    MacFan by Blowhard Industries

    Hey all. I purchased a Mac Plus keyboard, and it happened to come with a mouse and 4mb Mac Plus. :) Completely unexpected was a "MacFan" in the top of the unit. It appears that the whole thing was sitting in an attic box for a l-o-n-g time because it took a lot of strength to slide it off, and...

    External Speakers?

    Hi all. Looking for info on external speakers that were made to connect to the Mac Plus/512 series. I was thinking I could find some historical info on aftermarket items that match the color and form factor, but googling for "mac plus speakers" doesn't exactly give the results I need. :) I'm...

    Wow, Mr. Pigeon. That is great info. Thanks! I am looking to 3d print or otherwise find a box/case to put next to the Mac to hold Floppy Emu and Raspberry Pi, want it to all look matching. Much appreciated.

    Official Paint Color of Mac 128/512/Plus?

    What is the official color code (is that a Pantone number?) of the Mac 128/512k/Plus? Looking to 3D print a case/holder that will sit next to the Mac, and want the colors to match. I have seen it called "beige" and "putty" but wondering about the specific code for realistic match. Or is there...

    The MacIPpi Rpi. The MacIPpi concept for Raspberry Pi.

    Hi. I'm coming in w-a-a-a-a-y late on this. I have a 4mb Mac Plus and a Raspberry Pi. I would love to get the Mac to display some fun things like weather/time/etc in a screen saver, with data gated/synced via the Pi. What do I need to get started? Please excuse my lack of clue. I went through...

    Macintosh Plus Hole Case Cut for Heat?

    Hi all. While I was a ][ user starting in 1980, I missed the classic/compact Mac era. So now I am coming around and reading All of The Things (TM) when it comes to the Mac Plus, and it seems like the need for a fan is 50-50 in what I have seen, with many saying that the air flow was never good...

    Macintosh Plus Hole Case Cut for Heat?

    Being quiet and cool is a must. At the risk of sacrilege, does anyone think there would be appreciable benefit to cutting a 2 inch hole in the back of the case near the "dead air midpoint" and putting a grill over the hole (to keep cat paws out)? Looking at a video from I think it could be done...

    Retail Spots for Mac Plus Items?

    eBay seems to be full of money gougers/opportunists when it comes to retro items, so I'm hoping I can find someone "in the family" as my first choice. I'm open to using eBay as a secondary alternative.

    Retail Spots for Mac Plus Items?

    Hey all. Looking for any place that sells (putty/beige) Mac Plus keyboards or mice or 4mb upgrades, I acquired one without any input. Would rather not do eBay. Actually if the keyboard is from a 512/128 that would be better since there is no number pad and would be more compact on the desk. I do...

    Local estate find in San Diego

    As paulhagstrom.1921 mentioned, that content belonged to a very long-time giant in the Apple II community. It would be great for the community and maybe the family for a benevolent buyer (quick somebody call Richard Garriott?) to get it all and catalog it and then use it or distribute it. This...
