@shu82 If you find one inside a IIfx that looks kinda like the big Daystar, lemme know. :)

If you're curious, electrolytics can explode like little sticky streamer poppers from New Years. They'll get their innards all over stuff. It's amusing to watch, but annoying to clean.

@Byrd If you don't mind a few modern things, I recommend you mosey on over to A2Heaven and try not to spend all your money. :D I've been told that if you email the owner, he can assemble out-of-stock parts for you. I highly recommend the FASTChip //e and the MEGA Audio. Since you have a...

Works great in Mouse Paint and Summer Games skeet shooting event. :)

Wow. That cache module made a huge difference.

If you still have the disk, it may be possible to still recover your files. There are a few people who specialize in data recovery and would likely do it for free.

Early Beige Plus came with the 128K/512K keyboard, so it may be "rare" in the sense that it's an OG keyboard that's also matched to the Plus.

Not to get sidetracked by the Apple II in that picture, but it reminded me that the the official Apple II stand really bugs me because it was designed for the Apple /// monitor. The actual Apple II monitor doesn't sit correctly on it. They never updated the design even after the official...

I think Apple underestimated the PC market when it came to "good enough." People are willing to compromise a lot on design features if it meant a cheaper computer.

Alternatively if you find a PowerKey, it comes with software for scheduling startup and shutdown. You also don't need soft power as the PowerKey handles it for you. You just leave the computer on, and it'll kill the power to the switch itself.

Looks like a cleaner implementation than the HyperDrive, especially the fan.

@VMSZealot I tracked down the conflict exactly: If your project file is simply named something like "project" with no extension, and your resource file is the same name but with .rsrc extension (such as "project.rsrc"), THINK C will attempt to make a resource file with your project's name when...

Nice. Even made a BSNG plugin. :D

It's created in the same folder as your project file. It'll have the same name, except with a .rsrc extension (i.e. project-name.π.rsrc)

@VMSZealot When you compile or build/run, THINK C creates its own resource file with the same name as your project. Usually it'll update it if you make changes to your primary resource file, but I've run into an occasional bug where it doesn't (then it complains there are duplicates.) Try...

What am I missing? Why is everyone so angry over this? I also made an app using an LLM, but I didn't see all the hateful comments.

But it could be if you're using a Backronym. :) MAC is not an ACronym. :D

Do you have any recommendations for excellent books with good code examples for 68k programming?

I see it as a potentially powerful tool for someone who is an experience programmer already. Maybe implemented as part of an IDE where it can make auto-complete suggestions using a code library of your own. That way the code will already be familiar (since it's based off code you wrote), and...

So my app is now feature complete. This is the simple Reader, I do have an Editor, but since it's based off the Reader, I wanted to make sure the Reader app is mostly bug free before continuing off the same code base to make the Editor. My app is an extremely simple database program with a...
