    Who's Going to VCF Swap Meet at InfoAge in June?

    That's in Wall, NJ? When these threads pop up, locations, dates, hours and links to the event in the IP would be most helpful. ;) edit: linkage https://vcfed.org/2025/04/28/vcf-swap-meet-june-7-2025-in-wall-nj/

    ITXPlus: A ITX Sized Macintosh Plus Logicboard Reproduction

    Fabulous! Absolutely amazing achievement, max. One thing to look at. Scaling looks a bit stretched left to right to me. Is that just my perception or true? Throw a circle onscreen in a MacPaint or better. If it's elongated, scaling adjustment would remove some of the letterboxing? Not picking...

    Connect to modern monitor the RADIUS SE TPD - Two Page Display

    Sorry to be late to the party! Been searching all over the place found this and linking to this: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/radius-tpd-se-up-and-running-on-an-lcd-no-less.33403/ Never got quite all the way there, but a starting point if you're thinking of having another go at it.

    Logic Analyzer + AI = ?

    WOW! Amazing results. Imagination is racing ATM! Hope these flights of fancy make some sense: Cannot wait to ask Claude to design what he needs to use RPi/Arduino/whatever hardware and the PCB for it to run as an automated Logic Analyzer. It'd connect over USB in its reverse engineering...

    Thank you! Finally a response! Started a parallel thread on MLA to get a discussion going. Got a suggestion to use SCI-Hub to source paper, but for anything more recent than 2022 it suggests https://scinet.usda.gov/ Got links for Claude...

    https://www.webasha.com/blog/ai-in-reverse-engineering-how-artificial-intelligence-is-transforming-cybersecurity-malware-analysis-and-software-auditing Wondering if we can use AI to deduce and clone the operations of IWM? ITXPlus that @max1zzz is working on could really use a clone of that chip!

    Logic Analyzer + AI = ?

    Wondering if anyone has seen AI used to crack protected programmable logic? Target chip is the PLDC20G10 on my current obsession, the Radius FPD for Mac Plus. https://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data Sheets/Cypress PDFs/PLDC20G10B, PLDC20G10.pdf 24pin DIP IC provides up to 22 inputs and 10 outputs...

    Radius Full Page Display for Macintosh 512ke/Plus - Cloning project possibilities?

    Yep, the board in the Video is an original, factory installed card, the cards in the pics I've posted not so sure. But the 1O and 12 red herring numbers on the CPUs don't appear to mean anything? Sourcing a board to reverse engineer will be the next hardest part of the project. - GAL16V8 -...

    Radius Full Page Display for Macintosh 512ke/Plus - Cloning project possibilities?

    Found a fabulous video posted in a seven year old thread searching my old posts at the MLA: As I somewhat expected, the original FPD Card/Monitor interfaced via TTL signal format! No analog bits to excise! His system appears to have been an original Radius in house upgrade with Plus' 68000...

    Radius Full Page Display for Macintosh 512ke/Plus - Cloning project possibilities?

    Was just wishing that the original card had the BNC output of my Radius TPD/SE and if this might be adapted to it. Now I'm wondering if we can lop off everything analog output related? Keeping output digitally interfaced to a scaler setup should be a lot less complicated than analog...

    ITXPlus: A ITX Sized Macintosh Plus Logicboard Reproduction

    Very nice! How are the blocks of memory set up in those eight chips so as to look like four 1MB SIMMs on the map? Will the Performer Clone fit or will another Redux form factor project for your board be required? Should be easy, nice that there are no pesky SIMMs in the way. ;) I keep asking...

    Radius Full Page Display for Macintosh 512ke/Plus - Cloning project possibilities?

    Curiosity is getting the best of me here. This is the second time I've seen a 68000 used on a card of this era as an embedded processor. This one uses it @10MHz for generating graphics. WAG would be that system clock can be phase lock looped in the GALs to provide 10MHz? I seethe 51.270MHz...

    MicroMac Performer and others for 68000 Compacts - Do they require the disabled CPU to boot?

    Figured I'd just ask as it's been over seven years since this pic kicked off the clone game in the MLA Hacks Thread: So is the stock 68000 CPU necessary under the Killy Klip in my Drexel Plus or could the Performer (or other, more complex accelerator) be plonked onto a socket installed in its...
