Our #computer_of_the_month for September (or so) was the 1984 Apple Macintosh along with its similar compact buddies. In Update's possession is a Macintosh 512K, a Macintosh Plus and a Macintosh SE FDHD. These are fun little machines with a huge software library that received support well into the 90s. These particular ones are all older models which typically have good capacitors (unlike later models like the Classic) and were found to be in quite decent shape, the SE even having a working hard drive. The Plus had a bad speaker, and these are unfortunately tricky to replace, and the 512K had deteriorating gears in the disk drive which we will attempt to replace at a later date, but for the time being, all that remained for us to do was to max out the RAM and have a game of Dubbelmoral! #retrocomputing #dubbelmoral #macintosh

Some Sinclair QL repair work. The QL was our #computer_of_the_month back in February. At the time, we concluded that we had one fully working QL and one in need of a new keyboard membrane. Getting back to them recently after procuring a new keyboard membrane, we found, rather unsurprisingly, that the previously working QL now had a broken membrane too, bringing us right back down to one working QL yet again, but at least the keyboard on this one should be good for the foreseeable future.
We also begun the tedious process of replacing the tiny piece of felt on each of our 100 or so microdrive cartridges. Many of them would still fail to load properly but we managed to get a couple of games up and running, among them this surprisingly competent chess game.

In Update's #computer_of_the_month project we pick one computer from our collection each month and examine its condition, possibly repair it, and explore its architecture, history, and software.

In June 2023 we selected the Swedish educational computer Compis from 1985.
