@robin-fo & @retr01 I have been conversing privately via email with @Michelangelo for a while now about this problem and the Pina books have been discussed. Unfortunately, there is not a case mentioned in either of those books which perfectly parallels the problem he is seeing. I don't have an...

While that can be done, we must consider the inductive fan load. It would run right up against Spicy O'Clock, and over its wires. That is what allows me to overclock the CPU as high as 50MHz. So long as the fan doesn't induce any electrical noise into the overclocker lines, then it might...

I need to measure, but I doubt I'd have much more than 15 or 20mm of clearance above the VRAM SIMMs. Air needs to flow out the back, if possible, too.

Clearly, you are saying that using the glue is better than the tape because the glue will flatten out as much as the thermal paste will, thereby ensuring the tape doesn't rise up higher than the past in the middle. Understood! Sadly, there is no room for such a blower, as you can see from this...

Indeed. But because @Mr. Fahrenheit not only kick started this forum effort but also started this thread, I must defer to his thinking on those details. I look forward to hearing his thoughts. Also, I would find it rather hard to believe that none of the board members are aware of this...

Exactly. Why am I so upbeat and optimistic despite some of the reported craziness? Because I was told by one board member a month ago that there will be a vote. Even if he had not told me that, I would still expect a vote. That's how TD was established. Whether the same folks will run again or...

This thread has been frozen in ice for a while, so I'm guessing the answer is No. But my main question is, if 32-bit addressing compatibility is possible, why didn't Apple do that? It would have opened the door to them selling the IIe Card in even more Macs -- those models which cannot switch...

@YMK I don't mean to get too off topic here, but your earlier post really got me thinking hard about making the "pure copper heatsink" plunge, so I bought this 60x60x20mm heatsink last night: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003771391140.html The rather large 60mm size will barely fit onto...

I think it's great you offered pointed feedback. Thank you! As mentioned in my earlier post, when unflattering things are said in other forums about Admins or other people on control, the poster is either shutdown or subject to ridicule. Neither has taken place here. And what I am about to...

What brand and model number of glue and thermal paste were used? Can you break the glue in order to change the thermal paste in the future? The reason I ask questions is because I have been pondering a pure copper heatsink for better cooling for my highly overclocked 68040 in my Color Classic...

I wish to thank Drake, our moderator, for his work here on Tinker Different and for his kind understanding regarding this thread. I also wish thank our board members for their embrace of free speech, within the confines of common sense and reason. Numerous other forums would be quick to...

Perfect. Thank you very much for that information! I actually thought about asking them to do that too because they are based in China and have that ability, but thank you for taking that proactive step. Pure copper will offer definite cooling benefits over aluminum, and a 45mm width with a...

@alxlab What's the best way to buy one of your heatsink clips, for people totally brain-dead to 3D printing? :) By the way, I found this 45mm heatsink on Mouser that spans the whole width of the 68040, but sadly it is a whopping 22mm tall, which means you cannot put a 40x10mm fan on top, and...

Thank you for the link! That would seem to be a very nice solution for my SE or SE/30 machines; but if indeed it only works on System 6 or lower, then it wouldn't work on my LC575 Mystic, as that requires System 7.1 as its minimum OS version.

Although I've been a Mac fan since 1984, I'm still new to the Apple II. But my recent purchase of an Apple IIe Card & Y-cable for my Macintosh Color Classic Mystic has been a fun learning experience. I made this video showing how to recap the card and to provide a general overview of the...

Speaking of 2006, my Newton 2100 was in the car with me when our family had our first major car accident here in Japan. The Newton was in a bag next to me in the back seat. A nut ran a stop sign, slammed into us on the driver's door side (perpendicular to us) where my wife was driving, forcing...

I wasn't chastising either of you. I was chastising myself for extending that topic. :-) But if you find a way to extract the PICT files from the Snooper 2.0 app, please send me a PM! Makes no sense to me why opening the PICT resource is crashing every Mac emulator I've tried. Not just...

A bit off topic in terms of what this thread is about, but your post inspired me to try extracting all the cool logic board images the PICT resource of the Snooper 2.0 app using ResEdit & Resourcerer, but double-clicking and/or browsing the PICT resource instantly crashes both Basilisk II and...

I don't have access to my CC right now. But it appears the emulator isn't working with .dsk images I create in CiderPress for Windoze (via WINE), as I show clearly in this short video (no sound)...

How? I can't get that feature to work... So I need to copy/paste the following line in the MacOS Terminal and simply hit RETURN? ./iconv 1047_Apple_II_High_Speed_SCSI_Card_Utilities.po 1047_Apple_II_High_Speed_SCSI_Card_Utilities.DSK
