Pretty sure it was the stock 1mm nozzle, with the heat set around 4 (out of 5). I don't remember ending up with any particularly stubborn pins, so maybe I just got lucky!

I've removed a soldered-on CPU from an SE/30 with just the FR-301, it's totally doable. You can buy new sockets here: https://www.peconnectors.com/sockets-pga-cpu-and-memory/hws4514/

Here's a BOM I put together for building Kay Koba's SE analog board recreation PCB, but it's valid for original boards too: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PwaqRaqlt8nKqXaVAkaXogw2BTpqbcQ4xXxHejsVk5U/edit?usp=sharing

I'm locking this thread as it's already diverged from its original purpose. Tinker Different is not affiliated with 68kMLA and we can't answer to how their operations work.

Sounds like a layer 2 issue to me. I'd try setting up port mirroring on the switch interface you have the Mac connected to and see what shows up in Wireshark.

Not sure which Google Sheets BOM you're referring to, but here's the one I put together when I did the group buy: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Nx-KRaF5cdhcJSdrX42SqrtQcKcN2UZhHbEiThW19gc/edit?usp=sharing

Your IIfx has the same weirdness as mine: All of the SMD caps are tantalum except for those two electrolytics over by the RAM slots.

The biggest one is that the ring light that ships with it, at least for my unit, has its own (somewhat short) mains AC cable. I ended up finding an otherwise identical ring light on AliExpress that's powered by USB and can plug into the USB-A port on the back of the microscope. The other, lesser...

I use one of these and while it's not perfect, it works great.

I'm curious how this even works -- are the EGRET/CUDA chips also part of the system memory space?

Thanks, I've gotten this one added to my spreadsheet. Do you happen to have a recommendation for Y2 as well?

The best option would be to get it sandblasted (to remove all the rust) and then either powder-coated or plated (nickel, zinc, etc). You could try to sand the rust off but it's really difficult to remove it inside all the pitting. An alternative would be to keep an eye out for another chassis in...

I know LVDS was a common protocol for laptop displays before DisplayPort took over, but can't remember if it's old enough for the early PowerBooks to have used.

I'm not too knowledgeable about inductors, but could one conceivably use an LCR meter to measure the min and max values of a stock L2 part and use those to source a modern replacement?

Looks like something just was goofy with the link, I got it updated: https://www.peconnectors.com/sockets-pga-cpu-and-memory/hws5040/

Here's the spreadsheet I put together of all the parts on the SE/30 board. The RAM slots are listed on the "Top-side special parts" tab.

ISO9660 is really a filesystem and not necessary a disc image container format -- it was designed to be cross-platform compatible, hence the reason it's still mountable on modern operating systems. If you pick this when creating a disc image, you're not *really* creating a disc image; you're...

Yep, 2020Patch will fix you right up: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/2020patch

SanDisk is probably the biggest name when it comes to external flash storage, and while in general their products are decent, they had some issues with a few models and their parent company, Western Digital, didn't handle the situation well. Crucial hasn't been as big a player with external...
