    The Macintosh Minus - pi-powered mini Mac Plus clone with 5" CRT display

    Nice, was wondering if it was color because the neck seems soooo long for a 5" tube. I can estimate from that shot, but a straight-on, full profile of front bezel and tube I can use as a template in AI to figure out how well the BackPaq Camo thing might work out. Looks promising! ;) Edit: was...

    The Macintosh Minus - pi-powered mini Mac Plus clone with 5" CRT display

    Color display? Still need length of tube from mounting bracket to rear of cap and cap's height above centerline of tube. Profile pic of display would be appreciated. Oblique views too if possible.

    Hoping folks will chime in with data and pics that I can edit into IP table.

    SuperMac VidCards - Timeline Development - Links

    Couldn't find a general "Peripherals" forum, is there one and should this be moved there? I think it's time to flesh out what information is available on LEM and wherever else I can dredge it up. Tried to group by series rather than alphabetically. Spectrum/24 v. 1.0 - undocumented - Rev.A...

    Dedicated tinkering space (soldering and other)

    A dolly at that far beliow normal price point that's not available in stores OR online smacks of bait-n-switch to me. If not, get one for the wheels and put 'em on a simple storage box to raise the top of the TV to just below the lowest shelf. Still putting forward the suggestion for...

    Dedicated tinkering space (soldering and other)

    I'd been wondering why that pile of toys on the couch looks so familiar . . . looks over at heap of techtoys on the futon. :oops: KISS? You got it. One immediate tweak: bolt up a pegboard panel to the side of your shelf unit above worktop level with frame(s) sunk between vertical and...

    The Macintosh Minus - pi-powered mini Mac Plus clone with 5" CRT display

    8" FDD? Too BIG scaled to that extent. Drop it to Lisa form factor so the CRT is at an ergonically correct height. Put something like six open 5.25" bays on the right as the Macntosh Lisa 3/TPDc DTP/CAD Release.

    The Macintosh Minus - pi-powered mini Mac Plus clone with 5" CRT display

    I'm excited to hear you're going with the TwiggyMac Bezel! Once you have that in the can, it can be scaled up to life size. Been looking into a printed insert for my TwiggyMac hack of a cracked Plus bezel. I can't do anything with your actual model, I've only done 2D CAD and that was thirty...

    A takky Mac…..

    I'd say it's fun to play around with it, I did, but only if you're interested in doing that kind of thing on 68K. PPC finished off the need for DSP IIRC. If I could just find that dratted Q630 board. :rolleyes: Info on those connectors?

    A takky Mac…..

    The MPEG Media PDS Card cables up to that connector. DSP on board does some CODEC or other for early video and PhotoCD and if you want to use it as a pictureframe. I think the Presentation System Card hooks up to it too? Not awake yet . . . :sleep: edit: forgot, looks fabulous! Where does...

    What I've received as of late...

    disable Mode32 and see if it boots. If not, swap the original SIMMs back in?

    Glad you like 'em. Post some side on pics and requisite measurements and I can dial it in for you. ;)

    The Macintosh Minus - pi-powered mini Mac Plus clone with 5" CRT display

    Finally found a pic of your neck board, looks tiny so the angle can be sharpened more as compared to my first AI doodle:

    The Macintosh Minus - pi-powered mini Mac Plus clone with 5" CRT display

    edit: I like the more rakish angle of the chamfer, it's growing on me. I think it streamlines your cinderblock nicely. :ROFLMAO: However you will be needing to angle the handle recess down toward the front for finger room if you decide to take it this way. Definitely consider the TwiggyMac...

    The Macintosh Minus - pi-powered mini Mac Plus clone with 5" CRT display

    Thanks, I figured you'd like it. Question would be the height of the top edge of the neck board on your CRT. Clearing that is the problem and will likely require reducing the angle of the camfer? I've got a 10" Color CRT in a Plus, but the neck board is way too big to fit within the BackPaq...

    The Macintosh Minus - pi-powered mini Mac Plus clone with 5" CRT display

    I like it! Great work. For v.2 go TwiggyMac with the slot, it's a lot more interesting visually and would set your rendition apart from the LCD MiniMacs. Looks a bit odd due to the length, but if you shallow up sj's chamfer on the back edge, you might be able to hide a good portion of the...

    Sony Trinitron - one of the GREATEST TV and monitor technologies in history 📺

    I've still got the Sony 17" Trinitron Display I put in the Rig Rat's room with the Quadra 630 and Apple Powered Speakers. It was bigger than the 15" Trinitron TV we had in our bedroom. That was my first computer display when I hooked up the C64. Wild times playing Red Baron on that baby with...

    WANTED --- Radius Two Page Display driver --- WANTED

    I've another thread about TPD/SE and adapting that single BNC output to VGA RGB inputs for a multisync LCD panel. Have you seen that one? Pretty much still need the scaler to pull it off even after that I think. ROMs have only to do with Driver/OS combo support IIRC. Getting the output from...
