As far as I know there is an issue using the 4 port 3114 in a Mac… I don’t remember specifically what it is but I don’t think the full support is there. EDIT: Ah yes, it’s not OS 9 compatible. If you’re just using OS X then no issues.

I’d really suggest that anyone serious about using an SSD drive in a Blue and White get hold of a SiI3112 based PCI SATA card and flash it with the firmware modded by @dosdude1 and available here. I say this because these cards are cheap to pick up (about $10 on eBay), will avoid having to deal...

I've assembled a few of these RTCs. Orienting them is a bit of a problem, pin 1 (with the square pad) faces the PDS slot. I've applied a stripe of white paint to the edge of my PCBs to aid with this. The oscillator can remain on the board, but you *must* remove the PRAM battery if it's fitted.

Useful to see a pic of this thing. Where is R726 located on the board? To be clear, for a successful boot: do you also need to disconnect the analog board from the PSU… or just the internal video cable from the Wings card?

I very likely have some spares that I could send you for the cost of postage. Where are you located?

Do it ;)

I’ve made a couple, the results were alright but not spectacular. I get a bit over an hour’s runtime on average but weirdly one seems to work better than the other, and they don’t always fully charge up.

Congratulations! The black screen is bad caps on the LCD driver board, that is for certain. I wouldn’t try using that battery again - it’s definitely dead and might blow a fuse on the logic board. Instead, pop the sliding cover off and use it to cover the battery bay.

I once bought a 165 that looked good on the outside, but was trashed internally so you’ll have to wait and see. Fingers crossed it’s a good one. There are usually issues with the plastic standoffs that hold the motherboard to the lower case, as well as the ones that hold the screen hinges to...

A comparable power supply will do it - I think you need 7V 1.5A, and the barrel jack is a standard 5.5mm x 2.1mm type but check if centre positive or not as I don’t remember offhand. You’ll need to investigate once the machine arrives what they mean by does not power on - it could be that it...

Could just be that the stock ROM isn't making good contact with the socket.

Thanks for the explanation, makes sense.

Hi, I have a BlueSCSI V2 PowerBook edition, with Pico W, hardware version 2023.10a I think. I've hooked up a little piezo buzzer to the LED solder pads and this gives me feedback as to when the SD card is being accessed, which is really useful; I find the silence of solid state drives to be...

I think this is a RAM issue.

I think this is normal, that a standard set of 7.1 installer disks will not have all the various enablers included. For systems such as the 165c, you’d need to use the installation media that specifically came with the machine. Also, I can confirm that the PowerBook 160/165/180 also need this...

Thank you! I fixed my 840AV. After cleaning up and recapping it was powering on but not chiming. I found a single broken trace going to the AT&T DSP, I ran a wire and then it came fully to life. 100% working.

I was recently successful in doing a transplant to a full 040: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/powerbook-500-series-full-040-cpu-swap.46910/

I agree this is because of a missing enabler. You can download this from the Garden and just add it into your existing 7.1 install.
