@JDW I have a fair amount of experience with 3D printing and PLA. I can say PLA is definitely unsuitable for the temp ranges you might see on a 68040 heatsink. It will almost certainly deform and fail to maintain good contact with the CPU. I recently had several prints exposed to around 65°C...

It is really nice. I went back and read some of my old posts over there and discovered I had done some upgrades to my machines that I had COMPLETELY forgotten about!

I thought he probably had an account on here. I just haven't noticed his username since I've started being active. @Paralel Yes it is resin printed.

I just accidentally stumbled across this video of a clear printed floppy drive front and it almost looks injection mold quality. Pairs very nicely with the Maceffects enclosure. Has anyone seen this yet? I had no idea you could get a printed part THIS clear. I wonder how large a part can be...

@YMK Would you be willing to share your designs for the 3D printed parts?

Well I've gone from absolutely nothing to powers on but only displays a single bright dot on the screen to horizontal line on the screen to Simasimac. Slowly making progress bringing this thing back to life.

Best price I ever managed to find for those displays was here: https://www.yoycart.com/Product/574060630467/ or https://www.yoycart.com/Product/528329894933/ I still haven't purchased one myself though.

Yes. Sadly it did absolutely nothing when I flipped the power switch. No fireworks so disappointing. Oh I did that moments after taking the picture.

Just picked up this 'Macintosh SE' Yep it's really an SE/30 and it has an Asante MacCon! I thought I took a picture of the ethernet PDS card too but I guess I didn't. No exploded battery but the caps need replacing and the power supply/analog board might have issues given the dire warning...

Looks really well done. Has the right font and everything. I wonder who did the badging with the upgrade? I only just recently noticed that my Plus was an upgraded unit without the badging.

I wonder where that thing came from and what it was used for. That's some serious RF filtering going on there. Maybe it was used in a lab of some sort. My guess would be all that was to keep it from interfering with sensitive equipment.

I remember being completely unaware of this particular oddity of Macintosh PowerBooks. It surprised the heck out of me the first time I had one spit a card out too! Maybe a really big type III card (that takes up two slots) would need the extra force?

Oh wow. Huh, I wonder if it could be used with the Centris 610? I think it needs an oscillator that slow.

It's been so long since I looked at this I completely forgot how it was set up. I just remembered that there was only a 4MB block set aside for RAM. I wonder how they're using that extra 512K? Here's the address map of the 512K and Plus from Guide to the Macintosh Family Hardware:

Wow that is really cool. Any idea how they could go above the 4MB limit? Moving the ROM to a higher address space somehow...?

Very true. I've used an original DaynaPort with a wifi-ethernet bridge to connect to the internet on a compact Mac. I just wasn't sure if the Pico will have the resources to do everything. Or I guess more importantly how hard it will be to code.

I think there might be some complication with DaynaPort or Nuvolink emulation due to the fact that you can't emulate a WiFi network adapter directly. First you'll have to emulate an Ethernet adapter then also an ethernet to WiFi bridge.

Oh neat I haven't seen one of those before. I have an old WiFi compact flash card so I should have guessed such a thing existed. I am really curious what will be possible! I've seen people running web servers on the Pico W and I stubbled across a SimpleFTPServer but it looks like it is meant...

I haven't noticed it being discussed yet so I figured I would ask. I don't know what the future possibilities might be. Could you conceivably upload files to your SD card over WiFi without having to access an internal drive? Obviously DaynaPort emulation would be the dream but I don't know if...

This is really making me wish I could rebuild my super cursed Mac. Check out the details about the find: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/look-what-i-found-in-the-woods.3111/
