Curiously, the AppleScan software doesn't find it. And even more curious, the scanner shows itself as a "Abaton Scan 300/GS" in SCSIProbe. Not sure, but I expected it to say "Apple" as the vendor!

It suffered some damage on the way here, unfortunately. The lid hinge cracked and the front corners took some abuse.
Still, it has the classic Snow White design language like its other siblings like the ImageWriter II, ImageWriter LQ, and LaserWriter II that I just love.

Remember the green lamp it used? Happy this one still works as it seems those lamps are not made anymore.
New addition of old: The Apple Scanner, the original monochrome SCSI scanner from 1988 in all of its Snow White glory.
This week has totally destroyed my confidence as a fixer, as everything I touched is in worse condition than when I started. Let's see if I can build back a little credibility by rebuilding this Mac Plus that was hit with a battery bomb.

A brand new 68k Mac emulator quietly dropped last night!!
“Snow” can emulate the Mac 128k, 512k, Plus, SE, Classic, and II. It supports reading disks from bitstream and flux-floppy images, and offers full execution control and debugging features for the emulated CPU. Written using Rust, it doesn't do any ROM patching or system call interception, instead aiming for accurate hardware-level emulation.

After a long, multi-month break, it’s time to get back to archiving my collection of vintage Mac floppies!
Tonight I’ve got a couple more disks from VMUG, my local Mac user’s group. The first disk is a Christmas disk-of-the-month that has some exclusive icons and cursors - which, as far as I know, don’t exist anywhere online (until now). The second has a number of assorted games, mostly card games but a few others as well. These are both from the ‘96/‘97 timeframe.
Here’s my new additions to the Macintosh Garden from these disks:
InCDius GH - https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/incdius-gh
Pema’s Cursors - https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/pemas-cursors
Pema’s Christmas Icons - https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/pemas-christmas-icons
Monte Carlo Solitaire - https://macintoshgarden.org/games/monte-carlo-solitaire
Fortress - https://macintoshgarden.org/games/fortress
Romi (already existed on the Garden, I added version 1.7.0) - https://macintoshgarden.org/games/romi
I’ve got a LOT more coming over the next few days, with at least one rare program that isn’t possible to run under emulation (as far as I know), so stay tuned!
