He said: Genuine HDD mounter cannot be used with the Radius Pivot card compatible adapter with horizontal, non-slanted slots. HDD is probably OK, just gotta bin that stupid big, overlong HDD cage of SE origin and use the simple flat type. Half height drive is a given. Says there are three...

Exactly, but the IIci Cache Slot connector is exactly the same as the PDS. Very strange to find a TwinSlot type card for SE/30. I'm surprised I've never seen another. @JDW have you seen a card like this before? Pretty nifty. @retr01 I was talking about the power connectors on that breakout...

That looks like an actual, straight thru card with two stock PDS Slots. I looks nothing like an adapter for PowerCache or any other IIsi Cache Slot interfaced card as there's no indication of trace orientation change or the PAL IC logic required for conversion? Don't think I've ever seen a...

< tangential turn > Mine'd be clear behind hazy clear from his first almost perfect run of buckets. If it'll withstand heat during bending, engine turned white gold mirroring, backed with clear varnish would be see-thru, much like gilded fire fighter face shields. Problem there is that...

Your chassis design has the wheels spinning in my head for a slotted together clear acrylic chassis for the milky clear SE/30 prototyping case @MacEffects so generously sent my way. Your CNC router table has me wondering about V-grooving top and bottom surfaces of a plexi chassis blank to then...

Build it and they will come? Expanding the envelope of tool capability is just something I've always done. I have/had an incredible array of tools at my disposal over the years. If I didn't have it or couldn't afford it, I bodged what I needed from what was on hand. I was an avid...

Nice, getting a course on this stuff! Open source software in the review linked in OP would be target. I'll have to play with the drawing later: __ CNC routed or better laser cut plywood arc is geared on the inside __ outer ring and sides engaged by rollers on the sensor crawler __ robotic...

Nice snag. Slap it in a Slot, run TattleTech and the PDS/NuBus report will tell you what the DeclROM has to say about it. ;) edit: Rotary switch has Futura written all over it, check out the specs on LEM: https://lowendmac.com/video/index.html

Crazy morning musing of the day. Ran across this information on open source hardware and software. https://www.3dsourced.com/rankings/best-diy-3d-scanner/ Scanning my IIfx, Q950 or at least the Radius 81/110 in one piece on a DIY would be epic. CC and smaller would be OK too. Limiting factor...

Yep, considered the truss/honeycomb/etc. design possibilities of printing. But the parts are overly large for printing, even done in sections I think. What would that quantity of filament cost? CNC router cutting or better yet, laser cut panels have got to cost a lot less made to order than...

Not sure if info's a help here, but can confirm that the Radius Rocket does much the same thing as Prodigy at startup. Rocket/Whoosh screen exhibits after ROM is copied into memory on the Rocket in second boot. Two reasons I think: 2nd - access from ROM copied to RAM at the clock of the...

Concur, your router cut chassis has better rigidity than large printed parts I would think. Can't believe I entirely forgot about your detailed updates on page two, anyone following along or new to the thread needs to take a look. Your illustration definitely needs reposting at this point...

How wide is the combo chip interface to the processor bus? The unified bus of the 180 is 32bit, no? Bridged 68030 I/O bus in the 5x0 is narrower at only 16bit on top of its being downclocked.

Constantly flashing LED draws a tiny bit of power, a paramount consideration in PowerBook design. SCSI/SD replacement for spinner nails that box shut. Activity LED on BlueBird-SD-Module cover plate's a silly affection, but what the heck? Tinker Different! 🤪

Just so, TAM/6400 upgrade tangent popped up when removing the edge connector from your 630 board was suggested. That's the only reason I can think of to ever do that. Silly notion, wiring loom/MoBo drawer connection is the bombe for any other purpose. < /tangent >

One last shot, putting this stuff away in the project box today. Not pretty: __ vertical full size USB is a no go, TinyUSB flat on board should align well with puckered lips __ forgot to mark out the LED activity light on right __ everything's out of whack, but centering openings up shouldn't...

That's been tested, IDE vs. SCSI benchmarks are a wash in the 630. If anything IDE wins out by a hair IIRC, but that would be disk performance, unrelated to interface performance I think? CF/Adapter trumps all. ;)

TAM: incompatibility related to MoBo connector removal for 6400 upgrade . . . https://www.sonnettech.com/product/legacyproducts/tempo_trio.html . . . 68K upgrade of TAM sounds like fun? :unsure:

LOL! Welcome to my world of word wreckage. GRLF has a name for the sections missing from line of thoughts expressed in words, can't think of it offhand. Under RocketShare you can dedicate extended displays to Rocket and host. __ Period correct display sits on top of IIci processor shared host...

Set your IIci and appropriate small monitor dedicated to its output next to your daily driver. Rocket dedicated hi resolution VidCard output KVM switched to your big screen. Wombat/USB conversion on the KM line goes without saying. ;)
