Yeah my AEK was likely never cleaned either - huge hunks of grime inside. I removed every key, soaked them and scrubbed each one clean with a toothbrush. I then carefully cleaned around the switches with some cue tips and alcohol. I got my ADB to USB adapter from this site...

There's a great synopsis of the different switches that Apple used over the years here: https://deskthority.net/wiki/Apple_Extended_Keyboard_II

Hi all, I finally got some time off work, so I took the opportunity to clean up some Apple Extended Keyboards I had. They turned out almost immaculate! The AEK II was from 1989, and was in pretty good condition already, but the original AEK was badly yellowed and really filthy. My...

Well done! It looks great and thank you for the detailed steps. Maybe you should try out the MacPlayer Spotify client? (https://github.com/antscode/MacPlayer) :tongue:  You're probably the only other person in the world apart for me who's got the MacWifi extension working with OpenWRT  :grin...

Hey @stormy sorry for the delay, unfortunately life has gotten in the way of all my hobbies! It's great to hear you got the wifi menu working with OpenWRT, please post a screenshot! I don't think the DNS issues will be too sinister, I'll fire up my Mac today and check my settings. But can you...

@10001001sos can you remind me of your OS version and how much RAM you have? I'll then try testing from my end.

I use Windows 10. Getting Networking alive in Basilisk II on Windows is a piece of cake. Unfortunately I know next to nothing about Linux sorry.

I have a Colour Classic so yeah it would be possible for me to make a cast of the CRT. But I'm curious why you'd want to replace the Trinitron screen with a TFT? It will undoubtedly not look as good. The LCD I sourced for my SE/30 project was pretty good, but still nowhere near as good as the...

That is awesome!! Well done!!!  8-o 8-)

Sure - PM me and we can sort something out.

Hi all, thanks for your ongoing interest - however, I've decided not to continue with this project. As cool as it was to see a colour screen in an SE/30 - for me personally I feel the original B&W CRT is a big part of what makes these old machines so special. Staring at an LCD in a SE/30...

Thanks @Crutch and great work on releasing your screensaver. I'm using Retro68 which is a gcc cross compiler on my Windows 10 laptop. It's using C++ 11, which I believe the full library is over 10mb - so I think it's already only including the bits it needs. It just shows how software gets more...

The simplest thing would be to rewrite it in C - that'd probably get it down to about 200k...

That's the problem. The extension itself is over 2mb in size, and it's memory requirement is set to 4mb. On a SE/30 with 128mb of RAM that's of course not an issue, but I didn't realise the SE's maximum memory was so low! The reason the extension is so big is due to a combination of factors...

How much RAM is in your SE?
