Slightly belated response from me on this, apologies. I had heard back from Luke from Console5 but didn't get around to wading through my inbox until today. Luke from Console5 shared this with me: The product listing and Wiki page have also been updated to include the relevant information...

Yes, that indeed was my intended meaning, quite good to have that be made extra clear, thank you!

Same here, I'm glad it measured correctly. I've reached out to Luke to ask about this (and to ask if he's able to put detailed specs in his product listing as-well as update the Console5 wiki), I'll follow up with any updates I might get pertaining this! Indeed I did yes. I understand that...

Apologies for the belated response. I was able to measure the resistance of the resistor yesterday, and can happily report that it does measure correctly at ~100Ω. I was working on the analog board of my CC I too was scratching my head, as as I couldn't make sense of its value based on its color...

This might be a good place to mention that Luke from Console5 has graciously answered my request of turning your list of diodes/resistors into a ready to buy kit. His kits have been a life saver for folk like me who don't really have easy access to Mouser or the like. Here's the link, in case it...

Wow, what a journey!

Interesting. The "MacBatt" CR2032 solution I'm using seems to be lasting much longer than that. Since my CC has been a work-in-progress due to one particular issue it's been having that I've not yet been able to solve, but for the ~1.5 years I've had it so far and with it off most of the time...

Oh yes, totally get that. Even with modern replacements like those CR2032 adapters, with us not really being able to use these macs as frequently as we could back in the day, you're bound to run into empty batteries again sooner or later. I wonder, as your CC is running some version of Mac OS...

Thanks for the thoughtful response JDW! I get that from a power consumption point of view this wouldn't have considered problematic, especially when it was released. For me I was considering this more from the point of view of seeing several components remain live that get so very hot. I am not...

Ever so slightly off-topic, but do you or anyone else happen to know if keeping parts of a Macintosh hot/live like this was common in those days, and if so why? I had always sort of assumed that this was just one of the several quirks of the odd little duckling that is the CC, but I don't know...

Yeah Yeah, it seems like there's no mention of the third light (on the PCB) even, which is easily visible on their transparent models. Unfortunately there seems to be little helpful information out there, which makes this whole endeavor "slightly" more challenging. It also doesn't help that it...

I'm no expert on any of this, but from my small attempts trying to get mine to do anything more than just blink it did not appear to be an issue on the mechanical side. To test this I temporarily swapped the sensor/mechanical parts with a known good model's (a SCSI variant), which yielded the...

This sounds exactly like the behavior mine has. I purchased it used (and "untested") on eBay and of the now four ZIP100 drives I somehow ended up with, this is the only USB one and the only one with the exact issue as you describe. Sadly there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of love for these...

I too would want to recommend to start making something and worrying about the paperwork side as a next step. To add one more bit; if you're not in the US and so want to register as a business there, Stripe's Atlas program might be worth a closer look. Good luck! 😊

This might be in the wrong corner, but as yours blinks three times to indicate it can't find any disk image I wanted to ask: how* did you format your SD card? As in, to which file system format and if applicable, with which utility?
