I ordered the Korad KA3005D, which may not be original, but worth a shot. I was tempted by the Frinsi DPS-150. The Korad should arrive soon and I’ll put it through its paces.

I edited my post above because I was wrong… The GitHub page for the original Power Up IIusi design is still available at https://github.com/CayMac-Team/IIsi-PCB-Replacement.

If I remember correctly, I was seeing the ripple on the 12V DC before it got to the PicoPSU. So, it seemed to be coming from the AC/DC converter.

I’ve had the Mac-o-Meter plugged into the external floppy port while running the IIsi through its paces and not noticed any significant voltage drop. However, the heaviest load I’ve put on it is a PowerPC upgrade card and a BlueSCSI. Like its LC siblings, the IIsi was not made for serious...

I should have added that I have a couple of the earlier PicoPSU boards, complete with parts (except with IIsi wiring harness and mains plug), available if anyone want to pay the shipping to get them.

I have built both versions of CayMac’s Power Up IIusi. The first used a PicoPSU, and the second is the model in this thread with separate Mean Well units. I prefer the Mean Well version because it requires no modification to the mains outlet and it produces cleaner power. The PicoPSU version...

I tried running it through the Container Station GUI, which lets you bring in yaml files. I suspect this was my problem. An SSH terminal may be a better method.

Any recommendations for a bench power supply? I have a basic model, and I’m ready to upgrade to something with more intuitive controls. For something as important as power testing, I don’t want to make a dumb mistake due to a stupid knob or clumsy button.

The video showed up in my feed this morning. You did a great job, both with the project and the video. I was impressed with the thoroughness of the documentation. Very professional. I'd be interested in a group buy, if that takes off.

Thank you! I have been using this as a project log, which may not be how some would like to see the forum used. I figure this information might help someone else if they get a similar machine or face similar problems. I appreciate you reaching out and providing some encouragement! I'm a bit...

Wait a minute... I have been thinking of the AT power supply connector backwards. I've been going at this all wrong. When I plugged in the PSU, I should have noticed my mistake, but I did realized the problem when I started checking resistance between the power supply connector pins and the ISA...

I opened the power supply and found it to be dusty and in otherwise good shape. I cleaned everything, oiled the fan, and tested the PSU. It ran just fine. So I decided to plug it into the motherboard and see what happened--and nothing happened. The power protection kicked in. That got me...

Thanks. I do think the issue I was having was container-to-container communication. I was using the docker-compose.simple.yaml configuration, but I suspect the fault lies with how Synology’s Container Station executed the setup. I briefly played around with SSHing into the Synology, and doing...

I got a refurb ThinkPad T14 G2 Ryzen recently. Like you, I was really impressed with the processor, but the screen looks washed out. I also have a G1 T14 (Intel) and its screen is amazing. It’s good to know there may be options.

First, let me say that I'm a novice with Docker, so I'm sure I'm missing something obvious. I was able to get the project running on my Synology NAS, and I can access the site at https://myipaddress:3000, but when it loads, there is a spinning command symbol saying it is loading my devices, and...
