8" FDD? Too BIG scaled to that extent. Drop it to Lisa form factor so the CRT is at an ergonically correct height. Put something like six open 5.25" bays on the right as the Macntosh Lisa 3/TPDc DTP/CAD Release.

I'm excited to hear you're going with the TwiggyMac Bezel! Once you have that in the can, it can be scaled up to life size. Been looking into a printed insert for my TwiggyMac hack of a cracked Plus bezel. I can't do anything with your actual model, I've only done 2D CAD and that was thirty...

I'd say it's fun to play around with it, I did, but only if you're interested in doing that kind of thing on 68K. PPC finished off the need for DSP IIRC. If I could just find that dratted Q630 board. :rolleyes: Info on those connectors?

The MPEG Media PDS Card cables up to that connector. DSP on board does some CODEC or other for early video and PhotoCD and if you want to use it as a pictureframe. I think the Presentation System Card hooks up to it too? Not awake yet . . . :sleep: edit: forgot, looks fabulous! Where does...

disable Mode32 and see if it boots. If not, swap the original SIMMs back in?

Glad you like 'em. Post some side on pics and requisite measurements and I can dial it in for you. ;)

Finally found a pic of your neck board, looks tiny so the angle can be sharpened more as compared to my first AI doodle:

edit: I like the more rakish angle of the chamfer, it's growing on me. I think it streamlines your cinderblock nicely. :ROFLMAO: However you will be needing to angle the handle recess down toward the front for finger room if you decide to take it this way. Definitely consider the TwiggyMac...

Thanks, I figured you'd like it. Question would be the height of the top edge of the neck board on your CRT. Clearing that is the problem and will likely require reducing the angle of the camfer? I've got a 10" Color CRT in a Plus, but the neck board is way too big to fit within the BackPaq...

I like it! Great work. For v.2 go TwiggyMac with the slot, it's a lot more interesting visually and would set your rendition apart from the LCD MiniMacs. Looks a bit odd due to the length, but if you shallow up sj's chamfer on the back edge, you might be able to hide a good portion of the...

I've still got the Sony 17" Trinitron Display I put in the Rig Rat's room with the Quadra 630 and Apple Powered Speakers. It was bigger than the 15" Trinitron TV we had in our bedroom. That was my first computer display when I hooked up the C64. Wild times playing Red Baron on that baby with...

I've another thread about TPD/SE and adapting that single BNC output to VGA RGB inputs for a multisync LCD panel. Have you seen that one? Pretty much still need the scaler to pull it off even after that I think. ROMs have only to do with Driver/OS combo support IIRC. Getting the output from...

Understood. I like to keep hacks and bodgery to available DC voltages downstream of UL approvals. Not afraid of mains wiring, I've done three phase . . . but KISS principle compliance is where it's at! ;)

Question: why not just snake a 12V line up through the handle cooling vents to dispense with cordage and switch complications entirely? Tether the connector to the chassis and break off the latch of a standard wire-wire connector for tethered to the vents for pull-it-loose strain relief...

I worked it out in a thread over at the MLA, I'll look around for it. edit: that was a quick search! https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/mac-portable-peripherals-schematic-development.36374/

Cool, I wonder if you can have the IIci running under System 6 and have the Rocket boot into System 7 from its disk? Works the other way around with Rocket in NuBus PPC booting into System 7 with its host running OS 8.x IIRC.

"IIfs" oopsie, my bad on that typo too. :) You do have a Rocket33/25 and not the 40MHz RocketShare only version, no? If RocketShare disks shipped with the card as opposed to RocketWare, that'd indicate the latter and no joy on acceleration under RocketWare nor support for System 6..

De nada. Excited to see this repro project taking shape! Wondering about your centrifugal blower notion anyway. Check CFM/decibel output of right sized blowers against axials for that cubic, there's plenty of height for the intake side. Shooting both air and noise directly out the backside...

Confused here, does it cool by overpressuring the case with cool air or by sucking the hot air out? The former would wreak havoc with the Compact's convection cooling setup, I'd think?
