Really well done @jmacz Thanks for sharing this great model :)

Sure, happy to share it with you. Little disclaimer: I never had the original stand and nobody ever shared measurements or detailed photos of it with me. So I made it as good as I could from the few pictures I found. It does the job but it is not identical to the original. A closer copy of...

A ‚BlackSCSI’ special edition could be another option maybe 😁

Hi all, I made a new mount now with a even further refined shape, a NeXT Logo and the screw posts for the latest BlueSCSI with the changed holes

I recently got a NeXT Trinitron monitor. It switches on and stays on (green light). But no picture. I have a few color stations, but unfortunately only one Soundbox (which might be the problem, maybe?). Got no other NeXT Color monitor which I could test. Probably a recap needed for the...

I also made another one for my Next Cube

Refined the BlueSCSI Mount for the NeXT Station and printed it with my new Bambu Lab A1

Haha, yes. I never opened one of these iBooks personally. Just a few Titanium and Aluminum PowerBooks. What I had to do is crack open the SSD enclosure as the whole SSD would never fit into the case when used with the IDE converter. But that was no problem after initial hesitation. The actual...

WiFi reception will be better outside the case. From my experience the external BlueSCSI is more practical, especially if you have more than one Mac. On the other hand it is cleaner to have it internal and if you make the SD card slot available externally one bigger downside dissolves (having to...

Yes, I recapped the board. Measured everything out and found good continuity. Some caps I used (near the audio area) are tantalums others are the red cylindrical ones by Würth. Thanks for the hint to check the new caps for bridging something. I will definitely do that. The diagnostic mode...

More obeservations: When I pull all RAM SIMMs I am getting a chime and NO sad Mac sound. Still getting no video though. When I hold down the combination of Ctrl, CMD and Power Key I am getting yellow, green or grey video until I let the keys go...

Voltages are 4.96v and 12.2v

Well, quick Moment of Video 🥸

Thank you so much! I just reinstalled the part and system powers up. Even a chime is coming. But sad Mac crash sound right after it and no video - any ideas? PSU seems to be ok though
