Why does this Mac always die?, by @ActionRetro
#MIDI interface from 1997 for both #macintosh and #Windows , something to play with, if it works.
#fleamarket
September 1984:
PCs get upgraded,
#MSX comes to Europe &
Coinop goes cartridge
These stories and many more on the latest episode of the VGNRTM!
these ~1000 page user guide / getting started books for MOTU Digital Performer 3 dont exist in digital form, afaik. if anyone with the resources to digitize them is interested, i would be happy to send them your way (ideally in Europe) #Macintosh #VintageApple #DigiPres

On the Frootloop Monkeytosh computer front the key thing is: AeroSpace: https://github.com/nikitabobko/AeroSpace
If you're a "tiling" Window Manager user like me then AeroSpace totally transforms the Mac experience. You can almost forget there's a mouse attached. It's all very familiar if you're an XMonad* user. It isn't quite perfectly seamless, but it's a whole other world of usability for me.
I've got quite a nice modernised setup working at the moment, with AeroSpace, iTerm2, Fish shell, Atuin shell history, and Neovim... still more to enhance, I've barely dipped my toe in with Neovim's capabilities (and currently have nothing like my old vim uber-config running, that's on the TODO list.)
* My dev-box window manager history is: WindowMakXer => FVWM => PWM => Ion => XMonad... admittedly this home desktop currently runs XFCE because I've never really needed it to be a hardcore coding environment.

Trying out some games from the MacPack (Internet Archive) and look what I ran across, a Defender clone called MacLanding.
I wonder if this guy did any more programming for the Mac?
tell me about your version control workflows for classic Mac development!
ive used git via MacRelix for things where only the data fork matters. but now i need resource forks too #VintageApple #Macintosh
While digging out my other Dreamcast to test its GD-ROM (other one might be bad and want to make sure it's not failing media), I found The Oregon Trail on floppy for Macintosh.
It still boots just fine and now I have a busy morning ahead fording rivers.

Macintosh II, A/UX и «ботинкоклюв» с выходом в интернет
На дворе 1994й год, Джей и Молчаливый Боб только начинают тусить « у фасада одного магазина » в Джерси, а компьютеры Apple продаются с настоящим юниксом . Увы, но 90е давно закончились, Джей и Боб постарели — внезапно Джею уже за 50 (и двое детей), зато осталась возможность оживить давно умершее и насладиться духом тех удивительных лет. Что мы сейчас и будем делать.

with the current state of the sound output, amplifying the IIci turns it into a pretty wild noise machine even before running any of my code 
but i did also get a very basic realtime thing going! woo
warning: loud #VintageApple #Macintosh #RetroComputing
i see 30-pin SIMM RAM comes in 60ns and 50ns latencies. anyone know if both are compatible with a Mac IIci, and whether there is any practical difference? #VintageApple #Macintosh

just in case you weren't familiar with Dorling Kindersley Multimedia - the short-lived educational software division of the book company - its crowning achievement is this Macromedia Director-produced animated re-imagining of stephen biesty's Incredible Cross-Sections: Man-of-War
Along with @tubetime 's thread this morning, here are some other pictures from #EFM aka #electronicsFleaMarket
Not as good as last month, but a couple of finds.

It might be a shitty computer but its peak Apple Design 
. Man I wish the Mac Studio would be like this.

This #iconic #8bit #retrocomputer #vector #illustration is a #resolutionindependent #tribute to the most sold #computer model, everrr. Until 1988 #Commodore sold more #C64 #homecomputers than all #IBM compatible #PC's combined. While the #DTP #revolution was in full swing on #Apple #Macintosh #computers, some school #newspapers been created with #Pagefox back then.

PixelfedITs History! (@gfkDSGN@pixelfed.social)1982 Commodore introduced the computer for the masses not the classes...
“It writes, rates, creates, even telecommunicates. Costs less does more — the #Commodore64”
This outstanding #homecomputer came with #8bit #MOS6510 #CPU, 64KB RAM and #BASIC. Initially the #C64 was sold for a little under 600 bucks, but competition was brutal in the #8bit-war. https://youtu.be/E9nDsIvUto4
With prices dropping #Commodore sold two million units annually and had a market share up to 40% in the US until 1986.
At one point, the company was selling as many C64s as the rest of the industry combined.
Even when #IBM #PC 5150 compatible #16bit systems changed that in 1988, the #C=64 became highest-selling computer model of all time.
