    BlueSCSI - PowerMac 6100/60 - Freezing and odd behavior

    Could you please share (or re-share) your mega link? As a relative newcomer to blueSCSI, I have run into odd issues with other drivers on pre-made images (solved using SilverLining, but I‘d rather use apple drivers). Thanks!

    SCSI2SD, RaSCSI and BlueSCSI

    I think we should make that appeal to @PotatoFi to share a Pi3 version, especially given the availability challenges, many of us might be repurposing our older models for this (which works great of course)

    SCSI2SD, RaSCSI and BlueSCSI

    I am using a modified case from @PotatoFi for my RaSCSI which is also running a 3B+. If I recall, I had to make some adjustments to fit as it was designed for the Pi 4. Great case though.

    BlueSCSI 1.1a Expansion Slot Bracket for SE and SE/30

    Hey, @PotatoFi I am looking at your item on the Prusa site and I believe I misinterpreted the ”remix” marker at the bottom. It says ”remix culture allowed” but of course, the bullet next to those line items is an “x” which, unless you are looking at others where it is a ”✔️“ it just looked like...

    BlueSCSI 1.1a Expansion Slot Bracket for SE and SE/30

    Hey @PotatoFi what do you think of this: For a while now I have been playing with your designs, making adjustments for different versions etc. but I started thinking about reverse mounting. . . instead of securing it from the inside, I pushed this through from the back and the screws go in...

    Troubleshooting SE/30 garbled screen, no chime before and after recap

    I can confirm ordering the same parts as rikerjoe above for my SE/30 from Mouser, and in addition, I ordered Texas Instruments / SN74F253DR I tried to find a picture of the board post-fix, but I don’t think I took one. I replaced the whole column of chips, possibly overkill, but it allowed me to...

    Keyboard—Help Identify what I have

    Yes. That looks like the same bezel. I took it apart last night. It’s the SMK, double-ribbon board inside. Yes to mechanical caps lock mechanism. I started pulling the keycaps which is tedious, but necessary to restore color. I am going to try to clean the bezel hoping the paint coating holds...

    What Beige Apple ADB keyboards/mice am I missing?

    Not sure if you are interested in a M0487 variant, but my post here: https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/keyboard-help-identify-what-i-have.949/ shows a Keyboard II that has a non-colored recessed logo. It also appears to be painted, but the logo seems different to me than a keyboard that has...

    Keyboard—Help Identify what I have

    There does appear to be paint flaking off the rubber feet, and on a couple of screws. In fact, there are areas under the flip-down feet where the surface is smooth as if shielded from overspray. Still, I am surprised at the quality if this was a DIY job, especially given the light texture...

    Keyboard—Help Identify what I have

    A few months ago I picked up a batch of stuff—some Mac SEs, a Classic, spare logic boards, a LOT of old HDDs, and a bag of keyboards. One of the keyboards is odd to me. It appears to be painted. . . maybe? It looks like a professional job, with a very subtle knock-down texture and a very very...

    Apple Store Grand Opening: Mall of America

    I am pretty sure I did get the t-shirt unless they ran out by the time we got in. As you can see, we were on the second floor before getting in line and it stretched all the way down and around the corner. I know I had a shirt (long since worn out) but I might be remembering the one from the...

    Mac Classic ROM chip - replacement or more troubleshooting? SOLVED

    Today, we finally had a chance to burn a couple EPROMs. Two out of four worked fine. The other two failed to write for some reason, even after successful erasing. I tested the custom ROM and the Classic boots right up! Very cool. Now I have a couple of spare. Even though the original ROM turned...

    Trouble Installing DaynaPort Drivers for RaSCSI

    Trouble Installing DaynaPort Drivers for RaSCSI

    I am trying to remember what I recently did to get those installed. I am starting to think that I actually created a physical floppy because I was running into the same problems.

    Apple Store Grand Opening: Mall of America

    It’s not an actual meet-up, but it was an event. Think of this as a retro-event. Perfect, right? These are photos during my visit to the opening of Apple Store #3, Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, USA. This is a suburb of the Twin Cities (Minneapolis and St. Paul). The date was August...

    Two Battery solutions using CR2032 holders

    I have seen several examples of using CR2032 battery holders as replacements for dead half-AA on compact Macs. Using this type of battery has been working fine for me on the SE/30, SE, Mac Classic, and I assume there are other systems that can use this solution as well. This is not news to most...

    Mac Classic ROM chip - replacement or more troubleshooting? SOLVED

    Successful Macintosh troubleshooting is rewarded with a chime! It‘s actually a great feeling to hear that when you have only received blank displays, stripes or checkerboard visuals. I am happy to report that I fixed the Mac Classic. After an easy recap and cleaning, this logic board had...

    Safe way to do a Post-recap Power Supply Smoke Test?

    You could at least power it up disconnected and put a meter on the pins to check voltages. If it is a Sony, it may be nice to do that before putting the cover on so you can turn the adjustment pot to set voltages where you want to account for reduction with load.

    Does the SE Astec PSU have a voltage adjustment?

    Yeah, a Sony is what is inside the other SE. I haven’t posted about the actual issue. I was having some weird errors trying to initialize a disk image. SCSI utilities would see the drive image on ID0 but it would not consistently mount. I expect the image was setup with Lido, and reinstalling...
