There is no need for a custom fan bracket in my case because all of my compact Macintosh machines have the standard bracket for the regular boxer fans. Those custom brackets are mainly for machines that have the older model squirrel cage fans.

Thanks, I just tried Select All in Canvas 3.5.3, Copy, and then Paste in HyperCard. Sadly, it pastes the graphic in the wrong position, and I have no idea how to center that in HyperCard. But even if I did know how to manually center the pasted image in HyperCard, doing that fiddly work for...

Very sorry for my delayed replied. I've been spending every waking free moment on my SE Reloaded video, but I wanted to make a little time this morning to review your case. You've done a lot. The only similar case I've ever had, doing all that in vain, was a case where a single cleaning of...

Here’s an update. I’ve never found any version of Photoshop below version 4.0 (which works on my SE/30 but on my SE ) that displays a graphic at it’s 100% size, full screen, without the menu bar. If you know how to do that, please let me know. The reason why I prefer Photoshop over any other...

What app will allow me to display a graphic FULL SCREEN that works on a Mac SE or Plus (4MB of RAM & 68000 CPU)? Graphic Converter 1.7 won't work and neither will JPEGView 3. SuperPaint won't do it either. Same for Deneba Canvas 3.5. I am talking about full screen with NO MENUBAR -- just...

Thank you for that! By the way, I see in your photo that you didn't yet melt the two posts, as is the case on the stock switch mount... That would need to be done, once the switch is installed into the mount, to ensure the switch remains firmly affixed.

The "feet" you mention are the two little posts that are at the very bottom of the switch holder, and they sink into the PCB to keep the switch holder firm. Those little "feet" do matter, in my experience. Without them, all the pressure of your finger (when pushing the bottom) will be...

Be sure to solder in those switches and then press on them to see if there is any movement of your 3D printed switch mount. On a stock SE motherboard, there is almost no movement when pressed. When I first soldered my stock switch mounts (removed from a bad stock SE motherboard) into SE...

"delay"? You received gold-plated sockets, but they were not gold on the DigiKey product photo pages? That's a good thing, right?

So far, none of the chips (not even the short-legged chips I desoldered from the stock SE motherboard) have accidentally popped out of their double-wipe sockets. But I would say that if someone building SE Reloaded really doesn't have any intention of removing the chips from the sockets, they...

I purchased this serial cable from Amazon Japan and can confirm wires are the same color scheme as you showed. I guess that means the colors probably are standardized. Note that only one connector on the cable had colors which matched those pin numbers. The other connector has GRN on pin5...

@iPhil64 Very nice gold-plated sockets! Did you buy those individually from Mouser? If you bought them in a kit, I could add a link to that in my BOM as an alternative to the kit I link to right now. I bought the double-wipe socket kit because Kai told me double-wipe makes getting the chips...

Kai, if someone skilled in 3D could make a single, high-quality tool that can fit all the required resistors, 0.1uF capacitors, inductors AND those axial capacitors too (for SE Reloaded), that would be the lead-bending tool to die for! 🤩

This 4pc set on AliExpress might cover the axial caps, but frustratingly, all the makers of those lead bending tools do not put exact measurements for buyers to ponder! I therefore cannot determine if the body length of the axial caps will fit, or if the diameter of those axial caps will...

As shown in my BOM on page 4, U11D is the VIA chip (p/n: W65C22N6TPG-14 and wickedly expensive!), and U4D is p/n: SN75150P. Both are shown in my Mouser Cart -- a link to which is in my BOM on page 5. That chip info is 100% accurate regardless of SE Reloaded board silkscreen markings.

@iPhil64 I was looking through your photo album again today. Do the axial capacitors fit your Lead-Bender Tool?

Pretty neat, @retr01! Here are a few random thoughts (not trying in any way whatsoever to be critical, mind you)... When it comes to the early 1990's, emoji's did not yet exist. Twitter and its character limit didn't exist then either, and people were not offended by a lot of text. As such...

In my BOM just now, I have added that DigiKey has "limited stock". I also added a note in my BOM to warn people about Phoenix Enterprises' min. order amounts.

Interestingly, the spiral bound Troubleshooting Guide that I have is also water damaged. It's so bad in places that some pages are permanently stuck to each other, which means it must have been sitting in a pool of water for quite some time. You can see a little of that on on some pages in...

It is terrific. Thank you, @Elemenoh for your excellent work on that 3D design!
