The Byte Attic

Since my last post, I got several questions—both on social media and privately—about what exactly I did to restore the old Mac. Instead of individual replies, I thought I'd just jot down a brief report with plenty of photos:

I added a little modern technology to the old Macintosh 128K this weekend, for convenience, so the younger folks at Euclyd can actually bear to try and use this little thing ;-).

This fully-restored little jewel is going to grace the brand-new offices of Euclyd from September ;-).

For reasons beyond my understanding, Google has blocked my website thebyteattic.com (hosted by Blogger) because of alleged malware (!). The block was as arbitrary as the alleged reason for it, which is totally absurd. I can't even access the system to create a backup of years of material, which may be all lost; it's insane. I appealed the block but the process is anything but transparent, so I intend to move all my web presence away from Blogger as soon as I get time to deal with it. Apologies for the broken links.

This is some careful and well-researched reporting by Bert van Dijk. If you don't read Dutch, auto-translate usually works very well. You can pass the Paywall by simply giving your name and email address, and read it for free.
