New (actually short) short showing really fun wiggling from a Mac Classic. I bet @thetechknight.bsky.social knows exactly what component on the analog board went. youtube.com/shorts/AbTY0...

Transfer Point is a point-and-click adventure game for Macintosh. It was made in World Builder and MacPaint, and it fits on an 800K floppy disk. It also has an egret. Coming soon for most web browsers, or as a download to play on your classic Mac. robotspacer.software/transfer-poi... #MARCHintosh

Zero time to work on my Macs this past weekend, too busy. Also pushed myself too hard and body started rebelling on me. Slept all yesterday, still very tired, fatigued. At least crackedmac.ddns.net is still online and seems to be stable, over 100 visitors!

Here's my second #MARCHintosh project for 2026 - TalkCrawler Lite! A little app to keep track of which #GlobalTalk printers and shares you've visited or left a greeting on! I rushed this one out so I can get to using it, so it's less polished than Chat, and […] [Original post on bitbang.social]

The power of starting with one single helpful thing we can do competently on behalf of others is not to be underestimated. I started fixing dumpster-dived computers for my neighbors in need back in 2023; three years later it's a 501(c)(3) providing free devices and free digital skills education.

I gotta admit, I'm pretty excited about this one. Bob "Dr. Macintosh" LeVitus is one of my favorite tech writers. Books, newspapers, magazines, blogs... you too have no doubt read his work. He helped folks keep the faith even in some of the darkest times! youtu.be/BCHMHAiCaMk

Three generations of PowerMac, G3, G4, and G5, some of Apple’s best case designs #MARCHintosh

My First #MARCHintosh video of the Year is out! youtu.be/rjN4kAmt8WQ?...

I guess my new unexpected #marchintosh project is to fix this BlueSCSI I have that arrived DoA back when I bought it. One of the pins is not connected through, so one bit of each byte is wrong. Is there a pinout for these from pi->DB25 to help me buzz out the pins?

My first #MARCHintosh casualty 🫡 @theirongiant#marchintoshguided me through some percussive maintenance but he's dead, Jim.

AppleTalk router crashed and cut the Mac Plus off from the internet. Got the router back online, but it wouldn’t pass traffic. Just as I was about to post about it and take a break, it started working. #MARCHintosh

You know it’s #MARCHintosh when you walk past the basement stair and wonder what’s wrong with the furnace blower and suddenly remember you’re on #GlobalTalk and someone is printing to your ImageWriter II.

The Cracked Mac Plus survived the bot onslaught and is still, slowly, serving its web site. It saw about 30 visitors since last night. Visit at crackedmac.ddns.net:8080 or crackedmac.ddns.net

Cracked Mac Website hosted on my ‘cracked’ Macintosh Plus is online at both crackedmac.ddns.net and crackedmac.ddns.net It’s not fast, but it works 😄 #MARCHintosh

Don’t have my PowerBook 165 on the network yet, thus I pulled out the 3400c to update the website hosted on my Mac Plus #MARCHintosh

Kicking off #MARCHintosh with the smallest Mac ever: the Pico Micro Mac! Check out the video on Level 2 Jeff: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gOS...

Someone is REALLY unhappy that I woke them up after too many years in storage for #MARCHintosh . 😬

If you are playing along with #MARCHintosh and you need modern Wi-Fi support for an old computer, I recommend this: the VONETS VAP11G-300 Wi-Fi Bridge. Set up in a web browser, connect it to Ethernet and USB (for power), and it's transparent. Only downside is the blinky lights.

Sending Mac vibes for #MARCHintosh

Progress made! The Performa 476 got a fresh System 7.1 install along with the Appletalk Router and Gateway Managers. Everything is configured and seems to be working. Plan to finish tonight 😄 #MARCHintosh

Want a hardware-y way to get your ImageWriter II up on #GlobalTalk in time for #MARCHintosh? Last year I reverse engineered Apple’s LocalTalk option card and made the design available, naming it ImageScribbler: github.com/polpo/images... and pre-built ones are for sale: jcm-1.com/product/imag...

