    Tools and Techniques

    Finding the right balance of having a separate section for everything, without it getting overly convoluted and bewildering is a challenge. We try and cater for as many interests as we can, without reaching a point where no one can find anything. While we don't have a section specifically named...

    Help identifying missing component on RasterOps NuBus card

    Thanks Colin, Yes, every other tant cap of the same physical size on the card is a 10µf 16V, so my guess is the missing one is the same, but I just wanted to be certain.

    Help identifying missing component on RasterOps NuBus card

    Hi all, I have a RasterOps 8XL NuBus graphics card and it's missing a tantalum capacitor from location C50 (see pictures). Every other tant cap of the same size on the board is 10µf 16V, so my guess is the missing one is the same, but I'd like to be certain. If anyone else has one of these...

    Radius Rocket & Radius Thunder 24/GT compatible?

    Mac Classic I ROM Boot w/ BlueSCSI Issue [Resolved]

    I suspect that if you'd left the computer long enough it would have eventually mounted. Was the activity light illuminated while it was stuck in this state?

    Ultrasonic Cleaners and ESD

    That one looks pretty good to me. It has 360W of cleaning power, which means it will have 6 x 60W transducers. The rule of thumb is 25W per litre of liquid, so 360W is perfect for 15L. It has 600W heating power, which is a lot, so it should heat up nice and quickly. The price looks good too.
