The design for my clone of Apple's ImageWriter II/LQ LocalTalk Option, the #ImageScribbler LocalSquawk option, is officially released! There's still time to get/make one and get your ImageWriter on #GlobalTalk before #MARCHintosh is over. CC0 licensed, KiCad/Gerbers/BOM at github.com/polpo/images...
Sign up to be notified when #ImageScribbler boards get stocked on Joe’s store! I’ve been furiously building/testing them and that should be soon.
jcm-1.com will be stocking fully assembled #ImageScribbler boards as well as PCBs for DIYers, and the project is also fully open source with KiCad design files and Gerbers available. Every board sold gets its own special test print along with it :) #MARCHintosh

About to be released just as #MARCHintosh is kicking off: the #ImageScribbler LocalSquawk Option board, aka my clone of Apple’s ImageWriter II/LQ LocalTalk Option board. With this you can get your ImageWriter on #GlobalTalk! #LiveLaughLocaltalk
#MARCHintosh is almost upon us and tonight I'll be showing off the #ImageScribbler board on this kickoff stream hosted by @ronscompvids.bsky.social l! I hope to have both fully assembled boards and bare PCBs for DIYers available for sale soon so people can get their ImageWriter IIs on #GlobalTalk!

I got this wonderful print over #GlobalTalk from fellow Friend To ImageWriters @mac84.bsky.social! I’ve never seen a more realistic drawing of an ImageWriter II #LiveLaughLocalTalk #ImageScribbler

Got the LocalTalk option clone stable by replicating Apple's factory bodge on the -B version of the card that tweaks the reset circuit! #ImageScribbler
