For what it's worth: the general wisdom for DMX512, which is not entirely electrically dissimilar to Localtalk, is that you should use a terminator if you're putting a fixture alone on a cable longer than 20 metres. I'd say your maths is pretty good!

The PowerBook situation is this: CircuitTalk works in the Pismo and the Ti G4s. The issue preventing me from selling kits is one of geometry. The IDC connector on CT doesn't even come close to fitting in either the Pismo or the Ti so I'll have to use some sort of FPC and likely splinter off a...

If you have a G3 or a Yikes G4 then you don't need any extra hardware besides my kit but the other G4 kits all rely on you having the metal bracket that mounts the modem port.

Albeit a little delayed (again), I'll be putting in my order from JLCPCB tomorrow and starting to build kits again tout suite once I have all my silicon ducks in a row. If you haven't already, please let me know if you are interested in a kit so I can tailor my order to meet demand!

It believe so, yes!

Today's show brought with it a very interesting choice of computer for set dressing

Does the SE/30 operate normally without the BlueSCSI connected? The BlueSCSI is unfortunately quite incompatible with the SE/30 in my experience. I couldn't get mine to work for love nor money and ended up using a ZuluSCSI instead. The BlueSCSI has certain limiting factors that make it quite...

Great responses to my ponderings all around - thanks everyone. I think what we're ultimately all dreaming of is a KVM that can integrate with a program like Synergy. I'd sure love to clear that secondary ADB keyboard off my desk...

This is really nifty, well done! One thing I'm curious about is the possibility of dynamically switching machines based on cursor movement. If you know the resolution of each machine, could you program this gizmo to switch whenever the cursor is moved a certain distance in a certain direction...

MPW is a little idiosyncratic and strange if you're coming from modern IDEs. I'd recommend Codewarrior for actually trying to get things done without having to learn a fairly unique workflow from scratch. I've not used it that much myself but it is far and away the nicest development environment...

As it happens, yes! I am doing some design tweaks this weekend and will be ordering components next week.

Has anyone else noticed that ebay's "Vintage Computing" section has been overrun by trash-tier early-00s x86 desktops at ludicrously high prices? There's always been an element of that sort of pricing but now it seems like everything is £100+ as standard. Don't even get me started on how...

Accurate numbers on sales for pretty much any specific model of Mac are scarce. On an official Apple-sourced level, you occasionally get the odd mention in keynotes but sadly there are no official documents or resources I know of that make things crystal clear. I did a fair bit of research into...
