My @RoyalKludge RK68 keyboard won’t charge, so I opened it up. The positive wire was crimped between the case and circuit board. 😬 was nearly cut in half. Anyone know where to get a 4mm thick 1450mAh 3.7V battery? Sad my RK68 didn’t last long. 😕

@Delta Freezing rain and drizzle where?

[Richard Wifall @iNikkor]

@Delta - Why was flight DL 1012 from SNA to Seattle cancelled? Trying to get back home for Christmas.

@Cricketnation I managed to get through to support and was helped. Thanks!

[Richard Wifall @iNikkor]

Ok, so from what I can tell NetaTalk via LocalTalk isn't a thing and LocalTalk is not possible with standard serial ports. So in order to use NetaTalk I would need a LocalTalk to EtherTalk bridge. Does that sound correct?

[Richard Wifall @iNikkor]

Replaced the RAM in my #AppleIIgs, no bad memory blocks any more and I’m able to boot into finder without the HFS FST crashing. SCSI drive is fiddly to get going so I guess I need to get serial Netatalk going now to make it easy to copy off the HFS partition.

@callapple Thanks! @dwsjason pointed me toward a Shapeways link last week and I’m already back up and running (And have backup gears too!)

[Richard Wifall @iNikkor]

My Apple IIgs floppy drive started making a buzzing sound after archiving around a dozen disks. I opened it up and saw this destroyed gear. 😢

[Richard Wifall @iNikkor]

@antoine_vignau @helix_nrg 😅 good to hear!

[Richard Wifall @iNikkor]

VOCinit v1.00 for the Apple IIgs has been released. *29* years since it was created.

Get it here: https://t.co/4WZvgrX8Xg

@helix_nrg - Here you go.

[Richard Wifall @iNikkor]

@helix_nrg @antoine_vignau 😁

[Richard Wifall @iNikkor]

@helix_nrg @antoine_vignau Archive? You two are the probably only people who will ever run these things.
I added VOCinfo:

@helix_nrg - I'd love to see the complete output from your PAL VOC

[Richard Wifall @iNikkor]

😢 Apparently I’m loosing my memory

[Richard Wifall @iNikkor]

@antoine_vignau @helix_nrg Also, is your VOC a PAL one as well?

[Richard Wifall @iNikkor]

@antoine_vignau @helix_nrg How are you checking the dissolve settings? by observing the video output? Using the VideoMix NDA?

[Richard Wifall @iNikkor]

@antoine_vignau @helix_nrg LOL I'm happy you noticed that :)

[Richard Wifall @iNikkor]

@helix_nrg Let me know if it works when you get a chance to try it. Out of curiosity do you know which setting is missing? Because the next thing I was thinking of releasing was the VOC CDA

[Richard Wifall @iNikkor]

@helix_nrg Ooh, interesting. This should only touch the key dissolve setting and non-key dissolve setting, so probably should be ok?
