is it possible to retr0bright this plastic? ;)

Sure it's pretty slow, but on the other hand you have Dasung Paperlike displays. link

that's why I am talking about using PiZero based RGB2HDMI, while modern e-ink screens are HDMI compliant. Here's expample of 9,7" screen...

I miss my PowerBook 170 I dont have anymore and consider buying PB 170 or PB 180. What scares me off is yellowed LCD (tunnel vision is another story), is there any chance to reverse that? I remember one article about upgrades from MacAddict magazine that even suggested replacing "pencil (thin)...

great! B&W Macs definitely need new games.

does this drive work without eject motor? I have bunch of these with broken motor gears.

I appreciate your help Phipli, will try to perform the things that you mentioned.

Ok here's update: I did reflow the solder on analog board and no success. It doesnt give me a boot sound anymore. I can only hear internal fan and HDD spinning. What should I do next? Which one is more likely to require a recap - power supply or analog board?

thank you guys and yes @Phipli I used to tinker with my Plus including reflow of solder joints and replacing CRT :)

Hi, since obtaining the 9 inch CRT for compact Macs is getting harder and more expensive, I am thinking about using CRT from 9 inch mono VGA monitors still available around. Will they work after adjusting screen?

Hi, my recently bought Macintosh SE arrived in package safely. However when I tried to power it on, all I got was black screen. When I tried to tap on the side, it gave me a startup sound, but no video (already tried brightness nob). Before shipping it was confirmed working, the seller showed...

I think I would settle with grayscale only :) no need for external color monitor.

Hi, I really like the BlueSCSI, has anyone tried it with 512k with extra RAM and SCSI board with DB25 connector? I have a machine like this but there's a broken pin in SCSI board so I am not able to try it. Cheers Charlie

Hi, these guys are working on 8-bit like, ZX-eseque platform game, what's really cool about it is monochrome graphics. It's originally for Amiga, but there are planned ports for C64, Atari XL/XE and such. I asked them about B&W Macs, but sadly they dont have any Mac coders, so someone skilled...

ObeyDaleks: thank you so much for giving me a hint concerning neck board. Totally forgot about resoldering those joints in SE/30 many years ago.

Hi, I replaced the broken CRT with the working one „borrowed” from my Plus. It works apart from the fact it gives me random noise/mess on screen - like suddenly appearing horizontal bars and such. They are not solid bars that are on screen entire time. Any suggestion will be appreciated.

that was already mentioned and discussed in February see https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/new-cpu-accelerator-options-for-68k-macs.37846/page-4

All we need is raspberry pi based accelerator, it would be much cheaper.

Hi, What I really like about 1-bit Macs is how they managed to let it run games like Lemmings, Arkanoid, Civilization, Tetris which rely on color graphics on other platforms. Which game ports would be possible in 2021? Personally I am not interested in Doom type of games (ok maybe except for...