Getting close to having the Cracked Mac Plus back online. All the working disk images I've found boot 7.5, not 7.1. Digging out a CDROM or my FloppyEmu and installing System 7.1 next, hopefully tonight. #MARCHintosh

microdiskette

Wires found, everything connected, Mac Plus troubleshot and booting, AppleTalk gateway offline … misplaced the drive for it and haven’t found the right image yet 😆 #MARCHintosh

Instead of turning a clock into a vintage Mac, I turned a vintage Mac into a clock!, I though it would be fun given its #MARCHintosh The program can be downloaded here: github.com/retrotheory/... It supports US/EU month day order AM/PM, Invert display, 'grey' background and alarm function

Why spend $10 on an ATX breakout board when you can instead spend 10 hours with spare parts to make your own?

For Globaltalk, in Marchintosh 2026. 18.5 hours, 1 bit, black and white only. (Original .pict on a bunch of your globaltalk servers)

It’s been a few years, it is past time to get this cracked Mac Plus back online. #MARCHintosh

One day before the start of #MARCHintosh and the polpo zone and its ImageWriter II are back on #GlobalTalk! About 5 minutes after getting online I got a letter from John Sculley himself. I’m honored

#MARCHintosh starts in less than 48 hours! Get your legally protected parody t-shirts ready!

Introducing my first #MARCHintosh project - #GlobalTalk Chat 1.0! Now re-written from the ground-up as a native Mac Toolbox application in C. You can get it NOW on “Blackbird” or “landisk” in the “BaroNet” zone on GlobalTalk. #RetroComputing #mb… (1/3)

It's #MARCHintosh again! (How to participate in MARCHintosh) youtu.be/EXeosjniPR0

Our second Build-a-PC workshop was a huge success! MASSIVE THANKS to Kristina D’Amours from WWLP22 News for coming down and sharing in our amazing students’ perspectives as they gain tech literacy that will support them far into their future career paths! youtu.be/gJJ6-Htpqyw

Our second gaming PC build class is underway! Students too young to remember spinning rust hard drives are getting a simultaneous history lesson AND inside look! HUGE THANKS to the Massachusetts Cultural Council and the Springfield Rotary Club for helping make this happen!!

A tease of something fun... debuting this #MARCHintosh with a Big Bang! 💥

Please join us at Make-It Springfield this upcoming Wednesday February 18th at 4:30 PM for a look at our students’ incredible DIY computer projects! Students will showcase their AMAZING Gaming PC builds! Press welcome! 📸 Visit springfield.community for more info!

The local Wendy’s customized my drink today. I try to be friendly, and have a few catch phrases I use with certain actions or situations. It shows! Remember: be nice. You never know what kind of impact you may have on someone’s day, or life. It would be great if that impact was positive.

Hey folks. I read that Rosemary is good for memory. Will it help this stick of OCZ memory? youtube.com/shorts/ocROf...

Hello folks, so I have run these 4 motherboards through my ultrasonic cleaner. Will they now work or have the same issues? The stream starts tonight at 7pm eastern. youtube.com/live/JTmla1C...

I am passing along praise for the great work of @eric.scsi.blue and his team that continue to make the @bluescsi.com a wonder. I’ve used almost every iteration, and the innovation, documentation, support, and overall attention to detail are superb. My vintage Macs love their BlueSCSIs!

#BlueSCSI v2026.02.08 - HUGE release * 16-bit Ultra Wide SCSI * CD audio S/PDIF/I2S * Fragmented images are fast now! * SCA drive bay * 11.5x BlueSCSI Toolbox speed boost * SCSI bus timing fixes * 520-byte sector imaging * No Arduino deps * 2287 unit test assertions & more github.com/BlueSCSI/Blu...

Hey you! You look like you need to look at an old computer

My #Atari is a Coleco Gemini 😜! 4-player Warlords on an anachronistic Trinitron with a UNO cart.

My dog took a nap on my subwoofer. He can be a silly boy 😆

i love this whole project so much i wrote about it here:

#C64 #Kouyate #RPG progress: before working on the fire and lava dungeon, decided to extend the Dwarven mines a little, so worked on that this evening and got it hooked into the game. Basically, there's now a back entrance to the mines that leads else where in the world...🤔 Oh, let me show you...

this is not normal but it is special in its own way

Doesn’t look like much now, but after being used as storage for the last couple of years this room is in the beginning stages of becoming a dedicated vintage computer lab. Progress is slow but steady.
