Peter Fletcher<p>Welp, my <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/GlobalTalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GlobalTalk</span></a> Quadra 650 is going dark for the rest of the <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/MARCHintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MARCHintosh</span></a> due to what I assume is onboard VRAM failure. <br>Turned on the monitor today and the screen was a jumbled mess. Restart didn't help. Removed external VRAM and got a picture, but it is shaky &amp; keeps losing either R, G or B.</p>

andy diller<p>You know those were just different times when a purchase of essentially a phone connector included the connector, a terminator, an extra resistor, RJ11 cabling _AND_ a 93 page manual that showed you how to set up an entire network of devices.</p><p>Times have changed - maybe that is why <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/marchintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>marchintosh</span></a> seems so magical to many of us.</p>

Karl Baron<p>One thing some of us have been playing with on <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/GlobalTalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GlobalTalk</span></a> this <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/MARCHintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MARCHintosh</span></a> is LACS, an AppleTalk chat system</p><p>But LACS isn't just another chat app - it's deep Apple lore. LACS started out at Apple as "RumorMonger", an experiment in decentralized chat. But this was back when Apple was heavily dysfunctional, full of project fiefdoms and yearly layoffs, so an anonymous bullhorn like this could really go crazy, leading to it spreading like wildfire.</p><p>This explains the sternly-worded dialog...</p><p><a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/mb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mb</span></a></p>

Scott Small 🇨🇦<p>Update on the <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/MARCHintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MARCHintosh</span></a> Miracle Power Mac 6500:</p><p>The new PRAM battery arrived yesterday! So I pulled out the motherboard, installed the new battery, reinserted the motherboard, and decided to test the system before re-assembling it. And... it worked! 🎉</p><p>I then pulled the motherboard out again, cleaned it off with some compressed air, cleaned out the rest of the case, reinstalled the motherboard, painstakingly re-assembled the case, broke some more plastic, put it all back together and powered it up again... and no video 😡</p><p>Unsure of what to do, I removed and reinstalled the motherboard again. And it worked! 🤯</p><p>So now I'm wondering, maybe the PRAM battery being dead never was the cause of the video issues. Maybe the motherboard just wasn't seated in its slot correctly all this time? In any case, it seems to start up reliably with video now.</p><p>I decided not to bother with a new internal hard drive for now. Instead, I bought a ZuluSCSI* Mini Slim (<a href="https://decromancer.ca/zuluscsi/index.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">decromancer.ca/zuluscsi/index.</span><span class="invisible">html</span></a>), attached it to the SCSI port on the back of the machine, and am using that as the primary hard drive for now, instead of the giant noisy LaCie drive that this machine came with.</p><p>Lots of stuff I want to do with this thing - but for now I don't want to get too distracted, and continue with my software archiving task instead.</p><p>(* I would have bought a BlueSCSI, but their Canadian manufacturer doesn't have any DB25 models in stock right now.)</p>
dan 💾<p>[UPDATE: Entries now closed, stay tuned for the draw!]</p><p>It's the equinox tomorrow, which means that soon it will stop getting dark here for a few months.</p><p>Let's celebrate with a <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/MARCHintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MARCHintosh</span></a> giveway! </p><p>Reply to this toot with ‘toot toot' for a chance to win a few super-shiny <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/LiveLaughLocalTalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LiveLaughLocalTalk</span></a> stickers!</p><p>The hat-o-matic will pick three winners tomorrow, 20 March.

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸<p>I am so envious of the <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/marchintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>marchintosh</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/globaltalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>globaltalk</span></a> folks! So cool!!</p>
adafruit<p>Audio on the hardware we're emulating is pretty straightforward: every scanline of the video generator also outputs one byte of PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) data. We have 370 horizontal lines—352 visible and 18 during the vsync—at a 60.15 Hz refresh rate, producing approximately 22.255 kHz audio. <br><a href="https://mastodon.cloud/tags/marchintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>marchintosh</span></a></p>
data<p>Ok, I take that back. It has some weird boot issues. With certain disk images (using BlueSCSI 1), it only boots if extensions are disabled, otherwise, it gets stuck while loading the desktop. The internal disk only works when the BlueSCSI is connected but still gets stuck at the desktop. Sometimes, the system reboots multiple times when using the internal disk. I need to read up on common issues with this machine.</p><p> <a href="https://slayers.online/tags/Marchintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Marchintosh</span></a></p>
