| | [AI summary] The article details the author's extensive project involving the restoration and enhancement of a Macintosh 512K computer, starting with the goal of experiencing the original Macintosh's capabilities. The process included downgrading the ROM to match the original 128K Mac, installing a custom switcher board to toggle between 128K and 512K RAM, repairing various hardware components such as the floppy drive and keyboard, and integrating upgrades like the SCSI and memory expansion. The project evolved into a complex endeavor with numerous challenges and learning experiences, ultimately resulting in a more functional and usable 512K system that closely resembles a Macintosh Plus.

| [AI summary] This is a detailed account of the design and implementation of a trailing edge dimmer circuit for a lamp. The author explored various components and concepts, including current sources, pulse generation, and the challenges of achieving a linear ramp for dimming. Despite the project's complexity, the author found the dimming performance to be less than ideal due to nonlinearity in the ramp and flicker in the output. The project concluded with a decision to pursue an alternative solution, such as a rotary switch, instead of a dimmer.
