Apparently NeXT machines had proprietary displays that included speakers, sound in/out, and the keyboard connection (ADB) for the computer. The Sound Box along with a Y cable let you use "standard" rebadged or 3rd party displays. Good explanation here:

Great write up, always enjoy reading about hard fought victories like this!

The cut corner PCB made me think of the MacSense E-440 NuBus Ethernet card Macsense-440-NuBus-Network-Adapter but the component layout is very different...

I'm beginning to suspect this one might not be legit either...

Apple has long held an iron grip on the materials and tools required to repair their devices but starting today I'm doing my small part to level the playing field by introducing a PowerBook Duo Battery Contact Alignment Tool rental service! Never again wonder if your battery contacts have...

Alien = First movie to give me nightmares after watching on VHS (in ~1988 at age 11). The gritty realism made it connect at a level very different level from the Star Trek world I had grown to love, which didn’t go ”there”. Aliens = OMG WTF was that! James Cameron’s epic bowled me and friends...

Glad to help. Awesome is right!

Tested with my multimeter, it is center positive.

I just tried my BlueSCSI v2 external DB-25 with my Performa 6360 and it worked fine. Absolutely could be another issue uncovered by the above mentioned troubleshooting steps but are you sure you have v2? I only ask because I was never able to get my BlueSCSI v1 external DB-25 to work with that...

I wonder if those limits only apply when using the original spec IIci power supply and if you have a newer, higher rated one you might have more power that the Nubus slots could use. The same power supply form factor was used in the IIcx, IIci, IIvx, Q700, C/Q650 and PM7100 with the later ones...

I’d be interested!

I used non-polarized ceramic caps when I did my PowerBook 150 and Duo 230 LCDs, both are working fine: 3.3µF - 35V - SMT - MLCC - Mouser 810-C3216X7R1V335M6A However, before I knew about that option I did use these tantalums when I did my PowerBook 100 LCD, which work just as well: 3.3µF -...

I recently picked back up on this, sparked in no small part by getting a 3D printer for Christmas (a Bambu Labs A1 mini). This lead me to go with option A and learn some 3D modeling, starting with how to tweak existing models somewhat using FreeCAD and YouTube tutorials. I decided to modify...

As I'm the one who asked, thanks very much for posting this. I do agree with others (like @JDW I think?) that it is important that a wide net is cast to get feedback on this issue and I had incorrectly guessed that this reach out to Tinker different Discord users may not have been done in a...

I appreciate your explanation of your intention but I think it's important to let people know how they are coming across to others in their communications regardless. The mutual poking fun you refer to seems quite passive aggressive in my opinion. Of course this is only my opinion so I certainly...
