jrouter stat for connected known peers for the last 2 days as #MARCHintosh winds down. I had planned on leaving the raspberry pi with jrouter running even though I won’t have my vintage machines powered on 24/7 until next March.

Hi. So, it's a couple of days too late for #MARCHintosh, but I've got #HyperCard busy controlling the QuickCam now. And that's also how we can tell that midnight is quickly approaching.
I just released a PDF manual and strategy guide for Shark Turtle

https://jonthysell.com/2021/03/23/my-mac-se-30-part-iii-motherboard-and-drives/ has a bunch of helpful info, but nothing about how the "fiddly bit" of disconnecting the motherboard cables was accomplished. Big dumb fingers man (me) would have been helped by some hints.
Also realizing I'm getting going on this just too late for #MARCHintosh - alas!
Jon Thysell · My Mac SE/30 Part III: Motherboard and DrivesIt’s #MARCHintosh, a time for retro-computing enthusiasts to celebrate their passion for classic macs. In Part II of this series I took my first look at my newly acquired Macintosh SE/30. I’d…

Only a few hours after the official end of #MARCHintosh, I got this masterpiece from @1Bit
The official end of #MARCHintosh at #WOzFest HQ #GlobalTalk Print Shop was marked by this poignant print from @kalleboo, sent 20 minutes before the end of March, Anywhere on Earth.
While March is officially over, #GlobalTalk lives on, even during its relative 11 month hibernation between MARCHintoshes.

Here are all of the printouts I received on #GlobalTalk for #MARCHintosh! Thank you everyone!
The #GlobalTalk prints keep coming in! First up today is both ImageWriter and "LaserWriter" renderings of @1Bit's updated MacPaint masterpiece. There are several new details inside the room in this version, but what really stands out to me is the trees and careful shading in the mountain scene. Beautiful work!
Even though #MARCHintosh is over, I'm planning to keep my Zone online for the foreseeable future.
It runs on two RaspberryPis (netatalk, jrouter, tashtalk and QEMU) that are relatively low upkeep and I like seeing all the other zones in Chooser when using my Mac Plus and Basilik VMs.

Whomever spent the month of #MARCHintosh trying to print PDF files to ImageWriter printers, you owe me about 7lbs of wasted tractor feed paper LOL

"SHELL YEAH! GO GRAB IT"
#MARCHintosh retrospective:
- My Green SE was running the entire month minus a short work trip
- My G3 iMac was used to visit zones and explore
- I was able to get the SE/30 to be stable with a new logic board and rebuilt the floppy
- Explored zones at the beginning of the month, the middle, and then the last day of March
- Tracked 113 zones, left calling cards on 65, received 15
- Picked up a beige G3 desktop
Special Thanks:
@europlus - help with AIR and testing
@kalleboo - Talk Crawler
@DrJosh9000 - jrouter
@nikdoof - Grafana dashboard for jrouter
@RonsCompVids @mac84tv @MuseumJoe and the entire @MARCHintosh community for making the event special
——
Ideas for next year:
- setup the SE/30 to boot 7.1, 7.5, and 7.6
- add an accelerator to the SE/30
- get the G3 desktop up and running as a file store
- alternatively, setup a netatalk AFP server
- build a second SE/30 with the MacEffects clear case and the zigzagjoe LCD conversion
- get more into the software dev side of things and explore cool programs
