Hi, first time posting on lemmy, I hope yall will enjoy my late grandfather’s happy lil Mac Plus! Maxed out at 4MB of RAM and modded with power through SCSI and a low rpm fan. That’s a fully working ImageWriter on the left. :)

Fantastic! This brings back so many good memories. Endless hours of Dark Castle, Zork Zero and making pixel art in MacPaint. Does anything beat the sound of an ImageWriter at full speed? Zzzzt zzt zzzt zzzzztzzt
Thank you for bringing that sound back to life. I have a special love for the Image Writer II, as I think it represents the absolute pinnacle of 80’s industrial design (regardless of brand or industry). And it’s a damn fine printer, too.
On the other hand, the acoustics of that damn keyboard? Euch, don’t miss that at all.
It is still possible to emulate the old 68k Macs.
