Con: System freeze.
Pro: Free Magic Eye puzzle!

@ActionRetro Out: Record scratch sounds. 😒
In: Head crash sounds. 😏

@ActionRetro I've got four retired 2010 Mac Minis (that were servers in a previous life), as well as a load of spare SATA SSDs. New DDR3 is cheap and plentiful.

Now that you've done all that, you've got me thinking of what else I could do with a stack of four fully-upgraded mid-2010s... 🤔

@ActionRetro It almost feels more (but not quite) like this turns the Apple II into a terminal for a mainframe which is running in one of the Apple II's own card slots.

But as a video title, that doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

@ActionRetro Amazing. Honestly Juicycrumb should consider a version of the board that just accommodates a modern Mac Mini motherboard. I suspect more than a few people would buy it!

@ActionRetro OS will not boot until it can play some nice music for you.

@ActionRetro I unironically love it. Judge me if you dare.

If like me, you were a child of the '90s, you might remember "ReBoot" – a pioneering 3D animated kids series created by Vancouver's own Mainframe Entertainment.

These documentarians have gotten a hold of the original, uncompressed digital masters. The problem is, they're in the D-1 format.

If anyone in the #retrotech community has access to a Bosch BTS D1, or a comparable D1 player/decoder, I urge you to reach out to @ReBootReWind (on Twitter) to help preserve #ReBoot!
