Following with great interest, best of luck getting this worked out. Wondering if milling a convex back surface for a two part mold might be an approach to try. smoothing and polishing a convex surface is oh so much easier than concave surface work. :) Just in case: I've got a thread about...

Wondering if you take a different route will help? Remove the fan entirely from the Compact on the table and bodge ductwork from the vents around, down and under the table positioned so it's not visible in the video. Point a much larger, higher CFM, but far less noisy fan so that it points...

SuperPaint?

Found a couple of great links for Laptop KBD conversions: https://www.instructables.com/How-to-Make-a-USB-Laptop-Keyboard-Controller/ https://hackaday.com/2018/12/04/teensy-liberates-the-thinkpad-keyboard/ Conversion of some PowerBook KBDs are listed, but target is the PB1400 KBD, which hasn't...

Musical chair links to attachments worked out great for once. Found this beauty randomly substituted for a link in one of my MLA posts: Somewhere Pics surfaced of a much earlier machines being upgraded in similar fashion. ISTR that being a SIP to a single 30pin SIMM? @Zane Kaminski is this...

Thanks, sounds good, but didn't see the operational method offhand. The heating of the wire for measuring cooling effects of airflow seems problematic in terms of implementation without variance between setups. I'll have to play some with the images floating around in my head, do some sketches...

VERY nice! Hinged LCD as in alternate view of the black version?

Thunderscan rocked! Dunno about IWII, but on the Wide Carriage ImageWriter(1) it was awesome. I hunted down that beast before my backordered SE/20/Radius16 based sign system arrived with its inferior Security Camera/Video Digitizer setup. Had to buy the Fat Mac bundled with the PrintMONSTER, so...

Thanks! I figured the concept was viable. Looked at MAF on Wikipedia and found a far more simple mechanism than the undershot water wheel model for a flow sensor mechanism. VAF (volume air flow) sensor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_flow_sensor#Moving_vane_meter LOL! Too many variables...

Are you in the U.S. or elsewhere? Very curious about cost of fan and locally printed ductwork? Thinking of running the test regime with my pass-thu fan/horizontal neck board SE. Stock 1987 SE tested in four configurations: - OEM pass-thru fan setup - swapped in SE/30 axial fan/sheet metal...

Foxes, see canines. :p

Noctua's a big improvement. Fans like that have come a long way in the past 30+ years. How noisy was the "squirrel?"

Rotten doesn't work as well, ripening to rot stage seems to be most effective . . . < briefly considers fixing screens . . . >

Oh, they're cassettes? I thought they were modules that contained the Memory necessary to run them? That way they'd be useful in general as memory expansion. That'd drive package price up, but the Stat package especially would be portable sans cassette player. Just one expansion slot in the...

Killer find! Interesting to see that the programming modules include the expanded memory required to run them? Gotta love the late Sir Clive, hadn't looked into his life or known of his multidisciplinary achievements before this, though I'd ordered his Z88 notepad computer from England almost...

Cool, hadn't seen those before. Looks like I should get one for pastry prep. Once in a while when I get home from work I'm in the mood for a sweet treat, so I whip up some vanilla shortbread cookie dough for an immediate snack. If I have milk in the fridge I sometimes remember mom times past...

Hiya, Welcome. BGA rework sounds like fun, if way beyond my abilities. Have you looked at doing interstitial PCB conversions from package to package on a board as yet?

Newfangled kitchen/general purpose development, circa 2.5 millennia B.C. Updated in metal ASAP. Son brought Ulu/Cutting Board back from his Nols Alaska adventure a decade ago. Love it, need to oil the board again. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulu#History

Hence, the "have been" caveat, Kai! ;) I've been having trouble finding much of interest back there in terms of development/tinkering with hardware since the mass migration of talent. Hope you folks don't mind my tagging along, hopefully a side order of crazy added onto the menu for this place...

Just in case height limitations bites your butt, I just had myself a blast playing in GraphicConverter on the Lombard. :) As your custom SIMM would be rotated 180 degrees in this configuration, any fli -floppery would be done on the riser card which could be higher. If there's interference...
