    Problem with IIci and NuBus cards (Solved!)

    You say it doesn't work on your IIci, can you please elaborate on that? There are so many different factors that could result in the card not working, and a lot of them are software based. For example, does it have link lights? If so, do they light up when you connect it to your network? what...

    How do you pronounce “LIDO?”

    It's pronounced Lie-doh. I say that with all the authority of someone who's had absolutely no external consultation. Shall we do the GIF pronunciation too? What about Bondi?

    Power Macintosh 7200/7300/7500/7600 Power Button

    There's a lot of play in the position of the top case.

    Mac SE + BlueSCSI - Won't Bus-Power

    You can test it in situ. Just put the multimeter in diode mode, then put a probe on each side of the diode. With the red probe on the striped side of the diode, you should get an open reading. Then swap the leads around so that the negative lead is on the striped side, and you should get a...

    Solder Paste/Flux Syringe Gun

    I haven't tried one (yet), but I've seen some that look quite good. That one looks a little cumbersome to me. Here's a 3D printable option I plan to try: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4549023

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

    I'm against software updates just for the sake of it. Software companies trying to think up new and useless features to justify the subscription fee you're paying for their software. Fix the bugs first please!

    Mac SE + BlueSCSI - Won't Bus-Power

    Do you have a multimeter to test the diode at CR1 on the SE logic board?

    Power Macintosh 7200/7300/7500/7600 Power Button

    I've refined the button design a little, and I'm finally happy with it. I printed it with a 0.16mm layer height. It should fit onto the base part of the original Thingiverse file, nice and snug. STL file attached if anyone wants it.

    The perfect "Bridge" Mac

    I agree that the Lombard is a great bridge Mac for many purposes. To my knowledge, it's the only Mac with both USB and SCSI built-in. No serial ports though, so no good for the LocalTalk requirements.

    Recommendatons for a new reflow station / hot air gun?

    In the interest of this forum being a lasting resource, I should mention a couple of things about hot air stations for anyone that's looking for one. There is one main difference between the cheap stations and the more expensive units. When you look at a lot of the cheap models, you'll see a big...

    Power Macintosh 7200/7300/7500/7600 Power Button

    I have a couple of machines that I bought with the power button missing altogether, so I needed a complete reproduction rather than just a repair. I wasn't particularly happy with the shape of the button part in the thingiverse STL, so I've made my own. It still needs a few tweaks, but it's...

    Recommendatons for a new reflow station / hot air gun?

    Take a look at the ATTEN ST-862D.

    This section needs a post!

    Thank you! Yes, the anamorphic pixels of the Lisa really surprised me. When I booted it in Macintosh emulation mode, the image was all squished!

    Did you attach the STL? I looked at your post but couldn't see it.

    PDQ boot/drive issues

    I had exactly the same problem, with exactly the same symptoms. I gave up and went back to a spinner hard drive for my G3 laptop. I discussed it with others and I believe it is related the old ATA-2 standard on those G3s. It's incompatible with the ATA standards of the newer devices. They work...

    System 7.0.1 and 7.1 on the Plus

    Does it behave exactly the same way for each system you boot into? Because that behaviour certainly sounds like it's rebuilding the desktop in System 6.

    Just in case no one has told you, this is a really clever solution.

    Macintosh II & IIx replacement battery holders

    Thanks for that. This is something I'd like to be able to release to the public for them to make themselves, so I might have a crack at doing it myself.

    Power Macintosh 7200/7300/7500/7600 Power Button

    First test printed. It seems pretty robust, so I'm pleased. I may make a few revisions though. I'll use the original button bit so that it looks original.
