My memory is saying the same thing. Certainly other cards for other buses called ProColorServer 24 are not accelerated.

Given the Test Manager's propensity to write test results to PRAM, I was wondering idly if that could be hijacked, but that unfortunately gets rather platform specific rather quickly and ends up relying on one having a working Egret in later machines. So that route is probably not one worth...

Ah yeah, this is a good idea. Bloody Tantalums.

I wonder if it might be a good thing to revisit the blanket advice to use tantalums - solid polymer capacitors are more available now than they used to be and they have the profound advantage of not catching fire if you install them wrong, along with not containing conflict minerals

at that point I might recommend using a tiny portable ntpdate type implementation rather than a full ntpd, to be honest: most hobbyist uses don't really need anything more than "set time once at startup". There's a number of these. This is mine (or perhaps I should say it's David Lettier's...

Six of the sods have recently passed through my hands, none have been brittle. Those are from the UK and Japan; I cannot speak for other climates.

@NJRoadfan, @Fizzbinn - I missed your posts somehow, apologies - that's a good trove, thankyou! I don't know why I find these so fascinating @theletter0xff - thank you also, but in a rather more timely fashion

If you think it'd be good or fun, go for it! You can make the takky mod very neat if you put a bit of effort into it, and colour classics aren't rare enough (yet) to get all precious over. As @Byrd notes it does require some work on the plastics and shields, and that can be hard to make look...

Good choice. The SE isn't, on its own, the most exciting machine in the world but it's solid, reliable and easy to repair if it breaks. A very good start.

I'm gathering this is precisely the opposite of a silent fan

The most fun option here, though rather rare, is the sixty eight thousand SCSI card, I think it was called the SCSI Bolt. Schematics and stuff are out there, if anyone wants an extremely niche reloaded type project...

no cat?

one of the many revolutionary things about that machine was that it is bigger on the inside than the outside

Yeah, I can see all that. Fun! Never thought about using MQTT as a generic multicast packet transport before but why not, I guess... Well, you basically have three options here. You have IP connectivity and you wish to run AppleTalk over it. As @NJRoadfan correctly says, the most "correct"...

fair comment!

you do DDP over MQTT? My goodness. What's that for?

gre? eoip?

I promise I won't actually take advantage :-p

brb adding a load of obscure rubbish to the pile I have here with your name on
