This is badass -- I especially appreciate your attention to detail with the look _and_ interaction patterns in your utility. Awesome stuff!

The other benefit of 'absolute' vs 'relative' positioning is for better performance with VNC-type systems.

Oh, somehow I missed this thread last year! Fun one... I will have to dig around my archives and see what I can find. In the ~fall of ~1995 or so, some folks tried to get a 'demo scene' started up for the Mac; some of the nicks that I recall were PunkFloyd & Demos. They wrote some proof of...

Hah! That looks pretty great - thanks for sharing!

This is awesome! Thanks so much for putting it together.

https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/scsiprobe - useful utility for reporting what's on your SCSI chain.

What behavior does it exhibit? Does it power on? Does it show up in something like SCSI Probe, etc? Which system software are you using it with?

I use a GL.iNet GL-AR300M for that same purpose. I keep meaning to come up with a way to power it from ADB or elsewhere from the host Mac, to make it more of a self-contained solution. It's a super useful little dongle to have.

Interesting - I hadn't considered that. Thanks for the reply!

Very niche question - do you know if this supports absolute (as opposed to relative) mouse positioning, to provide a more performant experience with pikvm hardware? I've used a wombat in the past with it for USB/ADB conversion*, but mouse performance is super sluggish since only relative...

Fantastic - thank you!

Thanks for the reply. Yeah this one was supposed to have been recapped before I purchased it, but couldn’t say for sure. I’ll look into the CCFL tube.

Interesting - I should fire mine back up. From memory I thought it looked surprisingly "dull" for active matrix, but I wasn't really sure what to expect. It's definitely a lot dimmer than I thought it would be, but I don't think I recall anything I would consider artifacting. Wonder if my caps...

Incredible... Makes me super nostalgic for Dad's PB 100 that he ordered immediately when they were announced... Loved that little machine. Picked up a 180c a while back to try to scratch the 68k PowerBook itch, but it's not the same! :D

That is all awesome :-)

Y'all might already be aware, but Apple's current keyboards work great as wired USB keyboards when plugged in via USB. I have several that I use as keyboards for my various Raspberry Pi & similar small form factor computers, and even my vintage Macs (with a wombat adapter)... They're great...

Reading this thread makes me regret selling off my G4 mini (purchased on the day it was announced!) for like $80 ~15 years ago... Didn't see that regret coming! Thought there was no way I'd have a use for it again! :D

Woohoo! Programmer's switch arrived today from @slomacuser -- no more missing pieces!

This is incredible - thanks for sharing! It must feel amazing to see your creation take life like this, and watch people interact with it for the first time. I'm really impressed with what you've accomplished. Congratulations!

Awesome - hopefully you received my PMs and payment :-) thanks so much for digging it up!
