Agreed on the 5 minimum. However, at JLCPCB's pricing, it's easier to swallow. And I've gotten into the habit of trying to build out enough I can give them to other Vintage Mac people at cost. Like what Colin did with the SE/30 reloaded board, but on a much smaller scale. It is nice to...

I was hoping you wouldn't notice that! Between the missing JST connectors and the green PCBs, I feel like I must have submitted the wrong order. I might have to design a full enclosure case for the internals and print it in blue filament! A thousand apoloigies! Unfortunately, I have 30 of...

So I followed up with JL3DP support and it sounds like the oil spray finish needed for transparent prints is on hold until after the Chinese New Year. So they should be back soon. Separately, I decided to see if I could print one with an Apple logo at PCBWay and so far they haven’t rejected...

Oh, man, clearly haven't tried that. Thanks for completing my feature request 4 years ahead of time! I'm a little frustrated that I never gave that a try. Better late than never finding it out, though!

@JDW has fantastic videos for recapping, but also covers reflowing the solder on the connectors most likely to have cold solder joints: Make sure you also watch the part about discharging the CRT before working on anything. Here: 1:04 I think some Mac Plus machines had bleeder resistors, but...

I think this is a pretty petty feature request, but I'll put it out there and maybe there's other options people can suggest. I use Basilisk II primarily to load software onto my images. It works fantastically, allowing me to install the version of the OS I want plus almost any software I need...

Another update on the restoration. I received my BlueSCSI v2 boards from JLCPCB and they look great, with one problem. Apparently I did something wrong when I tried to use a mix of my parts and their parts (the LEDs and the JST connector were out of stock, so I ordered some. I must have...

That's awesome information. I'll be looking at the board to see what I can manage to rescue. I'll do some digging on the 610 and see what there would make sense to pull from the board. It does make sense that the non-FPU, 35MHz CPUs probably aren't really sought after. I have a 68LC040 in my...

Yeah, I did go through the pizza boxes as well. They faired as poorly as the Centris/Quadra 6x0s I definitely plan to do what I can to salvage components. If anyone has a good source for the proprietary / no longer available chips so I can do my best to salvage anything worth taking a chance...

As I said, I think any concern here would be addressed with the case. It’s much easier to build multiple 3d printed options to increase / optimize surface areas for adherence to the case. Obviously, I’m not going to stop you from designing one with a horizontal connector, I just think there...

Another update on my progress. I've still got some case cleaning to do on the 6100s, but I've gone down a detour as I really want these to be usable for their future owners and I did not get any HDI-45 adapters for getting video out to a modern monitor. This has lead me to try my hand at PCB...

I do like the hybrid version with the twiggy version of the Lisa badging. Unfortunately, not enough to justify the cost. To be fair, I think the cost is justified, I'm sure a lot went into the design and manufacturing... I am hoping that 3d printing on demand eventually gets good enough...

It looks like in the 6100 picture that the bottom section by the HDI-45 port is not centered on the connector. If you center it, it looks like it will overlap, or be very close to the screw hole that I need to use for securing the DOS car adapter bracket. With the hope of 3d printing a case...

For the 3 pieces in their black resin, it was ~ $11 USD For transparent, it was ~ $14 Shipping and tax for all 6 pieces was $13 So $38 for all 6 delivered to South Carolina.

Yeah, maybe it was something in the checkout, but I ordered the mouse case in transparent last week. This week, it is not showing up. Translucent is the only option. :(

Decided to only notch in the one side, as it gives more room for double sided tape, and also gives me enough bare PCB to punch another hole for mounting the case. Also added some white circles around the minimum pins that need to be connected to have it work and not allow for plugging in wrong...

Appreciate the clarification. I always have used DB-15 vs DA-15 as what I thought was a technically incorrect but accepted usage. Good luck finding a DA-15 cable searching google. But I will be sure to use the proper connector identifier from here on out. Ah, you are correct. I need to...

If you have the chance, can you get a measurement from the farthest left pins of the HDI-45 connector, to where the fan fin bump outs start? My current VGA design extends 14mm left of the leftmost pins. Wondering if the will be enough. The other option that might alleviate the need for all of...

OK, I tested it out. Not sure how anyone got a Houdini II card to fit with the lid closed. I suspect they removed the card guides on the underside of the lid, as on mine, the little slot that I believe was there to help stabilize longer boards hits the board and the lid will not come close to...
