    Building a new LocalTalk (and LToUDP) to Ethernet gateway

    Unfortunately, this project is unlikely to progress any further in its current form, as I have lost all enthusiasm for hardware development given the general tenor of behaviour sloshing about among certain parts of the peanut gallery of the hardware development community. If it re-emerges, it...

    Abaton Hand Scan SCSI Interface + Accel SC scanner

    There were also mini-podules available for the Acorn A30x0/4000 series, and I had a cartridge interface for the Atari (which I think @croissantking now has, IIRC). Those things got everywhere.

    JSON parser lib for Mac OS?

    How big are these JSON files, or whatever? The idea of using the MP APIs for parsing smallish text files seems like quite serious overkill.

    Over the last few years, I've taken to more or less giving things away (including covering postage) then asking people to make the postage + whatever extra their conscience prompts them to as a donation to a local food poverty and homelessness charity that does good work in their area. I don't...

    Macintosh Classic Blank Screen

    Yes, to put it politely, those analogue boards are "cost-optimised". By which I mean they're cheap to the point of self-destructing. Recapping 'em is pretty much vital.
