@Piszigri Thanks for the reminder! Here's a convenient link to your Trading Post page: https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/macintosh-color-classic-analog-board-and-lcd-replacement-kit.4738/ Please forgive me, but I have a few more questions that will help me and anyone else interested in your...

Yeah, I searched FAR & WIDE for a good bracket that would accommodate the rather huge black plastic extenders that I have now. But because I never had a good mounting solution, I've never really used the Extenders. And the implications of that are that you may be correct. For all I know, I...

Inside, yes. I stayed up too late last night and was losing my mind, sorry. I edited my earlier post to say this instead... So the bottom holes on MacSD are indeed matching your PLATE bracket. And I couldn't use all 4 of the holes on the PLATE bracket only because MacSD would hang off the...

I had the following Expansion Slot bracket printed at JLC in the past, but it doesn't fit the SD Extender I have (but admittedly, I've not tried to remove it's black plastic case as @François suggested)... Colin's bracket looks a bit similar, like this... An Expansion Slot cover by...

Oh, so it's a "techno-geek experiment" then. I see. I was just curious because when I do geeky things like overclock a motherboard, and that geeky act has certain key benefits for me in terms of computing power, performance, better game play, and the list goes on. I was just curious if that...

David, I found your thread an interesting read! What is your practical use-case for all that speed?

Honestly, I've never left my Sony CR44 PSU powered-on in a No-Load condition for more than a few minutes to take measurements. I therefore have no personal experience to drawn on to say why your PSU would have failed, and certainly after you replaced ALL the electrolytic capacitors. Was the...

The following info from ChatGPT needs to be vetted, but it does make sense... And here are excerpts from the "KM44C16000.pdf" datasheet kindly provided by @trag that seems to confirm that chip currents are not pulled through the Address lines...

Screenshots from my LCD Color Kit Video… But the ribbon cable is short and really made for the 15-pin connector to mount in the stock metal bracket as a result.

Since this thread includes the Apple II series, I just want to mention that the Apple IIc color is an off-white called "Fog" and according to @Javmast3r , the closest color match for a PLA filament is RAL 1013.

Wow. Great job! I have the LCD color kit by ZZJ installed in my SE/30 and it has a video out connector, so your forthcoming video out connector version would be quite useful actually. I see uses for both of your versions.

Regarding the WALLED bracket... I only have the small Quantum ProDrive LPS units which don't fit even the stock metal brackets perfectly, and that is why you added the oval cut-out on the back hole in your latest revision. There are 3 holes on each side of my quantum drive, and here are the...

Regarding the LED being slightly off-center (to the right), relative to that rectangular window hole on the front plastic case of the SE or SE/30 (when viewed from the back of the machine (with rear housing removed, of course)... I am seeing that rectangle to be pretty much right at 8.0mm wide...

Calipers were just delivered! Finally! It’s 8:00pm here right now. Note that it uses a low-drain SR44SW silver oxide battery, superior to your typical LR44.

My Avatar shows my bias, so it goes without saying I will suggest to get a Cube. Honestly, it’s about the only PPC Mac I am enthusiastic about. Aside from the two Cubes I own, the only other PPC Macs I own are a pair PowerBook Wallsteet PDQs, which have problems I’ve not been able to repair.

Welcome to TinkerDifferent fellow G4 Cube lover! There's good reason I've made the Cube my Avatar for all of these years. The industrial design has stood the test of time. Don't listen to the naysayers who claim the Cube was a "failed product" because that only speaks of price and marketing...

Saturday mornings (Japan time) are the only time I get a reasonable amount of sleep (8 hours). Now that I'm refreshed, I will share some photos I took last night. LED MOUNTING [ PLATE BRACKET ] As per the conversation we had yesterday, I did not use the vintage black-plastic LED mount (which...

Have much more info and photos for you, but I'm dead tired and need to sleep. Will post my time tomorrow morning.

@jmacz My JLC3DP order arrived, and I've done some analysis. First, while both plastic drive brackets are of course lighter in weight than the stock metal, it's interesting to see that the plate weighs almost as much as the walled bracket. But that seems to boil down to PLA weighing more...

I couldn't tell from the video because sometimes filming CRTs can show you things that aren't there, but was the video stable when you connected the Apple II to that SONY monitor? Seems like it was shaking a little bit, but again, that just might be the filming process. Also, there are so many...
