Yeah, I removed the diode completely figuring it was best for measuring. The diode measurement in one direction now shows 0.4V and 0L in the other. I think that likely the expected result, but I have no EE background and I’m not even sure what a diode does :). However, since I have it off...

The sticker on the flyback shows “AC-058 ZGCT”. And I don’t see any cracking, discoloration, or even dirt on the components. Here are some pictures of the flyback and the diodes I believe you are referring to. Not sure if it was a valid test of if I was doing it right, but I put my...

Unfortunately, the fast ticking persists after the recap of the analog and logic boards. Here’s a video of the ticking sound. The analog board was remarkably clean and I didn’t see any damaged components. One cap had a little leakage when I pulled it, but no damage to the holes or traces...

OK, printed the cases for the DA-15 and HD-15 versions and still tweaking things to try to ensure the best chance of a solid fit and alignment and to ensure no issues with the insertion / alignment of the pins. But overall they seem to be working great, and are very stable and so I don't think...

It's more of a ticking sound than the flup sound which I had, I think, on a Mac Plus with the fuse in the cable issue that you documented on one of your videos. I do have the caps for the analog board, which I planned to replace anyway. Just been busy with some other projects, but I'll...

No real objection, other than making sure people that are willing / want to go to the effort to make on their own can still do so. Honestly, you've been so helpful with the Apple /// stuff I've gotten from you, we could probably work out an arrangement, especially if you'd consider maybe...

OK, just returned from a work trip and had a nice little present waiting for me when I got back. Lots of PCBs! I wanted to make sure the diode worked and the rest of the PCB design was functional, so I soldered the 2.0mm spaced pins, added the diode, then added the HD-15 connector. Used...

I prefer my helper devices to be covered, and recently learned how easy it is to make basic things in TinkerCad. I recently ordered a set of ESProfiles (internal and external), and while the internal is perfect for my needs, I decided I wanted a case for the external one. So I made the...

I think that may be why he mentioned v3. v1 used BluePill, v2 used the Pico, could v3 use something like the PiZero and offer video output while still keeping the costs down? Of course, I know nothing about the challenges of porting software written to run on the Pico over to a the Zero, so...

@Zhinü I got the components to make the cable. However, I have a Lisa 2/10 which doesn't have a built in parallel port. It does have a Parallel power card, but I've never used it. I did try to use the external version with the cable I created, and I was able to get the selector to show up and...

I really like this idea. I've never seen that document, but I might go through an capture individual images for each of the line art machines along with the ports. Then tie them to the machines in the system. Only 16 pages of ports and images to process! And unfortunately it looks like it...

I have an accessories category, but the database makes it easy to add a new category for cables. Unfortunately, it would include a lot of information likely irrelevant for cables (last power on date, manufacturer part number, etc). I don’t even have all my keyboards and mice cataloged because...

That’s what I’ve built. Without login, others can view a subset of the information. After logging in, you can add/edit devices, add/remove images and comments, etc. but to do that you need a server in the middle to manage the authn/authz needs. So I built the API server layer.

I will say, I have used AI models for trying to generate images and icons of vintage Macs and it has not gone well. If you find one that does it well, let me know.

I considered the simplicity of a static web site. It has a lot of of advantages - less complexity, simpler set up and maintenance, ability to access on older machines for consumption. It does offer limitations that I personally didn’t want to have - inability to dynamically create entries...

OK, if I have time over the next couple of weeks, I may go back and look into how easily I could package it all up. I think I wasn't sure how to setup the initial database tables in docker, so I'd need to figure that out. Also, how to parameterize some of the stuff, like the database...

I'll have to look at how easy it would be to package it up for someone else to use. Do you have a device that can run docker containers?

And black keyboard. Also hard to find. Sucks about the logic board, but there are some good alternatives that just lose you the tuner capabilities

Seems like the logic board is good. Threw it in my 512k and plugged in FloppyEMU and it booted fine. As expected, it is showing 512k memory. If I undo the mods, will it go back to 128k memory even though the bigger chips have been installed in the sockets for the memory? Or will the larger...

After looking over the analog board and the logic board, nothing looked bad so I tried to power it on. Unfortunately, the PSU clicks. I assume like new machines that implied maybe something on the logic board is shorting? I believe I have an analog board recap kit for the 128k/512k. I...
