Why not a blue LED for the BlueSCSI-equipped IIci?

#PicoGUS can now emulate Sound Blaster 16 with the newly released firmware v4.0.0! Other changes include CD-ROM speed and reliability improvements, GUS mode improvements, and more. Check the full changelog and download the release at github.com/polpo/picogu...

oh cool, the scumbag CEO of stickermule is using the company's (former) customer list to spam his political junk the unsubscribe link even goes to a stickermule\.com URL just a reminder that stickermule sucks

For Apple's 50th anniversary let's explore super rare prototypes, collectables, and never released systems at the new iNSPIRE exhibit at the MIMMS museum! 🍏 youtu.be/gQM09mjg9ws #Apple50thAnniversary

Veronica shares some BlueSCSI love in this video - installing LinuxPPC on a 9600 (one of my favorite Macs!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClvE...

Last night I installed Windows XP from a PicoIDE so I could test the PicoGUS’s new Sound Blaster 16 support (which should be releasing imminently) in XP

Thank you to everyone who participated in this year's #MARCHintosh event celebrating all things Macintosh! Consider leaving your #GlobalTalk servers up for a few more days to capture any remaining greetings, and keep the spirit of community and innovation in your heart the whole year round!

Random SyQuest disk find of the day: AOL for Macintosh source code from 1993!? Whaaatttt?! 😳 Look at those original icons with the Apple logo in them! #ArchiveEverything

i didn’t have a large enough printer to make it all in one go, so instead embraced the sections and printed them in different colours thus creating the JLPGA Cat Mac 😁

Decades ago, it was possible to build your own Mac using spare parts and generic PC components. Given the tools and options available to vintage computing enthusiasts today, let’s see what happens when old meets new! youtu.be/RUUVNi_X8w8

Lawyers for the woman who was held more than five months before charges were dropped said the press conference confirmed their findings. “It appears that the Fargo Police Department did not undertake basic investigative efforts before causing a warrant and charges to issue for Angela Lipps."

PicoMicroMac is back in stock! Get one soon - they're gonna go fast! jcm-1.com/product/pi...

Bluescsi ultra acquired!

Even a broken @home-assistant.io assistant is right once a day

My geeky heart is so full today 💚 I got to visit the new Apple exhibit at MIMMS and spent time with some of my favorite people. What an amazing place, so many things I’ve never seen before, and so many wonderful folks! 😍 #mimmsmuseum #byte26 mimmsmuseum.org

To my amazement, the original SCSI HDD was still operational on this computer! Thanks to BlueSCSI's Initiator mode, I was able to make a perfect image of it. An external BlueSCSI from @museumjoe.bsky.social now uses this image along with many others. Always great to see another Mac restored! 3/

When I said #PicoGUS wasn’t being left behind, I wasnt joking! This is a regular ol’ PicoGUS being a Sound Blaster 16, detected and working in Windows 98:

wow this fan-made Marathon Timeline website is incredible timeline.bumgie.org

Step 1 build a HA setup with a pi4 Step 2 have issues and then everyone yells at you for running HA on a pi4

I'M FAMOUS! Thanks, @cathoderaydude.bsky.social! youtu.be/qicQUvSUbPM?...

Reviving a sad Macintosh Plus for #MARCHintosh and its 40th. Playing games, exploring drives, letting it moonlight as a big Maclock, and hopping online with a BlueSCSI. Watch - youtu.be/qFYbTqF4pmM

And with those repairs done, another big one is off the queue! I guess this is my #MARCHintosh, doing recaps and stuff for other people. Not that I mind. This job was three analog boards, two Sony caddy drives, and a Mac TV logic board.

Figured it was time to solder up this external @bluescsi.com from @museumjoe.bsky.social to try out on the lciii for #marchintosh. Now let's see if I can get on #globaltalk. 😆

Friend to Macintoshes everywhere @mac84.bsky.social has put the PicoIDE through a gauntlet of vintage IDE-equipped Macs (and a couple PCs for good measure)! See how it fared: youtu.be/e00F8KIFc6A

The PicoIDE is a new open source CD/DVD & HD emulator for vintage IDE/ATA computers. Let's see how it works in some Macs! 🍎 (...and PCs too) Video: youtu.be/e00F8KIFc6A #PicoIDE #MARCHintosh

New Video: The PicoIDE is a brand new IDE optical and hard drive emulator for classic computers. Based on the Raspberry Pi RP2350 and ESP32, it's easy to use, open source, low cost, fully featured, and set to be an absolute game changer for the vintage computing hobby. youtu.be/MG_t0Ti3_rY

LGR has a video out covering my #PicoIDE project and the ZuluIDE. We are officially in a awesome new era of drive emulators! youtu.be/td6QdOnMvnk

The excellent front panel by @polpo.org working on a BlueSCSI. Standard #gotek for scale 😜 #picoide #bluescsi @bluescsi.com

In less than 3 hours, Return to Dark Castle makes a "return" to Steam, launches TODAY. I'm a rabid fan of the original DC and Beyond DC from the b&w mac days. I'm excited to play this entry - never had the platform for it when it released Precision platform with cartoon humor! 14.99 USD 1st 2 weeks!

Ron McAdams & I chatted about my Mac game Pararena—published by Casady & Greene around 1992 (youtu.be/QpK6fYYr-6o). Was reminded that Michael (Greene) was not pleased with my proposed splash screen. (I had to move the figure down.) (He would have really disliked what AI did to it.) #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

Give github.com/retrotheory/... BigMaclock a try, It supports dynamic pixel sizing so you can run it on a larger screen. #MARCHintosh

Second #MARCHintosh project is up - a defrag utility for SD Cards (who had new defrag utility on their 2026 bingo card?) tinkerdifferent.com/threads/new-...

It's #Marchintosh 2026! I've created a thread over on tinkerdifferent to capture all the projects. Reply here or there and I'll keep it updated as best I can. tinkerdifferent.com/threads/marc... #MARCHintosh #globaltalk #vintagemac

#MARCHintosh RC2 for our Ultra devices and updates for BlueSCSI v2's as well! * Speed improvements from @jcs.org * Special Amiga WiFi device by @robsmithdev.bsky.social * Fixed SD Updates * And more! github.com/BlueSCSI/Blu...

The incredible Jack68k made a piece of software that is almost a Tech Step (with potentially more flexibility) for those of us that can’t afford an actual Tech Step. Total game changer for those of us that work on old Macs! tinkerdifferent.com/threads/reco... reconnaissanceapp.com

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

Whoops, I missed my chance to make the “640% should be enough for everybody” joke. But it’s obviously not enough because the PicoIDE campaign keeps going. 6 days left! I’m blown away by how far it’s come. BTW the last update I posted brought even more people with weird systems out of the woodwork!

ICE activity continues to interrupt daily life for students, staff and families, despite the announced end of the two-month surge of federal immigration agents. Students attend school remotely, staff monitor arrival and dismissal, and leaders wonder when they can resume normal school operations.

#bluescsi backup chugging right along…

I'm working to upload some Desk Accessories I found for #MARCHintosh. However, some of them won't open, I get an error -50. Looking up -50 I can see "paramErr, Error in user parameter list". And if using Font/DA mover (Sys6) it says it's damaged. Is there anyway to fix this, or are they corrupt? 🤔

So how do I get my money back?

The DayStar Genesis MP is just begging to be filled with SCSI drives. Who am I to deny it? 👀 #BlueSCSI #shenanigans #MacClone
