What is “the site”?
I just now did a keyword search in our Resources section for “Earth” and “Simearth” but I didn’t find any results, so I assume you’re referring to some other site?

One may also wish to ask them why they only allow people an eyebrow-raising 40 min. to Edit Posts. They lock them down after that. So if you post something in the morning and then drive to work and a few hours later realized that you made some serious grammar or spelling errors, that...
Yes, folks, it's the Dark Side come to steal your hearts and minds with the newly released Matte Black Case & Keyboard Combo from Mark Jozaitis of MacEffects, and designed by Joe Strosnider of Joe's Computer Museum, Javier Rivera of 8BitTees / 8BitStuff / Javmaster, and Apple II legend "Plamen"...
The stock 575 boards don't have a ROM socket, but the good news is you can solder one in because the pads are there! So I did. And I did that because I received a compatible ROM SIMM designed by @Jockelill , which is rated for 55ns. It has some quirks in that I can't seem to boot from it, but...
I have the opportunity to purchase some OKI brand 60ns rated MSM514400D-60SJ RAM chips that would allow me to desolder my 70ns KM44C1000BJ-7 chips and do a swap. Not being sure if a mere 10ns of faster speed would really matter, I sent Mustermann a PM to gather his thoughts. If he feels it's...
I don't believe anyone is complaining about 24-bit addressing mode lacking the overclock. People who haven't tried it yet are just curious. And that's why I strongly encourage everyone to give it a try to see how great it is. And while Mustermann did kick off the project, you brought it to...
Very interesting.
I have a 40MHz Turbo040 but I couldn't get it to work alongside my 33MHz Radius Rocket (040 with FPU, and 32MB RAM on-card), and my Radius Thunder 24/GT video card. My PSU is stock but recapped. I too have a BlueSCSIv2 installed (no spinner drive). However, I am able to use...
Yes, it requires 32-bit addressing "to do the overlock."
You can switch to 24-bit addressing to run System 6 (well, not on my 575 board, but maybe on a 475?) or to use less memory in System 7.5.5 and below (why one would do that, I don't know), but when you do that, there is no overclocking...
I did a lot of testing and I reported that to @phipli via PM. I also spoke to Mustermann, who is the gentleman who kick started the whole software overclock project.
Basically, what I found was that benchmark results were mostly the same as Spicy (on my 575 board) at the same clock speed...

Steve Jobs strongly advocated for that. I think it just goes to show that some of the most gifted and brilliant people in the world can sometimes come up with the most shockingly bad ideas in the world.
When I first read that story...
Congratulations on the V2 release, Kay! I also enjoyed reading your blog about it.
The vintage Mac community would not be as great without the fabulous products you offer us at Kero’s Mac Mods. Thank you for your continued passion, innovation and commitment to product excellence!

I am not finding any kind of Revision History info on the GitHub:

What is the difference between Rev. 4 & the current Rev. 5?

Watching your video is a true pleasure. And I must say, your forum handle is wrong. You are in fact Tom Hanks! :) It’s not only your voice but your mannerisms as well. It’s really quite striking.
So far, I’ve watched until your discussion about the Apple III where are you talk...
I've found ChatGPT more adept at translation than Google translate, which has come a long way over the years. Back when Google Translate just started out, it's Engish<->Japanese translations were laughable. These days, nobody is laughing, although at times native speakers can recognize a...
Please shoot 2 more photos for us:
1. A well lit photo of the inside of the back case, so we can clearly see any possible obstructions.
2. A photo straight down with your machine face down on the floor, so we can assess what might be keeping the back case from fully being seated into the front case.
All this time I was thinking the DSP board (for Photoshop acceleration) was the only daughtercard. Now I see Radius also had a SCSI board too, which is nice:

@max1zzz first mentioned his work on a Radius Rocket prototype here. I was informed about his MLA thread on the subject today. Specifically, it seems he now has a working board:
I have an original Radius Rocket 33 with a full FPU 040, installed in my IIci. Here are some pics:

PCBWay spends too much money on marketing, failing to realize just as many people know about them as JLCPCB. And JLC doesn't do a lot of marketing that I can see. That's why you see all these YouTubers pitching PCBWay. PCBWay even approached me a year ago by email, and I replied back saying...
