    Meet the new Tinker Different board at our first livestream event for 2023!

    I get hit with that a lot, actually. I get an email notification of a reply, and then I go to YouTube and find it is missing. Sometimes if I can contact the person who submitted the reply, they will tell me that they did not delete it. But they assure me they did in fact submit the reply...

    Meet the new Tinker Different board at our first livestream event for 2023!

    Actually, I have over 6,000 subscribers and a lot of videos, but I hardly get any SPAM at all via the About tab button. Seriously. In fact, most of what I get is an email every month or so from PCBWay or similar who wants me to sponsor their company on my videos (which I've not agreed to yet)...

    Meet the new Tinker Different board at our first livestream event for 2023!

    I am not in charge of that, so I am unsure what happened. I do know from experience with my own YouTube channel that YouTube is infuriating when it comes to deleting comments from people who post links to anything, despite the fact I have taken great care to allow ALL COMMENTS under my videos...

    EEVBlog 121GW Multimeter REVIEW

    After a bit of research and having the need to make temperature measurements over time (i.e., "data logging"), I decided to buy the 121GW multimeter, from EEVBlog. That prompted me to make a detailed video review of it, in which I compare that meter with some of the Flukes I use at the office...

    Color Classic Mystic Stereo Mod for #MARCHintosh

    It's wonderful to see that someone other than myself and @Kay K.M.Mods have done the Stereo Mod! Surely, there must be others out there too, but not many people talk about it. Unfortunate, because it makes the CC so much better. Okay, well, not as good as adding a pair of Apple Powered...

    BlueSCSI v2 Pico - Low cost, open hardware, fast SCSI device!

    Not every vintage Mac can be moved to a new location that is further away from a wall. This is simply an observation relative to the physical size of BlueSCSI v1 DB25, and should not be misconstrued as a knock against v2, which is absolutely amazing in terms of performance. And I don't say...

    Congratulations on your successful repair! Look forward to seeing Benchmarks (Norton Utilities System Info 3.5, Speedometer, etc.) when you have time!

    BlueSCSI v2 Pico - Low cost, open hardware, fast SCSI device!

    The only thing missing from the discussion of the DB25 edition is the fact it is quite a bit larger than the BlueSCSI v1 DB25. When used internally, that shouldn't matter, but when used externally, it means you would need to have a rather significant amount of space between the back of your...

    Logic Board - Macintosh SE Reloaded

    This is one of those times when you’re actually happy a man-made thing doesn’t decompose quickly when buried at a dump site! Amazing how much you were able to salvage!

    Color Classic analog board trouble

    Thank you! Very interesting that your blue, 1W-rated replacement also burned. So by saying "4" you mean you have the equivalent of a 4W resistor in there now?

    Color Classic analog board trouble

    Wow! So it looks like things are working now. And all because of a tiny shaving of solder! But can you show me where in your photos RL62 is located? I Googled up other CC analog board photos but can't seem to find it inside the shielded cage. (And I don't have my CC open in front of me to...

    Color Classic analog board trouble

    I am quite curious about Soft-power having worked originally when you got your hands on that CC, but then after recapping, you said the machine powers on immediately by the mere flip of the switch on back (which should not happen). We know that soft-power is merely the grounding of pin-2 of...

    Color Classic analog board trouble

    I downloaded the attachment in the opening post, but I needed to change the extension from .txt to .html and then I could view it. Nice info! I spoke with Kay Koba, who is truly my Sensei about all things related to the CC, and he is unsure about the root cause. He is concerned about the...

    SE/30 RAM Banking QUESTION

    @Croissanting Seeing your photo upsets me greatly because no expensive sockets like that should break so easily! And these are expensive! So what I am forced to do is use both hands and press outward on the metal tabs of the socket while I carefully and slowing insert a SIMM and pull it into...

    SE/30 RAM Banking QUESTION

    It's a travesty, to be honest. Even if we argue that the sockets which broke in my case broke due to age and humidity, the fact remains that many vintage sockets withstand even longer spans of time, and all the humidity during those years, better than these "new" sockets do. These are RAM...

    Crucible for the SMC ROM SIMM

    The BMOW ROM-inator II gives users the option of pressing a keyboard key to choose either ROM Disk or RAM Disk (where the content of the ROM is loaded into RAM for the purpose of changing data, which cannot be done on the basic ROM Disk)... But I believe Kay's ROM is ROM Disk only. There...

    Crucible for the SMC ROM SIMM

    The only thing close to what you are asking is DiskDoubler, but I don't think that will work on this time 1.5MB image. You can test it with Mini vMac though and see.

    Crucible for the SMC ROM SIMM

    As mentioned in my previous post, you must create a 1.5MB disk image with *.img filename extension. You can leave your 1.5MB image to be blank, or you can put only apps on it, or you can put a System folder on it (only one SE/30-compatible System folder will fit into 1.5MB). It's entirely up...
