    Horizontal display jitter + bomb on revived Macintosh Plus

    I'd recommend reflowing the flyback transformer - sometimes you just cant see the cracks clearly - fresh solder definitely helps.

    Compatible RAM for Macintosh 128k

    You can use the conversion chat here to help you locate some suitable RAM: https://www.ardent-tool.com/memory/Chip_Conversion.html All RAM is going to have to come as used or new old stock from eBay as none of it has been made for probably 25 years at this point.

    SE/30 SIMASIMAC w/ Stock ROM

    The ROM chips themselves may very well just be faulty - ROM's are no different to any other semiconductors - they degrade over time. You could be experiencing bit-rot/fade, where the 0/1's held in a cell may have flipped/faded to nothing. All it takes is a single byte to throw things off. The...

    Might be better to make an actual forum post for this rather than a profile update.

    Dell R520 - The expansion continues...

    Yeah i might just YOLO it, run a RAID5 setup and then have a separate on-site backup to a NAS as well as Crashplan for really important data.

    Dell R520 - The expansion continues...

    I have binned off the Dell specific DAC cable for one from FS - the NIC selection has also changed as i've been reading up that the Intel X520's are a bit picky with what transceivers and DAC cables they want to use. Instead, it's looking like i'm going to pull the trigger on some single port...

    Dell R520 - The expansion continues...

    For those that are unaware, the TD Game server is run on a Dell R520 - as shown here: https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/tinkerdifferent-game-server-now-testing.2909/ In modern terms, it's ancient, was destined for the e-waste until i rescued it. I mean, who'd want a 10-core, 20 thread...

    Logic Board - Macintosh SE Reloaded

    @JDW Might be better placed to help, as his earlier revision board, once built, was booted successfully - James, did you test the floppy functionality? I can't see anything wrong with the IWM/SWIM routing @JdM74 did you get the board made yourself, or from MacEffects?
