Sadly, stupid Mouser postponed the date that the out of stock capacitors were due to be delivered to them. It was originally scheduled for October 19th and now they’re saying 30th.

It's Monday morning and the machine was connected during the weekend. Pressing the power key caused the normal Bong song and the HDD spun up and the LCD backlight illuminated, but 10 seconds later, it suddenly lost power. ~!@#$%^&*(! 😤 Anyway, this test seems to indicate that a PMU Reset is...

I've never owned an Xbox of any kind, so I am not equipped to answer that question. It's been two days since my last post. Today, I pressed the power key and got nothing. Normally, if I leave it at least a couple days plugged into the wall, it will most often power on, but not today...

@wottle , you're amazing! LISA-FPGA owners like me wish to THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your hard work on making the experience INSANELY GREAT!

I left the PDQ in its LED-blinking sleep state over our 3-day holiday weekend, and when I arrived back in the office, the LED was no longer blinking, and pressing the Power key did nothing. So even while in Sleep, the stupid sudden power-loss problem still rears is pathetic ugly head. 😡

I've been pressing the darned Power key every freaking day and finally today the "semi-good" PDQ booted. I was able to booted from an OS 9.0.4 CD, do an OS install, download software from Macintosh Garden, and do other things for more than 1 hour, and it didn't suddenly power off. I was out of...

I've not flashed or watching any videos about flashing yet. But I take it there's no way to easily re-flash it while inside the case?

Thanks for the link and the mention of those side advantages, which are great because I've never upgraded the firmware on my board. QUESTION... Your Github says this: Image offset/alignment tuning and resolution modes, so the picture lands correctly in the case's screen opening. Currently, I...

I did more voltage measurements today. When the "semi-good" PDQ refuses to power-ON, I can still press the keyboard keys & PWR key to do a PMU reset, and as long as I hold down those keys, the fan runs at full blast. The fan is so loud it's impossible to hear the hard drive, but I confirmed...

Oh, bless you, @wottle ! I didn't want to mention that failing too much after having received my LISA-FPGA because I didn't want the creator or others to think me unhappy or ungrateful for the incredible device it is; but honestly, it was really sad I couldn't use any of the keyboards I had. I...

I waited about 24 hours. When I pressed the power key this morning, it gave me the boot chime right away, did the memory checks (painful -- I wish we could ROM-flash those away!), and then it started to boot by showing the little happy Mac icon, but it suddenly lost power seconds after that...

QuickBench graphs below compare performance of NuCF to MacSD in my SE/30 with 50MHz CPU-socketed Daystar PowerCache. Interestingly, NuCF seems to be rather slow a Random Writes in the 1KB through 32MB tests, although it wins handily at all other tests. Below

If by "PSU" you mean the "external AC Adapter," then as I mentioned in my earlier posts, I purchased a brand new, modern power brick with more than a half Amp more power output than the stock, and to make the connector fit, I purchased a special adapter too. So it is absolutely not the external...

What is the complete list of compatible PowerBooks? I myself have a Wallstreet PDQ. When I used this mSATA-to-IDE adapter with this SSD, I found these two issues: 1. It wouldn't boot until I formatted it with FWB HD Toolkit 4.x. 2. Even though it boots OS 9.2.1 just fine and recognizes my...

I left the machine connected to the AC Adapter over the weekend. (The "good" one, not the one that never powers on.) It booted up right away when I pressed the power key today (Monday morning). I used it for 30 minutes without issue, then it suddenly lost power. I waited 60 seconds, then...
