A fresh rip of the super-helpful Apple Legacy Recovery CD has been uploaded from my personal collection. Some minor issues were noted with previous disc images, so hopefully this is helpful!

I spent wayyyy too much at VCF Midwest on uncommon Apple CDs, video tapes, laserdiscs, and documentation… but it’ll be worth it when they’re all archived! 😅

I went to Long Island Retro this past weekend with my 1.3 MP Casio camera from 1998. The results are beautiful! 😍

My friend from MacEffects sent me this Mac SE/30 board to look at. I owed him a favor so I agreed, plus it's New Old Stock, how bad can it be? 😅

Do you have a Panasonic NeoFile business card reader & PDA??
Do you also have the optional serial cable and NeoLink software? 💾
I’d love to play around with mine but the software isn’t archived and the serial port seems unique. 😫
Please share to help me find it! 🤞

Dang, I found Hayes disks but not that - but I will make a note and keep on looking!

Someone reached out a while back looking for Hayes Smartcom disks (or similar disks) for their Macintosh modem...
if that's any of you, please reply here. Thanks! 💾

Did anyone else grab the second Data Deck at VCF MW? That other box had the manuals in it and I’d love to scan them in. #vcfmidwest #vcfmw

I'm SUPER excited... this weekend I've successfully hacked this Kodak Reels 8mm film digitizer, allowing me to modify the firmware to decrease the horrible default video compression. This produces much better results! 🥳
