Unfortunately, the purchase was long enough ago that I don't think I have any recourse. And the seller may have done just enough testing to see that it booted into something, but not tried to boot from a ProDOS disk. Yeah, if there were schematics, I probably would give it a shot myself, but...

So, the aliexpress package got here today. The part was labelled as 17.234000 MHz, but no markings on voltage. The seller did confirm I wanted a 5v oscillator, so I was hopeful that was the case. I soldered it in, making sure the ground pin matched the ground through-hole on the board, and...

So I received the board and it was pretty rough. One pad ripped off (I think it was already detached before I started cleanup. The larger oscillator had two pins that remained in the board when I removed it, so it is not salvageable. The smaller one also left one of its legs on the board...

That was me. Here's the details of the machine. https://www.inventorydifferent.com/#!/devices/307 I just shipped one recently and it cost about $50 for the shipping + packing materials, double boxed. Of course, if you're close to Charlotte, NC, you could come pick up to save on shipping...

I was able to add it through TestFlight from the link you sent above. Just a couple of quick notes from using it very briefly: I was confused by having to go to the settings page to search for a device to pre-fill it on the Add device page. A search of template selection on the add device...

I forgot to ask. Is there an easy way for me to test this when it arrives before installing? Can I send 5v through it and see the frequency on an oscilloscope?

Yeah, the card is on its way to me. I got caps and the Y1 on the way from DigiKey. I was able to find what appeared to be a reputable seller who responded when I asked about custom frequency. He even followed up to confirm 5V, which I appreciated. After I get the card and remove the caps...

That's awesome information. Your link didn't work in the US, but I found this seller who was willing to make one in that frequency with 5v in the DIP-14 full size. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256808009232675.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2usa I'm just waiting on confirmation from the guy that He'd...

I helped a guy in my area by recapping his LC logic board and its power supply. Well, he found his Apple IIe card for it and unfortunately it looks to be in very bad shape. Looks like that capacitor on the left has eaten away what look to be two oscillators? Just with different...

Do you have the details of the custom mount for the SD card extension, what SD card extension you used, etc. Also, the mount for the spicy o'clock. I have one that I haven't managed to install yet. Maybe this will be my motivation. Love the way you sliced it to allow for printing without...

Adding a detail field is definitely possible - I'm just using a mySQL database. I was simply commenting on the possible confusion of having notes about the work done on a device spread across two locations: general, dated notes, and maintenance specific notes. I currently removed the hard...

You made it into arstechnica! https://arstechnica.com/apple/2025/06/new-filament-lets-you-3d-print-parts-in-authentic-1980s-apple-computer-color/ I bet they’re gonna get a surge in sales!

I like some of the ideas you have. I may add some of these data points to mine. Appreciate the updates and hope we can come up with solutions that work for different people. Yours definitely has the advantage of being simpler to get running, since there is no server component. Excited to...

Right now notes are just a dated list in chronological order. I don't currently have maintenance activities as a generic data set so no way to directly link the two. I'll have to see how I might be able to provide that ability in a way that is intuitive and easy. I don't want things to get...

Since you seem to be in contact to them, one feedback maybe you could pass along is that their site doesn’t make it clear on the order page that shipping is available. When I went to the page before, it looked like they only offered local pickup. if they could add something like “shipping...
