Getting down to the wire for #vcfmw!

I’ve been frantically building boxes and printing, matte finishing, and cutting covers for the game and editor manuals tonight.

Next print labels and burn CDs whilst printing the manual contents.

Then bind the manuals and box everything up.

Eeek!

Did you have trouble with the floppy drive? Mine was toast so I reused the space for a CF hard drive slot.

Took a bit of a break from the game to design a 3D printer model of a universal equatorial ring sundial this weekend.

I did a similar restoration to a Toshiba Satellite T1910. Recapped power circuit and PSU. Pulled the dead floppy drive and replaced the bezel with a CF adapter. Nice little machine.

A suggestion from the Adventure! Quality Assurance Squad was to add a certificate of some sort to the game.

Recapped this lovely PS/2 trackball/mouse for my L40 SX laptop. It’s an odd beast that is a bit awkward as a trackball - I don’t care for the button placement. And unusable when converted to mouse mode.

It does work now so that’s nice.

#Macintosh SE/30 ready to go. Clean with #BlueSCSI, #retrobrite, and recap.

Used the brush on technique with SalonCare 30 Volume Creme Developer. Requires brushing a bit more on every 15 minutes to prevent streaking for about 90 minutes in the sun.

Adding a bit of Coban around the middle helps.
