Is your Macintosh Portable in need of additional system RAM? My latest product is a 7 megabyte RAM card. This is a first-run of 10, and don't worry - many more will be made. androda.work/product/macint…

@techknight2 So you could say it's being recapacitated.

Let's see what kind of repair trouble I can get in with this Sony srf-a100

@LinusTech Something like this might help: androda.work/product/newton… (sigh, they're out of stock because new old stock parts do love to randomly be faulty - need to make another batch) The design is released here if you want to make your own: github.com/androda/PCBDes…

Remember the Apple Newton? We're so close to making a video on it, but we NEED an Apple Newton Interconnect Dongle and are having a little trouble sourcing one. But if any of you have one laying around that you wouldn't mind us playing around with... leave a reply!

BlueSCSI V2 stock will be coming online soon. My listings are for pre-made (they are not "built to order") so they will not all appear at once. androda.work/product-catego… #BlueSCSI

It has come to my attention that someone is selling F4 BlueSCSI hardware on leboncoin.fr. This individual is not a licensed seller and I cannot guarantee the quality of their hardware. See the hardware license here: github.com/androda/F4_Blu… #bluescsi

The Mac Portable Hybrid Module Recreation product is live! Please run through the pre-check steps (linked from product description) before ordering to be sure your system is in good shape. androda.work/product/macint…

@Potato_Fi Thanks for the mention. Recreations can be fairly relaxing when they're on the simpler side like this.

This damaged DMG-DECN-02 board (the Game Boy cartridge PCB for Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, Zelda: Link’s Awakening and many others) with components removed is headed to @TechByAndroda for scanning and recreating. Can you find the pads that I lifted? 👀

@imoutostyle @DosFox1 BlueSCSI is very much not discontinued, and is stocked by a variety of sellers around the globe (including myself). :) Mainline BlueSCSI does mostly target vintage macs, where my XCVR line has wider compatibility. bluescsi.com

So the radius accelerator is working - and I upgraded the ROMs!

Similar to upstream, here is a BETA Firmware release that adds optical disk image support. Thanks to jokker/mynameistroy for all the effort getting this working! There's a GitHub Discussion link in the release, please post issues there. github.com/androda/F4_Blu…

A new F4 BlueSCSI release has just been posted. This one includes improved support for formatting utilities. github.com/androda/F4_Blu… #f4_bluescsi #bluescsi

@thepillock However there aren't any changes specific to amiga in terms of scsi protocol yet, as I don't own one for testing with.

@thepillock Yes, this one includes transceivers which ought to be compatible with scsi2's tighter voltage signaling requirements.

The new F4 BlueSCSI XCVR is finally available in small quantities! Hit some delays after hoping to release at the end of March. androda.work/product/deskto… The code is released GPL, and hardware released CC-NC, in the main repo: github.com/androda/F4_Blu…

@BusError @BlueScsi Sorry for the confusion. I forgot to update the product page. That was before this: github.com/androda/F4_Blu… And this: #diff-1027ae357910748f3410296255503a0559813297de783a3b93d6ca9f3ee42e49" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/androda/F4_Blu…

@BlueScsi @TechByAndroda Closed source?!?! really?!?! Locked microcontroller? WTF?

Checkout the recently updated Transceiver F4 #bluescsi boards by @TechByAndroda ! He also contributed a F1 Transceiver code to the main repo too, thanks!

Working on #macintoshportable stuff with @techknight2 Screen cables for backlit portables, hybrid module recreations, BlueSCSI versions specific to the mac portable... The usual. :)

Time to build the replacement Macintosh portable LCD cable for testing

Forgot to add these. New to Twitter. :) @BlueScsi #bluescsi
