The only other thing I noticed about the PLA-printed sample I received (again, see my earlier post for photos), was that the little "lip" that I believe is supposed to go below the edges of the 040 CPU is very small. I've colored that in red below... I've not tested anything yet, but I must...

For an overclocked LC575 motherboard application, even when used within the smaller case confines of a Color Classic, I have not measured heat much beyond 60°C. Of course, I do have a fan added, and that tends to keep temperatures in the 50's or lower. Based on that, I would see PLA is...

@alxlab A fellow member of one of the vintage Mac FaceBook groups I participate in very graciously donated to me one of his heatsink clips that was printed by an associate of his, based on your design. It arrived today and I shot some photos... He said he used PRUSA PLA filament and...

I get hit with that a lot, actually. I get an email notification of a reply, and then I go to YouTube and find it is missing. Sometimes if I can contact the person who submitted the reply, they will tell me that they did not delete it. But they assure me they did in fact submit the reply...

Actually, I have over 6,000 subscribers and a lot of videos, but I hardly get any SPAM at all via the About tab button. Seriously. In fact, most of what I get is an email every month or so from PCBWay or similar who wants me to sponsor their company on my videos (which I've not agreed to yet)...

I'm pleased to report that we now have a WINNER of the SE Reloaded KIT Giveaway!

I am not in charge of that, so I am unsure what happened. I do know from experience with my own YouTube channel that YouTube is infuriating when it comes to deleting comments from people who post links to anything, despite the fact I have taken great care to allow ALL COMMENTS under my videos...

After a bit of research and having the need to make temperature measurements over time (i.e., "data logging"), I decided to buy the 121GW multimeter, from EEVBlog. That prompted me to make a detailed video review of it, in which I compare that meter with some of the Flukes I use at the office...

It's wonderful to see that someone other than myself and @Kay K.M.Mods have done the Stereo Mod! Surely, there must be others out there too, but not many people talk about it. Unfortunate, because it makes the CC so much better. Okay, well, not as good as adding a pair of Apple Powered...

Not every vintage Mac can be moved to a new location that is further away from a wall. This is simply an observation relative to the physical size of BlueSCSI v1 DB25, and should not be misconstrued as a knock against v2, which is absolutely amazing in terms of performance. And I don't say...

Congratulations on your successful repair! Look forward to seeing Benchmarks (Norton Utilities System Info 3.5, Speedometer, etc.) when you have time!

The only thing missing from the discussion of the DB25 edition is the fact it is quite a bit larger than the BlueSCSI v1 DB25. When used internally, that shouldn't matter, but when used externally, it means you would need to have a rather significant amount of space between the back of your...

This is one of those times when you’re actually happy a man-made thing doesn’t decompose quickly when buried at a dump site! Amazing how much you were able to salvage!

I’ve just released a new GIVEAWAY video that I hope will encourage some of you to get excited about this fabulous project as I am! Details about how to Enter are given in the video and in the text description. It will run for about one month and then the winner will be chosen. Good luck!

Thank you! Very interesting that your blue, 1W-rated replacement also burned. So by saying "4" you mean you have the equivalent of a 4W resistor in there now?

Wow! So it looks like things are working now. And all because of a tiny shaving of solder! But can you show me where in your photos RL62 is located? I Googled up other CC analog board photos but can't seem to find it inside the shielded cage. (And I don't have my CC open in front of me to...

I am quite curious about Soft-power having worked originally when you got your hands on that CC, but then after recapping, you said the machine powers on immediately by the mere flip of the switch on back (which should not happen). We know that soft-power is merely the grounding of pin-2 of...

I downloaded the attachment in the opening post, but I needed to change the extension from .txt to .html and then I could view it. Nice info! I spoke with Kay Koba, who is truly my Sensei about all things related to the CC, and he is unsure about the root cause. He is concerned about the...

@Croissanting Seeing your photo upsets me greatly because no expensive sockets like that should break so easily! And these are expensive! So what I am forced to do is use both hands and press outward on the metal tabs of the socket while I carefully and slowing insert a SIMM and pull it into...

It's a travesty, to be honest. Even if we argue that the sockets which broke in my case broke due to age and humidity, the fact remains that many vintage sockets withstand even longer spans of time, and all the humidity during those years, better than these "new" sockets do. These are RAM...
