Haha, maybe I'll see you there :) Sounds like it's fun!

I know it's a bit early haha, just just curious as to see who's coming to this year's VCF Swap Meet in NJ in two months! I'm very excited for my second VCF and first Swap Meet, and hope to see some familiar faces and people from the forums :) Would love to hear what it's like as well if anyone...

Recently I fully recapped the analog board and motherboard of my Mac Plus (4Mb and a 16Mhz accelrator!) and installed a BlueSCSI. I was messing around with different OS installs and suddenly it boots with error code 0F002. I've also noticed, for some reason instead of the CRT turning off...

@AlexMac Would love a 3D file on Thingiverse or something similar. I also wondering this, so thanks for making it!

I would have to be @Garrett is correct. If that doesn't work, another thing you could look at is the fan. Sometimes they can start to create some interference causing somewhat similar results. They get old and really loud. It's a long shot, but you never know :)

Sounds good! Hopefully there will be another run at some point in the near future :) Out of curiosity, have you ever considered making reproduction SE/30 programmer switches that use the original plastics/coloring? Or better yet, a reproduction original style case?

@MacEffects Will they be available again at any point? I just blew a lot of money on my SE/30 haha so was hoping it may be available on your site at some point. Great work btw!

Attached is a photo of the whole board and just the area the accelerator is installed. Lmk if you need any other photos! Out of curiosity, do you happen to have one?

Of course! I'll get you a photo when I'm doing the diode mod tomorrow! Any ideas about my above questions? Thanks!

@vtgeargead Ah okay. On the other side of the leg coming off the flyback there looks to be some corrosion. Is one Flyback better than the other? Already bought a Console5 kit for both analog boards. Do you know if it comes with the RIFAs?

@vtgearhead Cool, best of luck on that endeavor! Any idea about the flyback transformer or other questions I posted? Thanks!

@vtgearhead No bodge wires that I can see or anything. Haven't got it booting yet since I don't have a monitor -- do you have a recommendation for a monitor to purchase? Is the Dove 030 very rare? -- Also, what do you mean by the 512ke board -- Ihad thought it was a 512k, not 512ke? Also, do...

Hello! Just yesterday, I picked up two compact macs, a Mac II, and a first generation iPod. However, both compact macs have interesting upgrades. Both work (after a quick reflow of the analog board) and are pretty clean inside. They also have fan mods! The Mac Plus has a 68000 16Mhz upgrade by...

Huh, never thought about it like that. My only concern would be removing the motherboard from the computer, but I could probably use some little connect wires 1 or 2 pin connectors and wire them up like that. I will let everybody know how it goes once I have a chance and get my motherboard back!
