    Design68: A 65% replacement keyboard using AppleDesign controllers

    Good point, probably could get away with 4 cores. I think I ordered so match the original cable (or maybe the s-video cable that likely had the shielding connected. I didn't solder that 5th wire to the shielding of the other ADB connector in the keyboard though, because I like having it...

    Can you share the STLs for the parts? I’m curious why the shipping was so high? I wonder if it’s because I have mostly only done small parts that can ship easily.

    Yeah. PcBWay was much more expensive BEFORE the tariffs. Give JLC3DP a try. My guess is it will be 1/2 to 1/4 of the PCBWay cost.

    Yeah, @tom_B has a much better understanding of the process than me. But much like I fumbled my way through the PCB design process, I stumbled my way through the full color PCB process. I only did it because JLCPCB had a coupon that made it almost free to do, so I read a guide, and used...

    I may be going overboard with this clear stuff. I made an updated version of this mount that I'm going to order in clear resin as well. Not really much value in doing a group buy on this one because I can only order one at a time and still get the cheaper shipping. If you wanted to do the...

    OK, I'll post here an update when the sample pair arrive. If they work, I'll place an order for a handful more for people who are interested. I just didn't want to order a bunch in case there were fitment issues.

    Yes, I've used the 8001 with the transparent oil spray finish. I've had some very good parts, and some that were not nearly as good. I think if you want the highest quality, I'd go with PCBWay, but they are significantly more expensive (5-10x).

    Apple IIe Card won't boot ProDOS

    This is a bit of a carry-over from my other IIe card post. I picked up a IIe card from eBay several months back. It was listed as working. I installed it in my Mystic Color Classic, and while the card was recognized and I can boot the IIe, no matter what I tried, I could not get it to run the...

    I highly recommend trying clear resin prints if you want to match the clear MacEffects case. I printed the mouse in my photos using JLC3DP. It’s not perfect, but it will be better than anything you can product using a filament printer. By a lot. I’ve printed clear cases for my HDI-45...

    Would people be interested in a group buy (at cost) for clear resin version of these adjustment knobs? it looks like I could get them for around $3 each if I ordered 10. I have a combined model that should print OK in resin. I'm going to print a couple out and see if they fit ok in the...

    It's a Design68 keyboard. This one is a bit modified from the original design to use a slightly different variant of the case. I go into the details in this post: https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/design68-a-65-replacement-keyboard-using-appledesign-controllers.2952/post-36774 But, I would...

    So, I ended up making my own. I found a clear sheathed S-video cable, but it was too thick for use with the design68 keyboard. I found some clear cables on aliexpress that worked for both the mouse and the keyboard. I then used some s-video mini-DIN 4 pin connectors for the other ends of the...

    Design68: A 65% replacement keyboard using AppleDesign controllers

    I realized I never posted the cables I ende4d up using. For the mouse, I used thinner wires and only a 4 wire bundle (I assume the lack of the 5th wire is because the mouse can't do daisy chaining?). But I ordered the cables from here...

    Let me know if you are looking for a case. I have an extra SE case and an extra logic board if you need. I assume you have the inside metal frame?

    I received my MacEffects case yesterday. I'm so glad they did another run of the clear because I always loved the look but missed out on previous sales. I've had an SE/30 with a reloaded board I've been keeping around with the intention of putting it in a clear case if I ever got the...
