From ten years ago: ZipMacPlus™ Amazingly enough, all the pics documenting the process in the original thread remain intact! https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/zipmacplus%E2%84%A2.26752/ Cliff Notes recap: Don't recall if this converter design is correct or...

LOVE IT! Great work, had something similar in mind back when @MacEffects was developing the clear case. One suggestion, not pickin' nits here, love it as is, but if interested in further development: Take that fabulous adapter to your local big box home tinkering store for comparison to a round...

Back on topic of the history of Apple's NuBus implementations: Found a Dock II board in the pile and have identified the quartet of Bus Transceivers from TI in the Block Diagram above: 74ACT16651 - 16-Bit Transceivers And Registers With 3-State Outputs - mouser.com 74ACT16651 at $14.64 ea. So...

Cool, let us know how she reacts and what you think might be good. Pic is an end table lamp, so arms too long, but illustrated the notion very nicely I think.

Work was slow, so I read up on the history of French (and Italian) Cuisine. Looks like the Medici Myth has been thoroughly debunked. Very interesting to read about those who developed, documented and codified so may schools of cuisine and spread them to other countries.Wikipedia level though it...

French food is Italian food once removed. ;)

YOWCH! :eek: Grease up all exposed surfaces of person with cocoa-butter before even painting with latex. 😬 Now that we have low voltage LED light fixtures, it might make sense to have a pull down light fixture counterbalancing your pot washing pull up faucet? Thinking dentist's/surgeon's light...

Wow, didn't realize folks were so actively pursuing this kind of thing? Thanks! I was thinking a castellated PCB was a higher/multi-level version of an interstitial adapter, but it refers to castellation of thruholes used to make contact? I've been hoarding an advert for a patented industrial...

YAY! storage corral sections of shelf platform nearing completion. Bending warped castoffs to my will. Gotta find my doweling jug, shims won't do it below, but bolts will above. Doweling seems a lost art, rudimentary if exacting woodworking skill and a good, low budget TinkerTip I think...

That! < TLDR > However for me the exercise is more an exploration of the "artwork" that is a Logic Board's routing and "seeing" how all the components fit together within the copper Labyrinth. I can't "see" those connections on a conventional schematic, nor do I grok the code that you navigate...

ISTR there being STIL(?) files released in the 3D Printed Objects thread at the MLA for printing your own?

Morning musing of the day: This section of my Rev.A's HALs ought to be fairly easy to isolate from the State Machine HALs, no? Thinking in terms of socketing that section of the board and doing a PCB that would be a plug in replacement for them? Conversion of their I/O to match that of the TI...

Got pics?

That's pretty much what this thread is, but I think it's probably bett here in the DIY forum. That way I can add stuff as I go along, post projects I've documented in the past as time permits and it'll keep popping up in new posts now and then?

Wondering if the width of your case lends itself to doing a Mini-Portrait Display utilizing one of the inexpensive RPi LCD kits? 768x1024 calling! 🙃

WOW!!!!! :cool: Lovin' it, but maybe I might make a suggestion? One LEM legend is that the Q630 was a rework of the Q605 logic board. You might consider that board to keep this wonderful build Quadra correct? Breaking connectors out the backside presents no real problem. ;) edit: that top...

I love the images you chip de-constructors provide. How many layers does an ASIC like NuChip employ? I'm wondering if my set of HALs might be shaved(?) and imaged for reverse engineering? Reproduction by burning GAL/PAL replacements would entail how much work? What might be the odds of...

Rats, all my in progress pics are on the phone! Here's a teaser, shows my love of the figure, color and knotty textures of wood. I've been hoarding the best bits and pieces from what I've used since I moved down here in 2004, apparently just for this project. The two front rails are shipping...

Update: minor project documented upthread finished! Spade bit countersunk hex bolt head and washer are used where particle board material doesn't meet carriage bolt requirements. As the name implies, they were meant to be used in an application where really solid, tightly grained, first growth...

666MHz . . . perfection! :devilish: I love it, fabulous hacking with incredible fit and finish, the backplane and especially the CD conversion exhibit true mastery in practice of the black arts! 😀
