Installed an internal BlueSCSI hard drive in my Mac LCIII tonight. I bought the BS at VCF-MW in Sep from @museumjoe.bsky.social. Decided to play a little Sim City #mac #macintosh #retrocomputing Thanks @bluescsi.com!

I got a Macintosh Quadra 950 video editing computer at VCFMW, but I haven't opened it up. Since @mac84.bsky.social 's latest stream, I'm worried that the battery leaked. Let's pop it open Wednesday at 3:30 eastern and back up the harddrive with BlueSCSI initiator mode. youtube.com/live/oA7H7Tt...

This weekend I implemented command passthrough to #PicoIDE over SMART Command Transport (which is done via creative use of the SMART log get/set commands). This way you can get status of the PicoIDE, load disc/disk images, etc., and being implemented with SMART means it works in user mode in Windows

I put together an electronics kit + book intended as a gentle introduction to transistors and early computer logic gates (resistor-transistor logic or RTL).
I set up a Tindie store page for the little over a dozen I have readied. (I'll create a web site soon.)
