That looks like a great colour match!

Looking at the top image, I'd also reflow Q3, it looks majorly crusty.

Anyone in the UK want a huge pile of retro gear?

Whilst my health has declined in recent years, i'm not dead yet! I can upload the gerbers/github stuff to TD's servers so that in the event of my demise, the community can decide what to do with it all, if that would allay any fears. Likewise, if a company/seller on this side of the Atlantic...

There's also the massive price difference to contend with, at least here in the UK. An Amiga was way more powerful, thanks to the custom chips, the litter, coprocessor, graphics etc, but it was well over half the cost of a Mac. When the A500 came out, it gave you a 68k machine with 512k of...

MacEffects should have stock of these again soon.

Have you tried Eric Woo on eBay? Very, very reliable, all verified pulls or even full trays of New-old-Stock.

The MC3488 was replaced with the SN75150.

Better than alps switches - modern 'mathias' switches are direct drop in replacement for the alps salmon/orange switches.

Has the machine, or it's power supply been recapped?

For reverse engineering PLD chips, might be worth speaking to Porchy at Jammaarcade, he hosts the PLD archives and helped me reverse the GLU on the SE Reloaded board.

The board would be easy enough (*cough*) to duplicate if it's a 4 layer, obviously it'd be destroyed in the process. Then it's a matter of reversing the GAL's. You wouldn't necessarily use like for like parts, like the EPROMs, you could replace with a single one. Also that board isn't likely...

I'm guessing all the PAL's are now in the PLCC package?

Also, revisions of both boards have effectively stopped since I barely do any electronics work anymore, so future revisions won't be something I'll be doing. The latest revision to the SE Reloaded wasn't even a fix, merely a breakout pin for an additional address line to experiment with using...

See, if there are vendors elsewhere who want to license it from me as Mark at MacEffects has done, ie, sellers in the EU, UK, AUS/NZ that wouldn't be treading on Mark's toes, so to speak, I'd be happy to consider it. Likewise, if someone wants to approach me on the forum and ask for a copy of...

So, some ******* on eBay is selling Macintosh Classic Reloaded boards, in specific violation of the Creative Commons Non-Commercial license and even stripped part of the silkscreen off that even identifies it as my board. MacEffects is the only commercial vendor, thus far, permitted to sell the...
