Friends,<\/p>\n

It’s been a little while, but I just needed to convince my sore wrists that recreational typing is a good idea. Now I’ll put up a bunch of posts just for fun in no particular order. First, old computers!<\/p>\n

This PowerBook 170 was a gift from my sweet friend Holly. It was her daily driver in college and she’s moved on. Unfortunately, its laptop-sized SCSI hard drive has also moved on. Time for the internal version of BlueSCSI and a nice System 7 image. BlueSCSI<\/a> adds WiFi through a Raspberry Pi Pico, which is neat, so maybe its connectivity will go beyond LocalTalk. The battery is good, so it could potentially be a chunky road monster. <\/p>\n

Despite the repairs to the standoffs on the display covers, it’s still an iffy affair. The front cover is broken and its screw is pulling through on the right side, so it’s not as stable as it could be. The sweet 1-bit display is pretty responsive, though. I also love its trackball.

It’s so close. <\/p>\n

Your pal,<\/p>\n
