Just before the primary gifting period of 2023, I ordered a TinkerDifferent Mug, a TinkerDifferent mouse mat (Classic PCB - woo!) and a TinkerDifferent hoodie for @boopbox123 Other than the slightly fuzzy print on the mouse mat, i'm overall impressed with the price and quality of all of the...

Tattletech should tell you if you have the cache or not.

Oh shit! Time to stock up on them, especially if you want to build amiga accelerators.

I think these are still available from applemacparts.co.uk

Be warned, MO drives aren't cheap although the sweet spot is 1.3GB - usually Fujitsu GIGAMO drives.

On this particular point - the vendors section had been devoid of any activity. Almost no posts in there, and the ones that existed generally had no updates for several months. I'm not inclined to agree that there was any damage done to vendors, as the vendors were mostly absent, barring...

Thanks to @max1zzz I now have a period correct 2004 Sony MFP920 - I think i'm now nearly complete, just got to get a cheap ATX power supply and actually re-cap the motherboard now!

Hello all - as @Androda mentioned, I'd like to put a longer explanation across to you all. This topic is not something we'd think would be raised, or in this case, seemingly needed. TinkerDifferent was founded to be run by the tinkering/retro/hackerspace community that it served, to be...

This is more of a heads up - if you're building any Reloaded boards, please now be aware that TI have been curtailing their product lines, so things like the SN75150 (replaces the MC3488 in the SE Reloaded) & SN75175 RS-422/RS-485 serial interface IC's used in the SE/30 Reloaded and more, are...

Very cool indeed!

Myself and Phil Cranmer made some open source ones you can make yourself - no need for PALs either as the logic is discrete instead: https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/4mb-macintosh-ii-iix-30-pin-simms.27/

What system software are you using, and are there many extensions loaded?

Can you get a photo of the errors that are being thrown up? Would help for diagnostics 😊

Long sleeve or short sleeve?

I presume this would be merely adapting the 16-bit bus to an 8-bit device?

Probably best to break these posts out into their own diagnostic thread rather than clutter this one.

One more addition to the project: A Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS! Period correct addition and what's even better? Yep, a fully working and intact front panel in black!

I definitely now need to check inside my CPU socket of the K7N2 Ultra in project Middlesex, juuuuust to be on the safe side! Crap - even that board is 20 years old now!

It absolutely will not work, pinout is different.

Easier to pump the bus speed from 25MHz to 33MHz, you'll gain 16MHz on the PPC side of things without you even touching the card.
