| AvailableChecked Jul 24, 2026 | EMPLANT Upgrade Partsby Utilities Unlimited | Replaces or upgrades the custom logic and serial clock parts on an existing EMPLANT Amiga expansion board. All three parts were in stock on 2026-07-24. These listings do not include an EMPLANT board. The P3 page says an A- or B-model board also needs other necessary parts to become a C model, but it does not provide a complete conversion kit or parts list; inspect the existing board and original manual before buying. |

| AvailableChecked Jul 24, 2026 | ImageScribbler LocalSquawk Optionby Ian Scott | Adds LocalTalk networking to an Apple ImageWriter II or ImageWriter LQ printer. JCM's current page offered fully assembled and board-only choices on 2026-07-24. A DIY build needs correctly selected jumpers, a programmed EEPROM and NVSRAM, suitable board clearance, and several vintage chips. The project recommends installing the original-style grounding wire. |

| AvailableChecked Jul 24, 2026 | TashTalk USBby Feral Firmware and Tashtari | Connects a modern Mac or Linux computer directly to vintage LocalTalk computers and peripherals over USB. JCM showed 181 assembled units in stock on 2026-07-24. A standard Macintosh crossover serial cable or a LocalTalk dongle is still required; a straight-through serial cable will not work. TailTalk describes itself as a work-in-progress prototype and currently expects a routerless AppleTalk setup. |
