with the current state of the sound output, amplifying the IIci turns it into a pretty wild noise machine even before running any of my code 
but i did also get a very basic realtime thing going! woo

i see 30-pin SIMM RAM comes in 60ns and 50ns latencies. anyone know if both are compatible with a Mac IIci, and whether there is any practical difference? #VintageApple #Macintosh
just in case you weren't familiar with Dorling Kindersley Multimedia - the short-lived educational software division of the book company - its crowning achievement is this Macromedia Director-produced animated re-imagining of stephen biesty's Incredible Cross-Sections: Man-of-War
PPC/OS X users: has anyone come across successful builds of *recent* love2d (sdl2) binaries for PPC?
i'm fascinated by the possibility that exigy could be backported to the iMac G4/G5 and OS X 10.4 if i could just figure out a good way of distributing binaries.
I spent a good part of my afternoon just *using* this beautiful device, running Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). There is not much you can do with these anymore except write — but write you can.
I am in awe of the level of attention to detail and how carefully designed it was. And how fast this thing is on a shitty Intel Core 2 Duo with 2Gb RAM.
This is what they took from us… I wish you could use devices like this for real today.
Wait—was I just supposed to not bid when I saw an Apple ImageWriter I at auction? In my defense, it’s not my fault no one else bid higher. Now I’ve got both Apple ImageWriter I and II… and absolutely zero time to play with them.
something that's keeping me awake lately:
#Apple #iPhone 15 Pro Max has 6,9'' screen
Apple #Macintosh Classic has 9'' screen
2 inches between a good desktop size and a phone. Crazy.
I need #ADVICE from people smarter than me about backup drives for my MacBook Pro (Chip Apple M1, MacOs Sequoia 15.4) My ancient WD external hard drive is completely full and won't take any more of my files.
I bought a Samsung SSD T9 and it won't recognize Time Machine, so I'm returning it. (I spent way too much time trying to figure it out.)
What backup drive do you recommend that is compatible with Time Machine and will just plug-and-play like the good ol' days? 
lets build an open source NuBus synthesizer card! (i can write DSP code for a microcontroller but i have no idea where to even begin with NuBus ) #VintageApple #Macintosh
John Calhoun’s Lost Mac Games
While the original Mac isn't often considered a top gaming platform, there were neverthless some very nice games for it. One of those was John Calhoun's classic shareware title Glider. (Glider can be played on Infinite Mac's emulation of System 6—look in the Games folder in the Infinite Mac disk on the De

Reading rumors that Apple is planning a significant resdesign for the 20th anniversary iPhone.
All I'm saying is that they already have a high bar set for 20th anniversary product designs.
the interior of the cisco 2500 series is particularly interesting as it’s full of 90s era hardware. those are two 8mb and one 16mb 72-pin simms
rarely mentioned is the cpu that powers this little mighty mite: a motorola mc68ec030 - a 25 mhz embedded variant of the mc68030 cpu in a preponderance of macintosh 68k systems in the 90s.
this router is effectively more powerful than my mac LC 475
i picked this particular router for one reason: it supports AppleTalk right out of the box!
Anyone know what the CRT refresh rate on the original Mac / Fat Mac / Mac Plus is? 60Hz?

I am proud to announce that my Macintosh Magazine Media project has surpassed my self-imposed goal of 1 MILLION FILES, an achievement that fills me with both immense satisfaction and slight bewilderment. #marchintosh #macintosh #preservation #cdrom #files
