    A takky Mac…..

    Very nice! how are you limiting the sanding/polishing to only the display area? Got linkage to the vacuum formed bubbles on etsy? That process better have been perfected by now. My stuff was done back in January, 2013!

    What are Modern Monitor/ Video Adapters for Old Macs?

    Here's the only shot I have of what I'm pretty sure is a nonstandard VGA/60Hz res: First run playing with that card, not dialed in. Crappy digicam shot, but gives you the idea. Can position the image anywhere desired on the 1080p field. Got the SuperMac Spec/8 SI set up almost perfectly...

    Display graphic FULL SCREEN on Mac SE?

    Understood, had to ask if such might be of help to reduce editing time and double takes. The only stupid question . . . ;)

    Display graphic FULL SCREEN on Mac SE?

    No doubt, but I'm talking about something on the order of a 120-140mm Noctua. RPM to be revved down so that the much larger fan's CFM would equal the output of the smaller internal fan after pressure losses inherent in the ducting. Noise and airflow would be pointed straight down and away from...

    Keyboard repurposing: USB/ADB converter boards

    Found some more stuff using "mechanical keyboard" in search: Controllers, etc: https://1upkeyboards.com/product-category/controllers/ Looks like this guy's amazing work uses Teensy controller (page 2 above) with mechanical switches: https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2534&start=

    A takky Mac…..

    Following with great interest, best of luck getting this worked out. Wondering if milling a convex back surface for a two part mold might be an approach to try. smoothing and polishing a convex surface is oh so much easier than concave surface work. :) Just in case: I've got a thread about...

    Display graphic FULL SCREEN on Mac SE?

    Wondering if you take a different route will help? Remove the fan entirely from the Compact on the table and bodge ductwork from the vents around, down and under the table positioned so it's not visible in the video. Point a much larger, higher CFM, but far less noisy fan so that it points...

    Keyboard repurposing: USB/ADB converter boards

    Found a couple of great links for Laptop KBD conversions: https://www.instructables.com/How-to-Make-a-USB-Laptop-Keyboard-Controller/ https://hackaday.com/2018/12/04/teensy-liberates-the-thinkpad-keyboard/ Conversion of some PowerBook KBDs are listed, but target is the PB1400 KBD, which hasn't...

    Memory Morass: Jailbreaking the Discrete IC Bank A limitations Apple imposed on all but top tier Macs + SimmSpender 3.0

    Musical chair links to attachments worked out great for once. Found this beauty randomly substituted for a link in one of my MLA posts: Somewhere Pics surfaced of a much earlier machines being upgraded in similar fashion. ISTR that being a SIP to a single 30pin SIMM? @Zane Kaminski is this...

    Macintosh SE or SE/30 Fan Bracket

    Thanks, sounds good, but didn't see the operational method offhand. The heating of the wire for measuring cooling effects of airflow seems problematic in terms of implementation without variance between setups. I'll have to play some with the images floating around in my head, do some sketches...

    A Classic II/LC III laptop/book….

    VERY nice! Hinged LCD as in alternate view of the black version?

    found this little guy...

    Thunderscan rocked! Dunno about IWII, but on the Wide Carriage ImageWriter(1) it was awesome. I hunted down that beast before my backordered SE/20/Radius16 based sign system arrived with its inferior Security Camera/Video Digitizer setup. Had to buy the Fat Mac bundled with the PrintMONSTER, so...

    Macintosh SE or SE/30 Fan Bracket

    Thanks! I figured the concept was viable. Looked at MAF on Wikipedia and found a far more simple mechanism than the undershot water wheel model for a flow sensor mechanism. VAF (volume air flow) sensor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_flow_sensor#Moving_vane_meter LOL! Too many variables...

    Macintosh SE or SE/30 Fan Bracket

    Are you in the U.S. or elsewhere? Very curious about cost of fan and locally printed ductwork? Thinking of running the test regime with my pass-thu fan/horizontal neck board SE. Stock 1987 SE tested in four configurations: - OEM pass-thru fan setup - swapped in SE/30 axial fan/sheet metal...

    Macintosh SE or SE/30 Fan Bracket

    Noctua's a big improvement. Fans like that have come a long way in the past 30+ years. How noisy was the "squirrel?"

    Rotten doesn't work as well, ripening to rot stage seems to be most effective . . . < briefly considers fixing screens . . . >
