    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...

    LC475 with no sound output

    I think I need a bit of help in troubleshooting my LC475. I'm scratching my head a bit over the schematic on page 13. A scope on pins 18 (or 19) of the DFAC chip shows that PWM is being generated when I trigger a notification. It reads a steady square wave under quiet conditions that then...

    Boot LC475 without battery?

    Very interesting! Thanks for the confirmation that it's working correctly. Saved me a lot of grief trying to troubleshoot a problem that isn't one. Now, on to the intermittent sound - but that's for another topic after more investigation on the bench.

    Boot LC475 without battery?

    Should I be able to boot an LC475 with no CMOS battery installed in the system? I've just acquired one that refuses to start without a battery and do not believe that's the expected behavior. If I'm correct in that assumption, any idea where to start troubleshooting? (Apologies - I had...

    Are you using heat sink compound with this arrangement or staying with tape?

    LC III recapped. I get a chime on boot, static after

    Heh. My LC II did the same thing - wild squealing that changed with pressure in the left rear of the board. A recap later all was good. I think I lucked out and caught it before too much damage had been done.
