Understood. I like to keep hacks and bodgery to available DC voltages downstream of UL approvals. Not afraid of mains wiring, I've done three phase . . . but KISS principle compliance is where it's at! ;)

Question: why not just snake a 12V line up through the handle cooling vents to dispense with cordage and switch complications entirely? Tether the connector to the chassis and break off the latch of a standard wire-wire connector for tethered to the vents for pull-it-loose strain relief...

I worked it out in a thread over at the MLA, I'll look around for it. edit: that was a quick search! https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/mac-portable-peripherals-schematic-development.36374/

Cool, I wonder if you can have the IIci running under System 6 and have the Rocket boot into System 7 from its disk? Works the other way around with Rocket in NuBus PPC booting into System 7 with its host running OS 8.x IIRC.

"IIfs" oopsie, my bad on that typo too. :) You do have a Rocket33/25 and not the 40MHz RocketShare only version, no? If RocketShare disks shipped with the card as opposed to RocketWare, that'd indicate the latter and no joy on acceleration under RocketWare nor support for System 6..

De nada. Excited to see this repro project taking shape! Wondering about your centrifugal blower notion anyway. Check CFM/decibel output of right sized blowers against axials for that cubic, there's plenty of height for the intake side. Shooting both air and noise directly out the backside...

Confused here, does it cool by overpressuring the case with cool air or by sucking the hot air out? The former would wreak havoc with the Compact's convection cooling setup, I'd think?

Sounds like a plan. Are you testing under RocketWare, RocketShare or both? ISTR that you can only run it under RocketShare on the IIfx? I was under the impression that the IIfs had a hard 1GB memory ceiling? ;)

Yep, figured we'd be wasting way more than just the "other" 16 data lines. What's the lowest capacity 72pin SIMM extant? If one were but 2MB we'd still be wasting 3x what we'd be using besides that MB on the wrong side of the bus. ;)

I made a few suggestions to the cabinetmaker whose shop was across the street from mine. He was amazed by the way the tweaks positively impacted his workflow, the time and effort saved in the doing of it. I totally rearranged my friend's sign shop, moving assembly tables out of the dark to the...

I miss the days of vibrant forums activity at Applefritter and the MLA from 2002 or so, pre Facebook infestation of the web. I don't know about the social media activity channels that have taken the place of long running discussions in the forums. Are they any good for searching long archived...

I've got a lot of Radius boards. Their ROMs and Drivers are often backward compatible. Have you tried the 4.4 driver?

Thanks, I just edited that boo-boo, should have read Compact Flash, not SD. It's been so long I feel like a n00b as well here. IIRC you'll only need to initialize the CF Card in the 190. No low level formatting required? When it comes to volume size/OS limits I think I'll never get things...

Internal handle implemented. Bucket stays on the shelf. Simple cutout at top, back side of half depth bucket would suffice, no need to clutter a 3.5" deep top surface.

Beautiful! Wondering how long it will take you to have a sheet of plexi laid out like that for a clear bucket? We don' need no steenking handles! Not in a short stroked bucket with a beautiful wood chassis anyway. ;)

Can she or anyone here think of any hobby that's not ridiculous on the face of it to anyone who has no particular affinity for it.? I rest my case. I'm right there with you. I have project boxen of every sort and size. They come out whenever the fancy strikes and go back whenever I begin to...

Tony Stark???? Oh, the shop with the redhead? :)

Anyone with combination wrenches displayed in order by size on pegboard makes me scratch my head. That's what a triple-decker is for, organization as such in drawers. At the very least, keep that stuff in the likes of the red Craftsman four drawer chest I keep at hand.

Don't bother, it's obviously not that kind of shop. It looks a damn sight more practical for auto and around the house kinda stuff to me. Seems to have three walls to work with and no particular interest in trinketry. I have to laugh at the majority of shop tips-n-tricks I've seen over the...
