    The Apple Lisa Inside an FPGA!

    reading through that thread, might be worth seeing if you can find someone stateside to do the BGA repair? 2 names that come to mind are dosdude1 - https://doslabelectronics.com/repair or maybe rossman repair group? No idea what the cost would be, but might end up being cheaper than shipping...

    The Apple Lisa Inside an FPGA!

    this is awesome! definitely in for one whenever they do be come available for sale(assuming the price is closer to the 80 a board than the 500 a board. probably ~$150-ish is the upper end of what I'd pay?)

    BlueSCSI Laptop to external WiFi Antenna?

    Optical drive on those is SCSI, right? you could replace that with a bluescsi Or, might be able to replace the internal SCSI ribbon cable with a dual connector one and put a bluescsi internally there somewhere, but might be a pain db25 bluescsi might be the best bet for that if you wanted to...

    SCSI to SATA?

    BlueSCSI to MicroSD to M.2 to an M.2 to Sata adapter (not a real suggestion, real suggestion is just use a BlueSCSI, MacSD, ZuluSCSI, and a good quality SD card)

    :rolleyes: calling this plagiarism is BS and you know it. We get it, you don't like joe or anyone associated at all with bluescsi, tinkerdifferent,having a youtube channel, whatever Saybur has straight up said he has no interest in selling them, and has no issue with other people selling it...

    G3 AIO / Molar Mac Appreciation Thread

    the molar mac is awesome. something I wanted for years and years but could never find locally, ended up finding one a few years ago at a "reasonable" price at a local estate sale(iirc was like $125 or something). few months later I guess some huge lot of them was found at a school in PA or...

    Is this too much $ and work for a noob.

    which tower? Beige or blue&white? If it's beige youll be able to make disks, (long story short, to make 800k disks you need a mac with a built in floppy drive. a usb one won't work) if you end up needing some 800k floppy disks with a system image on them to get started, i'm willing to make...

    Is this too much $ and work for a noob.

    Doesn't appear to have a keyboard or mouse either, which for the 128, 512, and plus, are propritary(though i believe you can get/make adapters?) Personally I'd keep an eye out for an SE as a 1st compact mac, uses an ADB keyboard/mouse which are much more common.
