What?! #Appril2, you say?!

I'd better get back to work!!

I was trying to figure out how to correctly install a math co-processor FPU in my #VintageApple #MacLC III.

Here is a TikerDifferent.com discussion that had good photos of how to align the chip for installation.

In full swing working on my #MARCHintosh #MacLC III restoration.

Hoping to have my restore video posted by the end of the month.

My #MARCHintosh2023 project is coming a long nicely, thanks to #BlueSCSI v1!

Here's my #MacLC III booting off of a BlueSCSI using a disk image I created in #BasiliskII on my #MacStudio.

For #MARCHintosh2023, I’m working on restoring a #MacLC III. During that restoration, I need to replace the original Quantum SCSI drive with a #BlueSCSI v1.

If your recollection of SCSI details from Mac that you used in the 1990s is a bit foggy - like mine is - you will want to read this brief clip from the Apple Introduction to SCSI Concepts, Chapter 3:

Since it’s #MARCHintosh 2023 and since I have a #MacLC III to service, I decided to buy myself a soldering iron and desoldering pump so I can swap out the caps in the power supply.

Fingers crossed! This will be my first recapping job.

New Video!

In this Pre #Marchintosh2023 video, I service an #Apple 12" RGB monitor from 1990 for use with a #MacLC III.

Come watch the roller coaster ride of will he or won’t he repair this monitor.

I'm going to take my first run at servicing a #VintageApple 12-inch RGB Display today.

Nothing too crazy, I'm going to try to swap the guts from a damaged case into a good (yellowed) case. I'll have to leave a recap for another time.

If you have one of these monitors for your #MacLC computer, here is a good resource that I found.

Prototype of a MicroSD extension holder for the #Macintosh #LCII & #LCIII.

Made with #OpenSCAD of course.

Disregard the color, I need to get the proper RAL filament.
