Great write-up! Is this something we should consider adding on machines that don't have it?

That's great to hear that there is an alternative to the Safts! As for the riser board, the II and IIx had the batteries next to each other, wheras on the IIfx, they're far separated. I wonder if that had something to do with it.

I've been wondering, in the official battery upgrade from apple, the batteries are situated on a little riser board, and there is a capacitor installed as well. What is the purpose of that capacitor? It's not present on the original logic board, so obviously some in engineering thought it would...

Just saw that v4 was released. Congrats on the new milestone, and for deciphering NDIF!

So in comparing the pinout of the 2702 (courtesy of @Stephen at the top of this thread!) and that of CGA, it looks like what happens is that the video line from the adapter is just tied to R, G, and B, meaning they'll be recombined by the monitor to form the full picture. I'm not really looking...

I just got one of the Power R adapters for my Mac Plus, but it came with its original instructions, which state that it's from "Apollo Audio Visual", and that it's a "PC-9677", despite having the 2702 moniker on the device itself, and even Power R on the cable! I've yet to try it (I don't know...

My next project is to upgrade the WiFi and Bluetooth, which people have also figured out how to do. People have even managed to add USB 3.0 to it as well!

No worries! Currently I have it running Ventura, and, with few exceptions, it's been excellent. Mine is a 27" 2010 iMac with the maximum 2.93 GHz quad-core i7 CPU and 32GB RAM installed (double what Apple said was the limit, but people quickly discovered that it could easily accept more), and...

Hey, I'm still using a 2010 iMac as my primary machine. Thank goodness for OCLP!

PS: I've scanned and uploaded the Brainstorm User's Guide for the Mac Plus to the Garden if anyone's interested: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/brainstorm-accelerator

I just purchased an unused (and very reasonably priced!) Brainstorm Accelerator for a Macintosh Plus. However, it's just the accelerator and its various ancillary bits, new and uninstalled. I know there are pictures outlining how it's all supposed to go, but does anyone happen to have the...

That's true! I forgot about that part, that would definitely be handy. :)

We can put an alias of it in the Startup Items folder, and it should be functionally the same. Plus, the modern dock is its own application as well.

@ESM-NL - I went ahead and added all the versions of the driver that I had to the page as separate downloads. I also edited the description for clarity. Also also, I added a version history document that I compiled not too long ago.

Kennect combined the extension and the cdev at some point, so it's just the control panel after that.
