    Is the AMTECH 559 PLUNGER botched?

    My last 30cc tube was terrible. I lost so much flux, seeping out onto the bench top. Thankfully, it doesn't seem to do the same with the 10cc tubes, so that's what I use now. I also use my own 3D printed plunger. I made it so that it fits really snuggly in the tube, but also allows air to flow...

    Missing capacitors on Umax Gemini secondary CPU card

    I haven't had it under the microscope yet, but at a glance, it looks like the missing resistors are meant to be that way. I think the only components that were deliberately removed are the surface mount electrolytics.

    Missing capacitors on Umax Gemini secondary CPU card

    Hello all, I have a Umax Gemini secondary CPU card (604e 250MHz) but it's been through the wars and lost a few surface mount electrolytic caps. If anyone has one of these and can tell me what sort of caps I'm missing, or a picture of one that I can use as a guide, it would be greatly appreciated!

    System 6 - Flashing Disk Question Mark - Replace System File - fixed

    You may be able to prevent this from happening in the future with a tweak to your SCSI2SD settings. In case you haven't already, make sure you have "Enable Disk Cache" disabled.

    MAC SE FDHD Floppy Cover with activity LED

    I feel like I find those yellow disks at the bottom of every drawer in my house. I should probably share some of them.

    MAC SE FDHD Floppy Cover with activity LED

    I have been looking for the same. I would be glad to design a replacement for 3D printing, but unfortunately I don't have a real one to copy from. If I ever do get my hands on one, I will create an STL of it.

    A great (and perhaps little known) feature of SheepShaver

    I wanted to be the first to post in this category, and I thought I would use it to mention a great feature of SheepShaver I recently discovered. SheepShaver has the ability to create self-contained virtual machines. So you can place the application, the ROM and disk image all into a single...

    Soldering temperature

    Soldering temperature

    I solder ridiculously hot, but I do it very quickly. It's just how I like to do it. Don't follow my lead though, high 300ºs sounds good.

    Documentation for DB15 to VGA adapters

    That makes sense, and has been done.

    Documentation for DB15 to VGA adapters

    And another. This is for the ones with 16 DIP switches.

    Vintage Z-80 systems

    The board will be meeting soon to discuss a few additions to the categories. I'll add this to it.

    Documentation for DB15 to VGA adapters

    Are some of those switches broken off, or are they just in the "on" position? I'm pretty sure I have complete documentation for this one, I'll post it as soon as I find it...

    Documentation for DB15 to VGA adapters

    Excellent. I might make a PDF of this. I'd hate for someone to click on the link at some time in the future and... 404!

    Documentation for DB15 to VGA adapters

    I'm regularly asked which adaptor to use when connecting a vintage Mac to a modern monitor using a DB15 to VGA adapter. There are so many different types of adapter around: some with 10 DIP switches, some with 8, some with 16 and some with none. Some sync on green, some do not. I would love...
