    In tech stuff, what's a little thing that just...bothers you more than it should?

    I really hate the way the windows 10 (and presumably 11) home don't let you set up a local account when you install it unless you (a) disconnect the PC from the internet or (b) enter "user" as a MS account, then enter a junk password at wich point it comes up with a error saying "something went...

    Performa 475 audio issue

    You would need to jump the pads that correspond to the switch or you'll get no audio at all, there isn't really any need to remove the headphone socket to so this Assuming the 475 uses the same headphone socket as the I/II/III this is a suitable replacement...

    Macintosh II & IIx replacement battery holders

    someone on 68kmla made clones of those (I can never remember who, the name ti springs to mind but I can't find the messages from when I brought one) I don't think the design was ever released though Edit: just found my (still unassembled) board, it was tt who made them

    Performa 475 audio issue

    Another possible culprit is the headphone connector, it has a little switch in it that switches between the internal speaker and the headphones so it is possible that if the inside of the port is corroded neither the internal speaker no headphones will work correctly

    Recommended Oscilloscope for retro computers?

    I brought one of these recently: https://uk.farnell.com/tenma/72-8710a/oscilloscope-2-ch-100mhz-1gsps/dp/2499520 It seems to work well enough for checking clocks and bus activity on retro computers It did however cost £130 less when I brought it!

    RGBtoHDMI for compact macs - need some help

    Ian's fork is the one I used (and is the same one he uses in the video) I will say I didn't have any luck with the preset Adrian has made and ended up having to recreate it, I was testing this with a Plus board but my understanding is the video signal on all the compacts are pretty much the...

    Macintosh connector part numbers

    Personally for 30pin vertical SIMM sockets I always use Winslow WS3130SMRRC form https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/memory-sockets/3789419/ I can verify these fit in SE/30, IIx and LC boards just fine

    Macintosh II with ROM-SIMM

    Yeah I have had that before.... I'm still annoyed that the LC475 memory controllers they listed as in stock weren't! Though saying that most of what I have tried to order that they have listed as in stock has actually been in stock at the price they listed. They are a useful source of obscure...

    Reverse Engineering the Macintosh LC Logicboard

    I suspect that was the case. Interestingly the prototype boards (at least the ones I have seen) use a EGRET with a different part number to the production boards (343S0100 VS 343S0851) Maybe apple used a version of the microcontroller with a higher drop out voltage on the prototypes? I can't...
