All members are invited to blog on Applefritter. Weblogs should generally be of a technical nature and should be written in such a way as to still be readable and useful 50 years from now. Please do not embed outside media. Images and videos can be uploaded via the Media Browser. Files should either be attached to the blog post or uploaded to the file libraries.

When you post to your blog it will appear on this index and on your personal blog page. Once you've made a few posts, contact me about having a graphic added on the top of this page.

Video done

I have not updated this blog in a couple of weeks. I have been busy at work as well as working on this project. I have pretty much finished the video section of the Apple IIE. All modes look good to the eyes. The FPGA board has switches that I am using to set the different modes.

bought a G3 300Mhz Zif

Last night, I perused the eBay store and bought a 300Mhz Zif for my AIO G3 Beige. This will make the machine faster and more responsive under 10.3 . Hopefully it will work (as I have been told that even the B&W's CPU's will work in the beige), and it should arrive within 10-days. This should make this machine closer to being usable as a regular machine (the thing is slow as hell, even under 10.3 :P) This is just one step closer to being my main desktop.

The 68000 dash 30fx!

And it's mine! All mine!

This monster is the first computer that I worked on professionally. It was purchased by my employer back in 1989 or 1990, reportedly for around $40,000 (though I never saw the purchase order.) It is essentially a modded IIfx in a giant steel case with oodles of space for disk drives and cooling gear. I haven't weighed it, but it must tip the scales at well over 50lbs.
