Got some new books…
These turned up cheap on AU eBay and I had recently been using the 'Text' book online while writing my font suitcase parser. That was the only one I was looking for, but couldn't pass up acquiring the whole set. The seller was the original buyer in the 90s.
Made it home after #VCFEast2025 to find the new issue of Juiced.GS in the mailbox. 
the interior of the cisco 2500 series is particularly interesting as it’s full of 90s era hardware. those are two 8mb and one 16mb 72-pin simms
rarely mentioned is the cpu that powers this little mighty mite: a motorola mc68ec030 - a 25 mhz embedded variant of the mc68030 cpu in a preponderance of macintosh 68k systems in the 90s.
this router is effectively more powerful than my mac LC 475
i picked this particular router for one reason: it supports AppleTalk right out of the box!
There are still some @polpo PicoGUS cards left, but it looks like I snagged the last ImageScribbler LocalSquawk board at the #VCFEast2025 consignment store.
Anyone know what the CRT refresh rate on the original Mac / Fat Mac / Mac Plus is? 60Hz?
I don't think I've ever seen a #HyperCard stack with nearly 4000 cards in it before! Amazing that it works as well as it does!
Deater's take on the first parts of the Atari XL/XE "Rewind 2" demo on the enhanced 128K Apple IIe with Mockingboard.
Happy 49th anniversary, Apple!
The Dialup Café's marchintosh globaltalk node says goodnight for another year! thank you to all of the goofballs that dumped calling cards in the shared folder.
i sadly was able contribute very little to the festivities this year due to a chain of random illnesses. next year i am very much looking forward to having a lot more fun!
and of course, the globaltalk kiki at https://globaltalk.network will remain up permanently for your contributions. the editing password is marchintosh2025, and welcomes your new pages and macintosh knowledge.
It looks like LocalTalk Bridge stopped working and my ImageWriter dropped off the network some time earlier today. I got the AsanteTalk working again by replacing the power supply and the printer is back online, hopefully it stays up longer now
On the day after March, the lovely 3D printed boot floppy icons I won from @pierrenick arrived! This is definitely going on my bag, thank you so much!! That is some surely convincing tractor-feed paper!
@tomjennings i had no idea he wrote this manual. it is one of the best technical manuals i’ve ever used - and recently!
rest in peace scot. your contributions won’t be forgotten in this house.
Tried the o-rings on the color cart - it worked great for 2 pages of self-test but on a real print it flaked out
Trying to print a banner using Print Shop Pro Deluxe 1.1.1 and MacPalette II but having issues...
No matter if I choose portrait or landscape or no gaps between pages in Page Setup, it prints each page in portrait, meaning it's not actually a continuous banner.
Using the standard ImageWriter driver it works fine, but half the graphics are missing due to the lack of proper half-toning (and I won't be able to do color when I get that ribbon fixed)
Has anyone gotten this working?
so im running my listing generator on this collection https://archive.org/details/Apple_Developer_Discs_1989-2009 but it turns out i cant get into a lot of these disk images 
many of them are .mdf (why..) so im using mdf2iso and then hdiutil. sometimes mdf2iso says "unknown format", other times that works but hdiutil says "no mountable file systems" and im not really sure what to do with that.
guess i have to try daemon tools next. was hoping to avoid it since it needs a kernel extension #MARCHintosh #VintageApple
it's 2025. how have we not yet reverse-engineered the After Dark module engine?

as a little #marchintosh gift to my LC 475, i just received an After Dark module i've lusted for since i was 13 years old: More After Dark
when i was in junior high school, the biggest losers of our grade - including myself - all packed into a tiny office in the school band room during our lunch hour
the "band office" had a Macintosh LC II on the desk, which was *supposed* to be for students learning how to use Band-in-a-Box MIDI software. in the six years i spent in that school, i never once saw a student use it
what we were after was, instead, Lunatic Fringe: a thoughtful riff on Continuum (or perhaps, Sinistar) that would load randomly using the After Dark randomizer module.
it took 30+ years for me to figure out that Lunatic Fringe wasn't a standard AD module and came in its own pack with 24 other awesome modules.
it finally arrived today 
TAM alert! Someone needs to buy this, get it working, and connect it to #GlobalTalk before #MARCHintosh ends! #VintageApple #VintageMac #RetroMac #RetroComputing https://shopgoodwill.com/item/225304640
