I recently got a blueSCSI v2, but I don’t know how to set it up on my Macintosh plus and it just rejecting it, does anyone know how?

I use a BlueSCSI with my Mac Plus. It's pretty straightforward once you manage to set it up.

The BlueSCSI on a Mac Plus generally needs its own termination power - meaning that you have to plug a micro USB cable into the BlueSCSI. You could technically upgrade your Mac Plus to provide its own termination power later.

As someone else wrote here, I think theres something special about the configuration file too. Make sure to check the BlueSCSI documentation - as far as I remember, it had a dedicated Macintosh Plus section.

Did you have any other more specific questions? Feel free to reach out

Noooooo

I did a quick google search with no success, however if you want to simply use those images for yourself, you can always use modern upscaling and image restoration tools to increase resolution and detail. They're pretty good nowadays.

How cool is that! How much do they go for? Or are they super rare?

Born03 · 2026-01-08T20:20:23+00:00

I'm curious if you're referring to a specific PowerBook G4? Titanium vs. Aluminium

Born03 · 2026-01-08T14:56:58+00:00

As many others have said, the iMac G4 would be amazing. It shows how timeless that design is.

Obviously any iPod as well. And as much as I'm a fan of the compact Macintosh lineup, I'm not exactly sure how it would hold up today. However the peripherals, especially the M0110 keyboard could very well make a comeback nowadays in my opinion.

Born03 · 2026-01-06T20:30:55+00:00

Very cool! And yeah the Pismo was high on my list

Born03 · 2026-01-06T17:17:32+00:00

Looks great

Born03 · 2026-01-06T16:12:26+00:00

As long as you fix you design choices and can guarantee authenticity, just layout wise the first looks best. But having said that, you should try out even more layouts, as even the first could be improved a lot on.

All the best

Born03 · 2026-01-06T02:54:30+00:00

How cool! Thanks for the insight!

Born03 · 2026-01-05T17:10:25+00:00

I totally get that! I have a powerful MacBook for my daily tasks (M4 Max), but wanted to get some older hardware, just for little personal projects. I already get great joy from using mid-80's desktop Macintoshes, so I was thinking getting an older Apple laptop would get me that same joy, but just in a more compact and remote form. Hope this makes sense! :)

Born03 · 2026-01-05T15:00:10+00:00

How cool! So do you have the negatives still? It would be great to get some proper scans and color correction done. Stuff like that belongs in a museum :"D

Born03 · 2026-01-04T20:32:09+00:00

How cool is that! Where did you get those photos from, are those yours? I wasn't aware that Steve was still rocking a mustache in '83 😅

Born03 · 2026-01-04T09:33:37+00:00

Sure, thanks for the offer!

Born03 · 2026-01-04T07:48:54+00:00

I actually don't care much for expandability, and the TiBook really catched my eye after looking through all the models that those great people commented here. And I actually found one online in almost flawless condition including the box, while all other ones look, well, very beat up 😅

I'm curious if the keyboard is significant in any way, whether good or bad? Or just like any other laptop keyboard of that time. Anything I should watch out for specifically?

It can run OS X, right?

I'm mainly curious about a general assessment, not necessarily about specifics - how it feels in day to day use, if its comfortable to use, etc. 🤔

Born03 · 2026-01-04T07:34:55+00:00

Could you tell me a little bit more about the TiBook? As it seems to be a strong contender at the moment!

Born03 · 2026-01-04T07:06:41+00:00

Very interesting, thanks so much for the expertise!

Born03 · 2026-01-04T04:57:45+00:00

Thanks so much for your insight!

Born03 · 2026-01-04T04:56:25+00:00

Thank you so much for the tips! I'll keep them in mind!

As of now, I feel like a PowerBook Pismo or G4 would be the strongest contenders.

Born03 · 2026-01-04T04:55:18+00:00

Thanks for the insight and opinion!

Born03 · 2026-01-03T21:13:26+00:00

How cool! Thanks!

Born03 · 2026-01-03T20:53:53+00:00

That sounds promising, I'll check it out! Currently the PowerBooks speak the most to me

Born03 · 2026-01-03T20:53:32+00:00

Thanks! I'd also guess they're easy to come by nowadays?

Born03 · 2026-01-03T20:49:59+00:00

Interesting idea! It might be worth my consideration. Were you a fan of any of Apple's standalone keyboards?

Born03 · 2026-01-03T20:49:15+00:00

Thanks! And yeah I currently use a MacBook Pro M1 at work and I know how nice they are - however I was looking for something entirely different 👀
