Performa 400, Performa color monitor, keyboard, mouse, and modem. Still too soggy to test, but I pulled the battery at least. Not bad for free!

Getting the Performa 400 (aka LC II) i was reminded of this blog post that was bouncing around the web last week. Check your LC III caps!

It's a Performa 400 with keyboard and monitor! They're currently thawing and drying out in my basement. Another vintage Mac saved from the trash. #macintosh

But wait! There's a keyboard in there and it doesn't look like a PC keyboard...

Latest find in the e-waste dumpster at the town transfer station. Sure, I'll take another CRT. #dumpsterdiving #vintagecomputers

Apple II displaying a Galaxian attract screen with a joystick and trackball sitting in front

Finally tested the trackball while confirming the repair on the joysticks. It's kinda fun to play Galaxian with, but Dazzle Draw uses joystick angle to determine cursor speed, not position.

Anyone know of Apple II programs that map joystick movements like a mouse?

PSA: Many modern laptops have strong magnets in their cases for holding the lid closed. Floppies do not like being next to said magnets.

I'm jealous. Your Cat doesn't have a hole in it!

Just teasing my Swyft card vs Canon Cat setup. My friend wants me to make a video comparing the two. Any interest?

That's a Radio Shack DuoPhone btw

Does #appleii do anything?

I wired up an extension for the Apple II joystick port with a ZIF socket. Should make testing these joysticks far less painful.

Beige box with a round red ball embedded in the center and two red buttons on the left. Branded TG Products.

An Apple II trackball. It's really just a joystick so it has limited range potentiometers for both x and y axis. Probably garbage for games, but I'm hoping it works well for drawing tools.

Un-modifying two Apple II joysticks. Someone rewired them for an Atari. I think. Anyway, going back to (mostly) stock.
