    ITXPlus: A ITX Sized Macintosh Plus Logicboard Reproduction

    That's kinda why I started the 68000 required or not discussion: https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/micromac-performer-and-others-for-68000-compacts-do-they-require-the-disabled-cpu-to-boot.4329/ Might need to make that provision for keeping a 68000 on the system bus via accelerator socket as...

    ITXPlus: A ITX Sized Macintosh Plus Logicboard Reproduction

    Very nice! How are the blocks of memory set up in those eight chips so as to look like four 1MB SIMMs on the map? Will the Performer Clone fit or will another Redux form factor project for your board be required? Should be easy, nice that there are no pesky SIMMs in the way. ;) I keep asking...

    Radius Full Page Display for Macintosh 512ke/Plus - Cloning project possibilities?

    Curiosity is getting the best of me here. This is the second time I've seen a 68000 used on a card of this era as an embedded processor. This one uses it @10MHz for generating graphics. WAG would be that system clock can be phase lock looped in the GALs to provide 10MHz? I seethe 51.270MHz...

    MicroMac Performer and others for 68000 Compacts - Do they require the disabled CPU to boot?

    Figured I'd just ask as it's been over seven years since this pic kicked off the clone game in the MLA Hacks Thread: So is the stock 68000 CPU necessary under the Killy Klip in my Drexel Plus or could the Performer (or other, more complex accelerator) be plonked onto a socket installed in its...

    Missed your post while out of town. VERY nice!

    Radius Full Page Display for Macintosh 512ke/Plus - Cloning project possibilities?

    Fabulous info here: https://www.retro.co.za/ccc/mac/RadiusDisplayAdapter/ https://systemtalk.org/post/macintosh-history-8611/ Reddit thread w/ great pics @Bolle does anything on that card look like you won't be able to mine its secrets?

    https://github.com/guruthree/mac-se-video-converter Sweet! But, of course, I'm looking for something in a higher resolution. :p

    Radius Full Page Display for Macintosh 512ke/Plus - Cloning project possibilities?

    Does anyone have this VidCard available for a photo session? It's Radius' first product and one of the very few Radius cards I've yet to collect. Got TPD card for SE in hand and the BT9014 on it appears to be the only problematic Programmable Logic on the board? NuBus Mafia appears to be down...

    ITXPlus: A ITX Sized Macintosh Plus Logicboard Reproduction

    Wondering if the Woz has been contacted about releasing his IWM code? He might just do it for a 40th Anniversary Special Edition? Pincount of ITX PSU Connector confirmed, but very curious about which video bodge connects to the HD15?

    ITXPlus: A ITX Sized Macintosh Plus Logicboard Reproduction

    Love it! Can you add tags to the parts on the B&W drawing? Mostly interested in the ITX(?) Power Connector and anything related to Video Output.

    PowerBook 100/RPi-CM4-Lite

    Been looking into this a bit further: Feed power to the OEM pot card GPIO measures resistance of current induced by potentiometer GIVEN: mid-range resistance = NEUTRAL IF: resistance level drops to X THEN: blip 1 IF: resistance level rises to Y THEN: blip 2 Might be time to learn MicroPython...

    PowerBook 100/RPi-CM4-Lite

    A little bit of headway made. Opened up the lid for removal of the 2300c LCD and access the brighness/volume board: Trimmed the connector off the PicoPSU for hardwiring it to CM4 I/O Board and LCD controller. 12V input with 12V output should add little in the way of waste heat I would think...

    SCSI cable folds - to cut or not to cut

    De nada! Shouldn't be needed in your SE/30 I think?

    SCSI cable folds - to cut or not to cut

    Slitted cables are present in LC form factor cases to facilitate the required offset, RA connection for fan/power connector clearance. Folded cables aren't a problem when angled. Folding a cable back and forth overtop itself to shorten a run could cause crosstalk interference. Such defeats...

    MARCHintosh 2025 Projects

    It's April Fools Day already and I haven't gotten near as much done for MarchIntosh project as I'd hoped. COVID and a bad reaction to second shingles shot afterward took care of that. But the PowerBook100/RPi-CM4-Lite is coming along with the arrival of a benchtop power supply for the LCD today...

    Performance hit using BlueSCSI WiFi vs. PCMCIA WiFi NIC in a PowerBook?

    Can't imagine there'd not be a performance hit, but how bad might it be? Duo2300c would actually be the target machine. Pretty much same machine as 5300/1400, but with SCSI HDD option (supports SCSI HDD/Cable in upgrade package config) but no PCMCIA availability. So curious . . . for a...

    PowerBook 100/RPi-CM4-Lite

    Non-Flammable components beginning to arrive! :p 1920x1200 will be a workable resolution running under Ubuntu in a 10.1" diagonal. Much better than most laptops with 1920x1080 and far better than lower resolutions of many. Love the modern look of the larger LCD. No mounting tabs, but that...

    I created a Replacement Internal Chassis for the extra-wide pizza box Macs

    I'll dig up the info, hopefully still on eBay purchase list. Centrifugal blowers are far more efficient at moving air than bladed fans and throwing the flow at right angles is perfect for this. Outlet's pointed straight at G3 card heat sink and HPV card which conflicts with 3.5" HDD installation...

    I created a Replacement Internal Chassis for the extra-wide pizza box Macs

    I wish I'd your post over here first, I'd love to have a rework of this section as a Square -> Round duct converter for better airflow, with the blower mount at about the level of the ribs with a carrier for 2.5" HDD or BlueSCSI overtop the blower. Make for an nice bloweroni-SCSI-sandwich, that.
