    Finally got around to hooking the Mac up to the headset. Latency isn't bad, but is noticeable compared to the 165Hz display. Cats might have damaged that display too (this is the third curved display I think they messed up)

    Happy to find out that there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with my 475, just the VGA adapter. Sad I'm stuck at 640x480 now, though.

    Woah, stabbed my replacement distributor on the 'ole Mustang and got it right on stock timing.

    Anybody have any experience with those USB to ADB adapters about everywhere. Any latency to them?

    I've got the BOMW Wombat and haven't had trouble playing vertical 'shmups and the like.

    The Wombat has latency but it’s very minor, I only noticed it when playing a game on my PC where low latency is important. You’d never notice it on the day to day.

    I was part of the way into modifying PS/2 to ADB code for an AVR (or Arduino), using a proper interrupt-driven state machine. I think it would be possible to do a USB to ADB version using an ATMEGA32U4 (ie. Arduino nano) that way.

    I don't know why, but I remember Basilisk as being cludgy and crash-prone. I used the hda images from my ZuluSCSI in my 475 and it runs quick and completely error-free. The Daystar QuadControl control panel doesn't even crash it (it does it on the web-based InfiniteMac emulator).

    Used M-series Macs to me just seem to have a lot less value than used older gen Macs of yesteryear.

    I used to look forward to getter the cheaper and more available Powermacs when they were several years old. Older but serviceable.

    (the dynamic on the windows side of things is weird for sure because buying a used 8th gen i5 OEM system and upgrading it, even "modestly" like to 16/512, is likely to cost more than a brand new N100/16/512 micro PC from amazon, so the only "value" is if you know up front you need even more than that in some way.)

    I like them and I plan on getting one soon but I don't personally see value in getting a used one. I upgraded to SSDs when they first started coming out and I still DONT like the idea of a used and worn out SSD, thats non replaceable. Non-upgradeable ram, while not necessarily a deal breaker still sits badly with me.

    Ah totally fair - are there even a bunch yet? I imagine if so a lot of 'em are power users or developers who should never have bought an 8/16g config to begin with and those'll have been "ridden hard".

    Does anyone know of a way to force a resolution (such as 1024x768) on my 475? I just have a dumb Mac-to-Vga adapter with no sense settings at the moment. Gonna get the adjustable one soon, though.

    I swear that fan in the Mini used to work. Now nothing. Plus, it stops in the Opencore bootup.
