Yeah, this is why I'd recommend twisting them off if you don't own a hot air station. Never lost a pad using it, it's safer than a soldering iron if you do it correctly. Good luck fixing it.

There's a bunch of stuff that fails on the Classic/Classic II analog boards but I can't keep it all straight. We need a resource or thread giving a rundown on the common failures that can just be linked whenever someone's having AB trouble on one of these. If anyone makes one, I'll throw it up...

After further analysis, I now pronounce your problems to be corrosion related ;) I'm guessing that you had a pretty nasty battery in there. Time to take the CPU card off and check for damage around the board... Good luck.

My PowerBook 170 has issues for months with my RaSCSI (which worked fine on other systems) until I realized it wanted termination power off, other systems didn't mind. It can change between systems which is why I brought that up. It worked on my 180c with term power on (which is just a color...

Alright, here's the rundown. Both the iPad 2 and 3 are based on the Apple A5 SoC, which performs terribly on anything past iOS 8 (and even iOS 7 to a degree). So don't update unless you're prepared to deal with some pretty awful performance. The iPad 2 can be downgraded to 6.1.3, so if you did...

What I've learned from my time getting SCSI devices working is that in cases of odd behavior, termination is almost always at fault. I'd try to switch the termination jumpers/resistor blocks (depending on the model) and seeing if you've got different results. The dead internal HDD on the 170...

I’m no expert in these sort of things, seems it was current related? Not sure, seems like it wouldn’t be a concern anyway. I read through the whole feature list for the new revision and it seems like a big step up!

Sweet! Glad to see the new release for this project. Will be looking into these for sure for my PowerBooks. One question, does this revision include a fix for the over voltage issue when it’s used mid-chain? I know that it doesn’t seem to cause any damage but I’d just feel better knowing that...

when removing: be careful! I've heard the PCBs on the CD300s are pretty fragile.

What tool do you use to get the stats display on the top left like that? Is that built in to OS X?

Gonna have to be vMac then, don’t have any compacts (yet). I’d think that it would run fine on a PowerBook 100 though, it ought to. It’s a 68000, black and white, system 6. And the game is from 89, not 86 or some time like that. Nope though, gives an error that it needs 1MB of RAM (the PowerBook...

Unfortunately I don’t… I haven’t gotten a chance to play it yet though, both the systems I’ve got on me right now (180c and 100) won’t open it for one reason or another.

🤦‍♂️D'oh!

Already working on Crystal quest. It crashes under 6.0.8 on my PowerBook 100 but go figure runs fine on my 180c under 7.5.3… Edit: just tried out mouse stampede, what an action packed game! Though I do slightly worry about the mouse button on my PowerBook…

Yeah I’m proper sick of this.. Good game folks!

Ok… I salute you as the winner in Glider. And only in one attempt? I would still like the runner up spot if possible though. I’ll give it a go!

Disk image is already moved onto my old macs :) Get ready!

What’s that Siri icon I see?

I've gotten to room 52 on my best run, if I remember some boosting is involved? That one with the basketball is pure evil.

Alright then. I'll see what I can do!
