    Bolle's Recreation daystar acceleration board

    But, if you are in the US keep in mind that most of the EU has stopped forwarding packages with US addresses. Something about "winning", I think?

    Recapped Mac II with NUBUS issue

    You may have a fractured or digested pin on one of the ICs.

    Macintosh Classic Floppy Drives - auto-inject.

    I find it's much simpler and safer to remove the entire "top" (load) assembly before accessing the heads. There's a great video on YouTube that walks through faking a diskette load to collapse the loader, disconnecting tension coil springs on the sides and lifting it clear.

    SE/30 Recap Gone Wrong

    Did you recap the analog board as well? If so you may have inadvertently broken the vertical circuitry. In particular, examine the height pot and surrounding area.

    Macintosh Classic Floppy Drives - auto-inject.

    Earlier this week I did the same thing to one of my SuperDrive mechanisms. After a bit of shameful language, I realized the little coil spring inside the head assembly had several notches available to increase head pressure. Moving it up to the next (higher) position was enough to do the trick...

    Looks like I've joined the NEXT Club, I Do Have Some Questions Though.

    Are there any free hardware projects to build soundbox work-alikes?

    Nextstation Color Turbo display characteristics

    I've found a post that outlines the default video mode in great detail. What I'm curious about is if the machine pays attention to sense signals from the monitor such that alternate resolutions are possible. The 13W3 connector carries signals for this purpose.

    The BlueSCSI Project: Replacing My Dead Quantum ProDrive

    BlueSCSI / ZuluSCSI wifi provides a network interface that pretends it's a DaynaPORT SC (SCSI). Setup is quite simple: Configure the Blue/Zulu with the name and password for your Wifi access point and install the Dayna driver. Note that it's TCP/IP only and does not pass AFP frames. One...

    68040 CPU & Heatsink CLIP for Color Classic Mystic (LC575 Motherboard)

    The larger "GDSTime" fan does a great job. I printed a simple adapter to mount it in the original fan location.

    68040 CPU & Heatsink CLIP for Color Classic Mystic (LC575 Motherboard)

    Ah - that would absolutely work. Must be my bad luck with search in general. I was trying to lookup "right angle blower" and came up with nothing. Ordered.

    LC475 with no sound output

    FIXED: Problem was a rotted -5V contact on the power supply molex plug. Looked fine from the outside and measured continuity when a test lead was stuck in... Simple, but ran me around in circles for a bit.

    68040 CPU & Heatsink CLIP for Color Classic Mystic (LC575 Motherboard)

    I need a fan solution that fits in an LC case - very restricted height. A fan placed directly on the heatsink has insufficient vertical clearance to move any air, so somehow it would need to be off the side at an angle. The standard fan does not move enough air to do the job. It really needs...
