I decided I wanted a WarpSE accelerator. This is what I did to get one.

I'm having trouble finding the exact quote from the WarpSE thread, where Zane talks about being completely fine with people using his hard work and skills, to reproduce these accelerators for themselves…

Zane’s public statement about that is here:

Free to be forked at any time: https://github.com/garrettsworkshop/Warp-SE

I’ll put our usual license in later (which is some poorly written document which I have no idea if it’s enforceable) but basically you can do any commercial stuff with it as long as you remove the Garrett’s Workshop logos from the board.

Removed the GW logo from the prerelease Rev.3 USB PCB, in KiCad:

Created a new gerber from the above and uploaded it to JLCPCB:

Looks like $31.90 for (5) green PCB's at JLCPCB.

$51.35 total, with shipping, or $10.27 per individual PCB.

I'd have to solder each SMD/chip component by hand, in order to build the (2) I'd want.

BOM and component placement numbers are included as .CSV files in the gerber.zip attached below.

This should be everything necessary to build these, assuming this is the correct PCB revision, which I believe it is.

Fingers crossed you got the right PCB version! Thank you for the effort to find out.

You're welcome! In looking at the WarpSE thread, the September 5th 2024 post from Zane, was the PCB version that was sent out to the testers, they all replied that they had received working accelerators (while working through the firmware bugs):

That would coincide with the late September, early October PCB Rev.3 with USB power, PCB, found at Github:

GitHub - garrettsworkshop/WarpSE at c25a73cd2f581f2d71eee4e4caad36e08887e612

WIP 25 MHz MC68HC000-based accelerator card for Macintosh SE - garrettsworkshop/WarpSE

github.com

When the OP said that the last revision of the PCB was not working, Rev.3 would be the one that the testers received and reported to be working, prior to the final PCB.



If I were to build these WarpSE boards, I'd need to sell this SE/30 logic board first, it's been recapped, ultrasonic cleaned, and has all 105°C caps; it has 8Mb of mixed RAM, and was fully tested with a TechStep, all functions work like new. Comes with PRAM also, either Pxcell lithium with the top clip, or a CR232 adapter and coin cell.
