I have a MessagePad 2000 I need to actually get using first though.
I’ve never seen a 2000/2100 in the flesh! Would love to get one one day!

Note it does 1080p, so a good fit for modernish LCDs
I seldom use LCDs with my vintage stuff.. I try to keep to period specific displays! That said this card works well with my 21” Apple CRT!

I'll bring it along to the meetup. :)
Awesome!

Oh I was gonna ask.. I still have that LWII if you want me to bring it along? If not don’t worry, don’t wanna force it on you.. just seemed like the ideal time if you did want it!

Well I already have a cube.. 😅

Mac TV is a difficult one.. it was a miracle being able to get the LC 520.. I expect any Mac TV would become a surprise jigsaw puzzle in shipping.

Maybe I could paint my 520? 😂

Not a Lisa, but I did get a nice wee surprise today. Bought a rough looking Se and SE/30 a couple of weeks ago. I wasn’t entirely sure if they worked or not, or if it was even an SE/30 as the bucket seemed to be that of a SE. Well got them unpacked today and wow they’re dirty.. but beautifully working (the PSU on the SE is a bit dodgy but should be a fairly easy fix). The SE/30 was indeed a working, non battery bombed unit, and the SE had a PDS network card in it! SCORE!

With enough Compact Macs you can build a wall. Jan 30, 2024 :love:

I know it’s from the Apple IIgs but I always wanted one of these OG ADB keyboards.. it looks so funky! It’s also quite nice to type on!

And yet the Molar G3 looks so sad 😭 !
Alas it’s a bit of a headache project. Something is stopping the CRT side of things from working and I’ve got exceptionally little knowledge of analogue boards and power supplies, so tracking down the fault has been.. slow. Especially as I can’t even narrow it down to the PSU, Analogue, or Neck board.

So, the G3 Molar is really empathising with you then 😟 !

Yep! I’m still hopeful I’ll be able to figure it out. It’ll be an interesting one to bring to a future meet up should we ever have one again!
