I was assuming there would be a bracket regardless of whatever design is used. A metal bracket would be really awesome. I was thinking of designing a reference Nubus/PDS bracket for 3D printing which would be cheaper to make. I'm not too familiar with the designing and cost of producing stamped...

Ok yeah. Curiosity got the better of me and I compared the sheets and schematics and they seem to match. If you combine the two manual together you get a super set of settings. The Unimac 82D seems to mention the jumper settings for portrait monitors, 2 page mono and 512 x 384 and multi res...

Here's the schematics I made for the Sony MacView: Stay tuned for the kicad pcd in the The Lab -> Hardware section hopefully soon-ish. Maybe I'll make two designs. One faithful to the original design which uses edge connectors and wire and another which uses through hole connectors. It will...

Was thinking of plugging directly to the back of the card like: But yeah. Just did a quick check of the physical size of the connector with relation to the card and don't think it would even fit with the USB, micro sd and HD44 connector side by side. With a normal Nubus bracket you only have...

How many pins of the esp32 module would you need to use? I'd still be tempted to design it with the module on a dongle or daughter board and use a connector like this: Logic being that the card won't have anything sticking out besides connectors when installing into the computer. More...

I was able to get in contact with tomytronics and he offered to send over the design files since they aren't hosted anywhere. I asked him if he was ok if I hosted the files on github with a CC license. Will keep you peeps posted.

I actually live in Canada but it's very similar to the construction in the northern US. Yeah the US and Canada have no lack of cheap wood (used to be cheap before covid lol) so that's what's being used mainly. Also it has a lot less older type building which were traditionally masonry like in...

Yeah my basement is unfinished. If it was finished I'd be looking into alternatives like powerline networking or wifi. Wifi at 5Ghz is pretty good since microwave won't interfere with it but usually need to put a few repeaters. Wifi 802.11ax / Wifi 6 looks really nice though. Especially the 8 x...

Yeah was planning to use a paint program if all else fails but I'd rather have measurement's with calipers if possible. Using callipers I got 101.5mm from my DOS card so 101.7mm is right in the ballpark :)

Probably gonna do Cat6 at my house at some point but gonna try from the basement since the ceiling is gone already. It will be easier from there since all the walls have fire blocking which would need to be drilled through if I went from above. Dunno if it's standard for your area but my...

Nice! Yeah tried messaging tomytronics on reddit to ask if the schematics were available. If not will need to redo the design in Kicad. The original Reply extender looks like it's either more that two layer design or they just attach all the ground pins to the ground plane on one side. I don't...

Yeah exactly why I thinking can probably put two db 15 connectors on the extender. I understand why they put the HD-26 connector on the extender since it's expected that if you got the card then you would have the cable as well. As time goes on though the cables are thrown away and just the...

Does anyone have one of these Reply DOS compatibility card extenders? I'd like to make a clone and possible one with 2 normal DB15 connectors for the joystick and monitor if they will fit. Want to know the PCB dimensions. tomytronics on reddit seems to have made a clone but I don't see any...

Yeah Thingiverse actually had a security breach so I think everyone had to change their passwords.

Yeah my house is like Pandora's box. The house looked ok when I bought it. Once I started checking what was hidden behind the walls all hell broke loose lol

Here ya go. It's actually the same thing as the J11 speaker connector on the logic board. Macintosh SE J11: Molex 0022232021

Yeah actually working on replicating the MacView / UNIMAC 82D that @Drake showed me:

Macintosh Portable: Q14, Q15, Q16, Q20 Vishay IRF9Z30PBF Q16, Q20 Heatsink (exact): Aavid 7140DG Q16, Q20 Heatsink (alternative): Aavid 6237BG F1: Littelfuse 251007

Yeah just double checked and the footprint definitely seems to match.

Here's a few that I've used: Speedometer 4.0.2 MacBench 4.0 Apple Personal Diagnostic v1.1.1 - 1.1.3 Norton Utilities 3.1.x Traditionally I've used Speedometer for benchmarking since it's small I've saved records from doing benchmarks from many different computers. I like the Apple Personal...
