and aftertouch.
Wrote a quick FM-synthesis engine for some sweet 1980s synth bells. Then took the prototype keyboard for a test drive on one of them free jam-tracks. : }
