Did you ever find the Rev B RFSHCNTL.PLD source — the version updated for GAL22V10?

I just did a "reorder" of my 2021 order on JLCPCB of the boards in question. The price of the boards was about the same at ~$50, plus a smidgeon. Last time, the shipping was $3... This time shipping is about $40 with another $18 in tariffs and about $8 in taxes. Total ended up at $120...

The boards I'm looking at are ~4.5" X 1.25" (113MM X 32MM) 4 layers. I think the last time I ordered 20 of them from JLCPCB they were a little over $50 total, including shipping, but that was back in 2020 or 2022.

Thank you for the heads up. I will definitely compare carefully before ordering. Although, if PCBWay takes forever, maybe I need to order now... Or punt to next year.

Customs duties were more than 100% of the cost of the boards? How does that happen? I ordered some parts from Japan last month and I think customs ended up being about 15%. Different countries I guess?

Found them here: https://www.performance-pcs.com/products/antec-92mm-smartcool-fan-sleeved-smartcool92-d-html?variant=45715156664535 at a purported price of $1.06 each. I've never ordered from those folks before.

Are you aiming for a modern Mac OS game? As opposed to running on old Classic Mac OS, like System 9? I ask because (IIRC) "The Lost Treasures of Infocom" game collection was a large collection of text based games that all (or most?) ran on the same framework application with a change in the...

It's been a while since I ordered any boards. How much time should I allow from order placement to delivery in the USA for a JLCPCB order? Whatever shipping is inexpensive, not anything expedited and expensive. I'm thinking about assembling some boards for VCFMW 2026 and am working out by...

Is it possible you've typed some posts and forgot to hit the "Post reply" button? That's one of my favorite tricks. Especially for more involved postings where a lot of my attention might be on reference material.

Yes, actual Mac SCSI performance was much lower than theoretical, but.... Mac network performance was also much slower than theoretical transfer speeds.

I found the packaging from one I ordered back in 2005. Boy I'm a pack rat. I don't know if this old of a part number will help but it can't hurt. It's Digikey. P/N: A9BAA-1708E-ND Description: Flex Cable -- AFJ17A/AE17/AFH17T

Geeze, it's been a long time. Maybe FFC? I think when I was ordering a replacement they still mailed out a paper catalog, about the size of a phone book, not that anyone knows what that is anymore either. Sigh.

It's been about 30 years since I had eight of these to work on/with, but I think you may need to replace the flat flex cable to the display. I don't know if t hey still do, but Digikey used to sell one with the correct number of conductors, the right pitch and the needed ends.

Thank you. Is there an analogous part on the SE or Plus, or is this an Outbound innovation?

Interesting that there is a 32K X 8 static RAM on board. M5M5256bkp Does the Plus/SE have one of those? I never noticed before. Or is that doing PRAM duty that a custom clock/PRAM chip would do in the Plus/SE?
