I finally had some time today to do a bit of retro computer hackery. I had previously, unsuccessfully, tried to get the LC III running, but I only have VGA monitors, and none of my Mac -> VGA adapters worked. Luckily Apple still have a support article explaining how to make a Mac LC compatible adapter so this morning I put one together. I'm proud to say that my home made Mac LC VGA cable worked right first time!

"But why," I hear you ask, "is it showing an Apple //e boot screen, and not Mac OS 7?"

This LC is fitted with the Apple IIe card, which is a full hardware IIe implementation on a card. This lets me switch between Mac and IIe modes on the fly, sharing devices between the two.

I hope to have some time to play with it soon.

On the 6th August 1991, Tim Berners-Lee - now Sir Tim - posted the world's first public web page; something like this. Twenty years later it's pretty hard to imagine a world without it.
