Yes both new v2’s from Androda. Very strange. I can take the sd card and put it in my external and plug into the PB and mount it and copy files then take the sd card and put it in the internal and power up and I get the happymac and then the death chime sound but the happy Mac stays on the...

A little more details. So the 2GB image has the exact small content as the working 500mb image. I copied the data from the 509 to the 2GB. And the 2GB sd card DOES mount on the PB180 using the db25 external BlueSCSI. It’s just not happy in the internal BlueSCSI. I’m assuming it has something to...

I’ve got a PB180 that I put a BlueSCSI in and it’s working great with a 500mb disk image but I put a 2GB image in and I get the happy chime, happy Mac icon, and then a death chime. is there a maximum partition size on these PowerBooks?

Ahh, hmm. you could try en external power supply if you have one set to 7.5v / 2A and connect positive to pins 1&3 of J13 and GND to pin 2 or 4 and see if theres any difference. Does the display come on? sounds like its starving for voltage.

Yeah exactly. My issue is I don’t have a dedicated spot for it to stay. I was planning on getting it out on a let use basis. So I’d be emptying it after use.

Hmm yeah I’m starting to wonder if it’s worth it for my needs. If I have to spend almost $100.00 on solution and the how much would I need to pour into a 5 gallon tank? Just to occasionally clean a board. plus it’s big and takes up a lot of space. Maybe just some alchohol / vinegar and a...

That’s the same one I have the 30l vevor. I guess you should clean the flux and board with isopropyl and a brush prior to untrasonic Cleaning. I was under the impression it would clean the flux off the board and at least some of the corrosion and rust. I really can’t tell if it is doing...

No just water. Does it only clean metal? Any dirt and flux sticky stuff etc will stay?

I just got a 30L ultrasonic cleaner and so far I’m not too impressed. Maybe my expectations were too high but aside from it not cleaning any corrosion of my boards it’s not even cleaning the flux or any gunk off. I can tell no difference. temp at 45c and I run it for 30 mins. it did annihilate...

Are there black stains on the pins on the hybrid board? Corrosion from cap leakage destroys that board. Out of about 4 boards I’ve repaired so far only one has a working hybrid. I’ve replaced all the others with ones from SuperSVGA on here. Androda also makes them.

I finally found a decent display now. It has one dead pixel that I’m trying to not let mother me 😂 …and I have two that have lines all over the place. I’m just crossing my fingers my third one doesn’t start acting up! lol 😆 I’m going to be parting out and selling two portables. I’ve repaired...

Nice updates. Yeah non running apps would tie it all together and then no more need for alias’s on the desktop.

There used to be a way to code the window to float i can barely recall there was also this mini pallet windows with the tiny title bar and you could make those float. maybe that was a system 7.5 thing though. I cant remember. I never liked the hiding thing anyway on the dock. Years ago I had a...

That weird "Disk Full" error.. it was happening in several other apps too not just THINK. I am going to try the 32 boot system enabler instead of Mode32 and see what happens but removing the Thread Manager extension solved it.

Nice that’s much better. Once you resize it remains sticky at that size? I figured out my sim full issue was a conflict on my machine with Thread Manager extension. Not sure if it’s a system wide issue or my repaired logic board is still a bit wonky…

Ya I figured you were half hiding so you could still see the icons. Pretty cool project. I'll have to step through it in the debugger and see whats going on.

I just built it and ran in in THINK C 5. THINK C doesn't like 32 bit addressing enabled from memory control panel / Mode 32. The project builds but then while it's copying the resources it gives a disk full error. weird. With Dock hiding enabled, the dock drops down about half way. Is this the...

Haha ya I was kidding.. The books will be staying on the shelf. I’m too lazy and spoiled to deal with that anymore. But yeah back in the day I had them all surrounding me in a circle on the floor along with my code listings printed out. Man we used to have it hard. Now I’m asking ChatGPT to...

Yeah apps not running would be great. That’s the main reason I want a dock / launcher. And the ability to resize it would be cool. To be able to scale it down to the minimal icon size. I have not programmed in Mac toolbox land since the late 90’s so I’ve got a lot of work jarring it back out...

I’ve been digging up my old projects and have just repaired my IICx and put THINK C on it and put CodeWarrior on my G3 laptop and was going to to start playing around with my favorite IDE and compilers. Though I would grab your project and see if I could build it on the IIcx. And I need a dock...
