    certo! Che cosa avevi in mente? archiviare dischi italiani per preservarli? Io ho almeno un disco Apple II che sembra un unicorno, dove c'è un gioco italiano di strategia che non sembra esistere da nessuna parte, e che archiviare non è facilissimo dato che ci deve essere sopra qualche sistema di...

    Making an apple iii replica

    Nice work. After that, someone should create a replica plastic case too :D I guess this would be my only chance to finally have an Apple /// at a reasonable price :D

    Macintosh SE/30 logicboard recreation (thread revival)

    thanks man, with everything already in the cart... in the end I couldn't help but doing it :D BTW is this really everything needed, or should I check the BOM anyway and find which missing parts I would still need? In case other people would be interested, notice that some of the listed...

    Setting up a PC Trasporter on a IIGS

    Now after solving the challenge with the TransDrive I can start dreaming of other possible developments :D The first coming to my mind is networking... @Arbee care to share how is your work of reverse-engineering proceeding? Now I am dreaming of an all-star collaboration between you two and...

    Setting up a PC Trasporter on a IIGS

    ...aaaand done! Night brings council as they say - I realised I was plugging the TransDrive unit in the IIGS SmartPort, but instead I should have plugged it into the DB19 port provided with the card, which then plugs into the card directly and it is meant exactly for plugging PC drives. After...

    Setting up a PC Trasporter on a IIGS

    Now I can see why! considered it is a cross platform desktop, it looks amazingly good, and surely much better than Win 3.0 . I have already started growing your same obsession and collecting GEM software :D discovering a version of Ventura Publisher for GEM (I knew it from the PC days) and...

    Setting up a PC Trasporter on a IIGS

    After some more testing and fiddling with DOS disk images and repositories, this is long due to @cheesestraws : Finally I found a working disk images set for installing GEM 3.01! Of course it is on WinWorldPc : https://winworldpc.com/product/gem/3x There are other versions too, in case...

    Setting up a PC Trasporter on a IIGS

    Adapter arrived but TransDrive not working... maybe the unit is defective, I will check it more thoroughly and maybe try it with a simple 3.5" drive and not a gotek (which is confirmed working with the TransDrive card presented above). Meanwhile, an interesting update found hanging online on...

    Setting up a PC Trasporter on a IIGS

    Found an adapter from IDC 34pin PC floppy to card-edge 34 pin PC floppy (which I learned to be the internal connection of units inside the TransDrive box) - it's in Europe so just a few euros to get it assembled and shipped to Italy (less than ordering the PCBs myself anyway). Just counting the...

    Setting up a PC Trasporter on a IIGS

    [Update] - maybe this PCB https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/5_25__Floppy_edge_connector_to_34_pin_3_5__floppy_drive_adapter.html could do the trick?

    Setting up a PC Trasporter on a IIGS

    Another summer is here, and again I have time to play with the PC Transporter :D I have seen this on Ebay: so the Applied Engineering TransDrive, expanded with a HxC drive by Lotharek. It is on auction together with a PC Transporter card at the usual crazy price, if you are interested here's...

    modern PSU replacements for Powerbooks / iBooks (in Europe)

    Hi, I am trying to map possible replacements of power supply units for Powerbook and iBook, which are currently sold and available in Europe. So far I found some models at power4laptops.com (based in UK but seems to have other national websites including Italy where I live), and they also sell...

    suggestions to pack & ship a (black) 5500

    The plastics are indeed really brittle, so I am afraid this could happen to me as well. I guess @finkmac and @joshc are right in the end... I think I will end up offering it locally or maybe delivering it myself at a (not so) wider distance if I manage to sell it. Thanks for your advice everybody.
