Kai, thank you for that important clarification, especially because your Github page here does not clearly state the chips that you need must be special pre-programmed chips that are to be acquired from the place like UT source. In an older PM, you had previously told me the following... But...

Explained in green at the bottom of page 4 in my BOM here. I have not built or tested one of those boards because I have never bought the required programmer. I assume @Kai Robinson has programmed and tested at least one of them though.

I actually did some EBAY searching. For a scratched up 2G unit which nobody wants, you'll pay about US$80. For a more pristine unit that is also functional, you'll pay US$250. But if I had a functional unit, I'd probably keep it in a case or drawer mostly, whipping it out to show people when...

My preference too "if and only if" it arrives intact. Knowing how these items get kicked around, it probably wouldn't unless they spend a lot more on packing material to ensure the glass arrives in a pristine condition.

I take it you have the RAM chips with the Apple logo printed on them? Those seem to be the worst in terms of reliability for some reason.

What was your RetroBright formula? I always dunk my small parts in tupperware filled with 3% H2O2 and a bit of powdered Oxiclean, then I put plastic wrap on the top to limit evaporation. About 6 hours later in the hot sun, the parts are deyellowed without streaking. However... I always clean...

If ever you write a little app (or mod of the existing one) that can take advantage of the 68881 and 68882 FPUs, that would be really amazing! The Levco SuperMac SpeedCard I have now is having 68881 FPU issues. To be honest, I'm not sure if it is working. Neither Speedometer nor Norton System...

Spotted this on FaceBook today. Just a timing coincidence this news hit shortly after the debut of my video? Article here: https://www.macrumors.com/review/grid-studio-ipod-and-ipad-mini/ And for those of you thinking US$399 is pricey for the original iPhone, The article mentions that the...

😱😱😱 No wood texture at all on the black part of the Grid 1 frame, so the Sannahed frame you mention, based on internet photos I am seeing, would appear to be a close match.

I guess the iPhone isn't very popular as a topic, or perhaps my channel visitors just don't like it. Lower than normal views AND a loss of a Subscriber too! Yikes! Glad I'm not a full timer Youtuber. I notice the numbers but don't live by them. :)

My YouTube Channel stalker was quick with the Thumbs-down this time... Admittedly, I don't know if it's the same fellow or not, but there's always that one thumbs-down not matter what the video is about. Or maybe it really is a different person each time, upset because they were expecting a...

I like the fact they also included the battery too. I hope it's a dummy, gutted battery, but I still like a more complete set. Some people ask if the parts inside the Grid 1 (iPhone 2G) can be used to build a complete phone, and the answer is no. But I guess the pristine shell could be used...

You should have bought it. I doubt it would not have turned on, but even if it didn't our TechStep reverse engineering project is underway, giving insight into how the thing works and therefore potential help if one is in need of repair. $120 for a complete kit with bag, even with only 2...

For you vintage iPhone lovers out there. You can now have internal organs of the original iPhone 2G beautifully splattered on your wall! If you already own a product from Grid Studios, I'd love to see a photo of yours and hear how you like it.

Yes, MacSD is faster on an SE/30 compared to an SE because the SCSI on the SE/30 is faster. In my MacSD review video, I present detailed benchmarking results with my SE/30.

Speaking of "taking the bull by the horns," @iPhil64, if you don't already have a MacSD, I highly recommend you give it a try. You will see the fastest performance on Macs faster than the 8MHz SE, but it still has a pretty amazing feature set. And if you have an OverEasy II ( created by...

Only @MacEffects and @Kai Robinson would know that based on the sales numbers of the SE Reloaded boards, and based on the boards Kai sent out to people. One thing I have learned is the life is largely what we make of it. If we sit around with a house full of parts and do nothing with them...

He didn't tell me the date, but I will find out the date when he gets it to me. Version 1.7b was never released to the general public, but apparently it was sent to select customers who had SpeedCard issues, on a case by case basis. My contact was the author of 1.7b. He created it to help out...

If there was, I assure you I would be using it! :-) In my ongoing conversations with the former member of SuperMac, he has only found a version 1.7b that fixes other issues, not the sound, but he hasn't given me that yet to try because he is awaiting the arrival of his FloppyEMU.

In early, June I posted 2 audio files here were you can hear sound with and without the distortion caused by the Levco SuperMac SpeedCard. And here is the audio Spectrogram comparison.
