    Building my own 68k Performa / LC / Color Classic Test Bench

    Love it! May have a suggestion or two for your build. Is that older harness compatible with the 630/6200/6400/6500 harness interface supports? From the looks of it, the narrower AIO harnesses were a sub-set of the planned full width 580/630 thru 6500 buildout of that medusa-mess? I have a...

    HP ProBook 650 G1/i7 w/Docking Station. perfection in obsolescence . . . but Win11 Pro ~8-P

    Cannot catch a break with this one, then two and now today three machines. Win11 borks the third display over DVI on the dock. From the beginning: ProBook #1 - got the i5/16BB version and was happy enough with it. Display is 1080p as expected, was willing to spend $200 on Amazon ______________...

    "Budget" conscious Trinocular Microscope & Fume Extraction

    Was poking around and ran across pics of your setup in the thread @Mu0n did a couple of years back on dedicated workstations. https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/dedicated-tinkering-space-soldering-and-other.1763/post-14608 Definitely worth a look for anyone who hasn't explored it.

    "Budget" conscious Trinocular Microscope & Fume Extraction

    Thanks for bringing this thread back to the surface at an opportune moment! Turned 70 in June and first two Social Security checks hit the bank on the first, so the wait for this project mentioned above is over! 😁 I can now begin to figure out what's required for setting this up. Just ordered...

    Mythical Slot C in the 6400 Alchemy Architecture & CSII Insanity

    TGIF, this Sunday night. ;) IRL I'm in Sitka, Alaska's time zone with my internal date line 48 hours off kilter, but it works for me. 🤪 Finally got quite a bit done on converting the CableMonster above from Slot A to Slot B status! If that breadboard setup is successful, I've got the markers...

    Nubus Card

    https://pages.mtu.edu/~llsutter/appendices/frame.html Frame Capture Board, pretty ho-hum kinda thing, nothing interesting like VidCap. Looks to be Macintosh II era tech.

    Mythical Slot C in the 6400 Alchemy Architecture & CSII Insanity

    Ok, just made some headway! Now I need a little help: _ WTF is a resistive connection to an address line? _ How can I implement it on the Ribbon Cable Riser? Was planning to put a tap line on the four address lines @trag defined on the SuperMac ABC Riser above and suggested for CSII. Does this...

    Mythical Slot C in the 6400 Alchemy Architecture & CSII Insanity

    Printed out the MLA thread for highlighting/markup. Getting my head together, which is quite the project in itself. :oops:

    Mythical Slot C in the 6400 Alchemy Architecture & CSII Insanity

    Got the test setup up on the yesterday! No joy, but very interesting results for further experimentation. Successful test boot with single slot riser cable based Test Setup with no card installed. Using a USB card that was ready to hand: - came up as unrecognized card in Slot A1 per...

    Mythical Slot C in the 6400 Alchemy Architecture & CSII Insanity

    Test setup done on PCI side of things yesterday. Got interesting results, got WONKY results this morning! 😮 So it was back to basics this afternoon. Looks like diagram above is in error. I was pulling the GRANT line on pin 17 to ground on pin 18. Du-oh . . . :oops:

    Mythical Slot C in the 6400 Alchemy Architecture & CSII Insanity

    Research steps done, time to build the Slot C search testbed setup. Waiting for one more part to arrive. To recap: as you can see in the 6400/6500 PCI Riser, slot selection for Slot A is done in the "usual" way. It's Apple's way, not following PCI spec just as they failed to follow the NuBus...
