    Oh yeah learning by doing is much more rewarding. I think I need to just familiarize myself with basic electriconics knowledge...like what a capacitor actually does and such. The Velleman kits look cool, again underscoring I need to learn soldering

    Maybe I should have spent more time with this when I was a kid. Was an awesome learning toy though! I think this was the actual kit I had.

    @Phipli I went by what was recommended on the recap-a-mac site. What's the real world difference between what I bought and the 25Vs? Note I know nothing about this stuff 🙃

    Checkmate Retro LCD Monitor

    Here's an interesting Kickstarter product. LCD in a CRT-inspired case with a wide variety of video inputs supporting many different vintage computer and gaming platforms. Unfortunately doesn't seem like there's a Mac DB15 input available yet, but could be added with an expansion pod...

    Sweet thanks! I think for our 68kmla to-be games, we should restrict play to vintage machines, much cooler that way ;)

    Online Vintage Gaming?

    I installed Quake III Arena for OS9 last night. I most definitely did not play this version back in the day. Was able to handshake with some Quake 3 Internet servers, but seems this install is a lower version than the servers were running, so couldn't connect. I didn't feel like figuring out...

    Online Vintage Gaming?

    Seems there are quite a few folks with or building G3 and G4 class gaming machines. Are there any vintage online gaming servers? I remember having a blast playing Quake II online back in the day. Unreal Tournament looks pretty cool too (never played back then). Would be fun to game online...
