I voted for longer terms (up to 3 years) but I do think it is really important that the terms for the board positions are not aligned/co-termed. It may make it harder to transition to but the benefit of overlapping terms seems clear to me when it comes to transition and knowledge transfer. I...

I don't necessarily disagree but isn't this a truly separate issue from the "Extending the term length of the board" topic of this thread? Perhaps a new thread under Feedback?

This stuff is my favorite super glue specifically meant for plastics: SureHold Plastic Surgery® Super Glue https://surehold.com/adhesives/plastic-surgery/ Where possible I also like to reinforce with epoxy (JB Weld).

Okay, but then why? Having a regulated Vendor area was supposed to be a plus for this forum/community, right? Is there anything to be said about the "unforeseen circumstances"?

Um... pretty nebulous statement. What is this about? Tinker Different being sued or something?

Oh how we all seem to love the minutiae! Let‘s go with lowest model number PowerBook! 😊

I’m intrigued by the PowerBook 100 for its uniqueness, as I am similarly for Macs with unique cases, features, and/or “firsts”/“lasts”. Off the top of my head/best recollection: Unique case, not used again Outside Sony design First “PowerBook” First Mac with no built in floppy drive Last...

I paid $69 for my 2.5L Elma TEC Clean A1 Ultrasonic Cleaner Solution, I used about half of it when I set it up ~ Jan 2021 in my basement. I've since used it to clean a few dozen boards. It's a bit yellow looking now, debris settled at the bottom, so I'm thinking about flushing and starting over...

I do a bit of cleaning before putting boards in my ultrasonic cleaner but certainly I don’t remove all the flux/residue. With the cleaning solution above they come out squeaky clean for me. For boards I put through the cleaner I mainly just try to remove any bulk flux that’s easy to do so, my...

I'm by no means an expert but I've always heard folks saying to use a cleaning solution designed for electronics and distilled water. This is the stuff I use currently (although looks like its only available in the huge size right now via Amazon) with my VEVOR 30L Ultrasonic Cleaner: Elmasonic...

Are you using a board cleaning solution?

I wasn’t aware it’s a contender for use in ultrasonic cleaners. I use it straight from the bottle, either via a spray bottle or pored into a shot glass that I dip cotton buds (aka q-tips) in. Definitely devolves flux better than isopropyl alcohol in that use case.

I use Amtech flux and agree with your comments on cleaning with isopropyl alcohol. MG Chemicals' Flux Remover is better (what I am using now with toothbrush, followed by cotton buds) but it's not perfect.

Here‘s one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/385910731610?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0

I have a resource article on Power Macintosh L2 Cache DIMMs that includes info on identifying those compatible with 61xx/71xx/81xx models: https://tinkerdifferent.com/resources/ppc-macintosh-l2-cache-modules.19/ Unfortunately it seems these are not exactly easy to find on sites like eBay. I...

That thing looks like it can launch the missiles! …be careful to avoid taking us to DEFCON 1! Seriously though the display makes me think of this for some reason: https://acesubido.net/2014/11/28/aliens-sentry-gun-ui.html

As each subsequent Apple Restoration CD disk includes info on the previous disks in its Read Me, here's what we're all missing that would be on Disk #2 and #4: Apple Restoration CD - System Software Disk 2 (November 1995) Part Number - Desktop Computers 694-0294 - 7.1 for LCIII, LC475, LC520...

I have some Apple Restoration CDs that I just uploaded to the Macintosh Garden. My understanding is these were used by Apple service centers/partners to restore hard drives for specific Mac models to the same image they left the factory with, which in some (many?) cases includes items you would...

I've seen posts about adding RAM chips to empty pads on SIMMs/DIMMs to, for example, turn a 8MB stick into a 16MB one, and now I'm wondering if that's doable for "older" SSDs? In particular I have several STEC 128MB "Flash Drives" SLFLD25 - 128MM1U that appear to have pads for flash chips that...
