I was expecting a package from Amazon today that I needed to work on the IIsi. However, this morning, Amazon gave me the inconvenient news: delivery is delayed by a day (or more?). IIsigh.
Conveniently (see what I did there?), I have a few other projects on my workbench: I have an XT motherboard that needs new ROMs programmed. I have an ultrasonically-cleaned LC 475 logic board that needs to be tested. And I have potential regrets™.
Will I get the XT board that I was working on during Dave's stream booting again? Will the LC 475 "just work" now that the board has been cleaned? Will we try to format some MFM drives? You'll have to watch to find out!

![ImageWriter Color Printing with LocalTalk: Will I Get LocalTalk Working? (Computerized Start™ Live)
Last week, we unboxed an eBay Regret™: an ImageWriter II that was packed in old envelopes and bed sheets. Of course it didnt survive shipping by Oops. But the LocalTalk/AppleTalk card inside seems to have survived.
Luckily I have another ImageWriter II that should work, though I only more recently picked up a box of tractor feed paper and a reproduction ribbon from @MacEffects88 to be able to test it.
Since Id like to make part of my VCF East exhibit print-and-take-home interactive, I need a way to make my color printer ribbons last all weekend (or MacEffects to restock, one). Thats why I would like to check out the MacPallette II printer driver, as it may extend the life of my ribbon stock. [Its either that or I have to se up a printer emulator and use a modern printer.]
Will my ImageWriter II work? Will I get LocalTalk working? Will I have time to try MacPallette II? Youll have to watch to find out!
