You have an old Mac with an AAUI port. I have an adapter to allow you to actually use it.

There was a big Elden Ring mod release today - Reforged 2.0, one of those big remix type mods with reworked environments, new bosses, etc.

www.nexusmods.com/eldenring/mods/541

Pretty slick trailer! And it has both custom matchmaking and seamless co-op support.

In 1997 Steve Jobs returned to Apple and silently killed this unreleased version of Mac OS. It remained a mystery... until NOW! 💿

My weekend project was trying out #PicoIDE on my Amiga 1200. It mostly works, just needs a few tweaks. Thanks to the Amiga community who knows this machine way better than I do!

Want a piece of my tech collection? I'm reorganizing my office and need to find new homes for a variety of stuff -- some newer, some older. I posted a thread with the details over at Tinker Different: tinkerdifferent.com/threads/the-great-tdnc-garage-sale.4783/

Just this year, Minnesota has ranked:

A top 10 state for safety.

A top 5 state to live in.

A top 3 state for jobs.

A top 3 state to retire.

The 2nd best state to raise a family.

The 2nd best state for children.

A bet against Minnesota is a bad bet.

@sharkabytes.bsky.social posted about The Dig's soundtrack earlier today, which made me feel like firing the game up on the PicoIDE (coming soon 😉) - this really takes me back!

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.

Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.

If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

A tease of something amazingly exciting... Mac OS 8 for CHRP PowerPC systems! 😳

I'm working to get this CD archived properly... (along with it's friends) 💿

Super thankful to the amazing people who helped make this happen. ❤️

Humongous 68K Collection

macintoshgarden.org/apps/humongous-68k-collection

I have created a self-booting (System 7.5.5) image with most or all (?) of the 68K compatible games from Humongous Entertainment, complete with a Launcher. This should be a drop-in for any BlueSCSI

Well, as you can see, it booted my image file from the BlueSCSI. I've never been happier to see a Windows splash screen 😂

Mmmm. Been busy as hell today but hey, I got one of my longstanding to do projects done which was to add an LED base to the Cube’s new chassis. Printed it in clear PETG so it looks pretty cool.

Some shots of my blue & yellow CatMac Mini SE from jcm-1.com/product/catmac-mini-case-se-edition-3d-print-service/.
Thanks to @ronscompvids.bsky.social & @gutbomb.net for the concept & design and to @museumjoe.bsky.social collection of Magnificent Printing Machines at jcm-1.com.
Now I just need a small blue & yellow LCD to use with it.

Oh. yay. Another faux opensource vintage solution that costs an arm and a leg and hides simple in a binary blob and closed hardware. /s

Yes! BlueSCSI works on PC's but a lot of people don't realize it. Watch
TME Retro setup their PC with a #BlueSCSI

I wonder if Microsoft secretly wants everyone to switch to Linux. There are certainly fewer reasons to stick to Windows every day: www.theverge.com/news/793579/microsoft-windows-11-local-account-bypass-workaround-changes
