MARCHintosh 2023
Sinclair-Speccy: "Oh hey it's the 1st of March"
My friend: "Nice! Looking forward to Marchintosh? 👀"
In hindsight, no, I was not looking forward to it. I had no actual Apple computer running macOS or a classic
Mac anywhere in my house to even partake for MARCHintosh.
What is MARCHintosh?
As an extract from the official MARCHintosh site:
With the success of such events as DOScember and SEPTandy, why shouldn't the Macintosh retrocomputing
community have their own month to share their passion for classic Macintosh computers? MARCHintosh has been
an exciting online event since its creation in 2021. We're excited to continue this tradition in 2023!
And that's where you come in...
We're asking that content creators from all communities and platforms - even folks who don't normally
produce Macintosh retrocomputing content - work together to help spread the word about #MARCHintosh - a
month-long event starting on Wednesday, March 1st, 2023.
I had no plans to partake in MARCHintosh at all until on the 7th of March I remembered the Twiggy Mac
prototype existed and could be emulated...
The Twiggy Mac and Sony Test pre-release version of System 1
Trying to emulate this stuff isn't too hard. You can grab the files for emulation from Toasty Tech.
This is the Sony Test version. I didn't get many screenshots of this as it was not very interesting.
Mac Paint that came with the Twiggy Mac stuff.
I wonder what the context of the cat person is for.
Trying to exit it would crash the Mac, lol.
More screenshots for #MARCHintosh of the Twiggy Mac :)
There seems to be a thing called "journal" but I am unsure on what it does. It has "Record", "Play" and
"Stop" along with "Exit" but trying to click any of them seems to crash the machine.
Why is not not a review post? Not really worth a review noting that I have so few screenshots plus Toasty
Tech has a better review of both the Sony Test and Twiggy Mac.
