    Project30_v5.5

    As I said in the other thread ""just for teh "because I can" cred?"" I've always wanted to shoehorn a NuBus card into the SE/30. No practical purpose for it unless someone develops a NuBus Controller. The discrete component NuBus Adapter from Radius would be the obvious approach. 40MHz crystal...

    Project30_v5.5

    Drat, tried to edit and hit delete? Anyhoo . . . An ancient pipedream got a new lease on life recently at the MLA. I was staring at my beautiful new, black SE/30 board and thinking about one of the IIcx boards @trag has in his hoard for populating his and it finally hit me! SE/30 doesn't...

    Can't find NF thread reducer nut due to pipe thread search results pollution, GAH!!!!

    Thanks a bunch! Tried the fit yesterday and the threads match. Hopefully the head spacing on the half inch end will work out.

    Can't find NF thread reducer nut due to pipe thread search results pollution, GAH!!!!

    Thanks much, ludicrous descriptions of thread specs, but ordered just to see. +-Ordered a pair for $11.55 just in case. The thread spec page is not to be believed! https://antiquelampsupply.com/pages/15-web-nipple-reference

    Filler for mdf mouldings

    Interesting, I've never had a problem with MDF using the likes of spackle or latex paints, I'd think the MDF moldings would suck the water out of the filler, drying it faster than air? The problem with moisture and MDF is that it bloats and loses structural integrity when it soaks up too much...

    Can't find NF thread reducer nut due to pipe thread search results pollution, GAH!!!!

    Should be a simple search right? Do Boolean search string modifiers such as -NPT -pipe etc. no longer work on DuckDuckGo or heaven forbid the evil nightmare Google? Lamp part needed: 1/2-20 nf female to 3/8-24 nf male reducer (female lamp tube thread to male lamp tube thread reducer) I'm ready...

    Macintosh IIci video sync problems with modern LCDs

    Did you ever get something up and running?

    Macintosh IIci video sync problems with modern LCDs

    Cleaned out closet, this may be the one that worked pretty well in the Radius TPD testing. Ought to be great for any classic Mac.

    Macintosh IIci video sync problems with modern LCDs

    LOL! That little bit of English didn't even register as the model number until I searched the old thread, found it and put two and two together.

    Macintosh IIci video sync problems with modern LCDs

    Looks like they're retaining value, dunno what I spent on them, maybe less, then again, inflation. :oops: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=dell+ultrasharp+2001fp&_sacat=58058&_sop=16 A couple seem to be going for about a Benjamin, but those are the 20" 1600x1200 LCDs. They work...

    Macintosh IIci video sync problems with modern LCDs

    Sorry, found a reference for Dell UltraSharp in an old project thread: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/radius-tpd-se-up-and-running-on-an-lcd-no-less.33403/ Took a pic of the info plate on one of mine, but it seems you'll need @MacEffects or maybe @JDW to translate. :D edit...

    Japanese vending machines

    Heh! My friend took over the soda/beer vending machine at his frat in college in the 70s. Every other bottle was an empty, so a beer cost 2x a soda. Current vending machines over her still pocket your money on a regular basis in the break room at work . . . , , , if only they'd do the...

    Love it, thanks for the update and connector pinout! Next steps?

    Calling all Duo owners! (Especially those with a 270c)

    270c has the color LCD connector, previous Duos have the grayscale LCD connector. Only the 2300c has both as it's the drop in PPC upgrade path Apple promised to release for all previous Duos. It also has SCSI connections for their HDDs along with its IDE upgrade.

    Macintosh IIci video sync problems with modern LCDs

    You need a very flexible Multi-Scan LCD panel to use with Apple's oddball resolutions. Most LCDs will only support VGA's 60Hz standard. Apple's "flicker free" resolutions intentionally avoid that refresh rate like the plague. Sync on Green is another complication inherent in Apple's...

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    I don't think so either, form factors are finite and removing gobs of plastic that's meant to be there would seem to b counterproductive in terms of reliability.

    What's that package called, looks like the DuoDock+ ROM?

    Upgrading IIsi onboard RAM to 4MB

    Shoot me a PM! I've got one from which I've already excised the CoPro, in determining that having two in the system wasn't the problem. Very optimistic that the vanilla NuChip from IIcx approach should work, it's supposedly the same machine as the SE/30.

    Upgrading IIsi onboard RAM to 4MB

    Interesting, the IIci actually has NuChip30 which likely handles 20MHz-33MHz system buses. Out of town ATM, so don't have access to my library. Dollars to doughnuts the seminal NuChip of the Macintoshes II, IIx and IIcx used were only compatible with their common 16MHz system bus. So wondering...
