Sounds like a plan to me! The only other use case I can think of offhand might be for sharing the likes of an ADB hand scanner between three different users. A dedicated, central location for that would make sense with three workstations lined up in a DTP shop.

Nah, 4K obviously won't work as it's a 2x2 1080p aggregate, no? 2560x1600 IPS would put one hella' slide show on the Apple Display Unit inside the bezel of my precious BabyPB. LisaPquarium home for my plastic fish would be a more likely end game for my left intact Little Bit of Lisa. I've been...

What strikes me most about that card is the MacUser sticker. Is that a property tag? More likely a mail order house part number. Does the IIfx boot up or does any other NuBus Mac you might have for testing it? Running TattleTech to get the card's ID from the Declaration ROM (DeclROM) would be...

Badly misaligned, manual plugging when the system is hot would be what kills ADB Controllers. ;) ADB switching via rotary switch equipped manual KVM is just fine for switching ADB while hot. Though you do need to have ADBreset on the desktop at the ready to run it from the KBD. Mice tend to...

Lisa needs 3:4 aspect ratio panel. Won't work for anything over 1200x1600 unless letterboxed. 640x400 PowerBook is perfect for the Duo 2300c Panel in 16bit , letterboxed mode in the PB100 lid. That's what's in there now. I may revisit the Duo upgrade. AssFlap on the PB100 is spot on for a...

Been a while, but I was moving storage boxen out from above where the new carpet needs to go. PowerBook 190c/Trackball Edition. 18-20 years in progress. In the new world of filament printing, fitment and button making may bring it to the fore. Only regret is that this cannot be done in my...

Which set? It's all variable upon how deep I angle the marking instrument into the well. I can take w width/height spec, mark those on the bezel and stripe around from there anywhere between the point on the curves and the surface. I'm tempted to have my way with that little bit of Lisa. But so...

Thank you, insane storage arrangements, workshop design and space planning (cubic rubric) has been a thing for me since at least as far back as middle school . . . oh so many, many years ago. I did a BROR riff only because their design tool was where where @Mu0n started his quest for space...

Nice stuff there, etching my own PCB for custom layout would be the way I'd go. I've been playing with KBD layout since the early 90's. Most of my KBD hacks are in need of only the controller. I found this one recently and another I can't find ATM. The latter has a matrix scanner available for...

BROR Shelves x 2 + 2 shelf boxen + Droptop Worktop Unit = THIS + two leftover shelves + two leftover corner standards 🙃

Pre-Viz is a snap for me, olde schoole signpainter tricks employed with pencil or dry erase marker. :) Curvature at lower edge of Lisa is problematic w/o resurfacing and sanding away all texture from the balance of the bezel. No Problem for LisaP(ismo) forks of hack development, those will be...

YAY! I finally found where I stashed the //gs KBD! Perfect spot in the HackHutch right next to the swingout cutting board tool caddy, in plain sight of course. :rolleyes: Defining measurement for front edge of case would be 21mm in height. If I were to do HartmutBlack it would be a Silly...

Re: SJ running the BigMac project in 1984 after 128K release, before he left Apple a year later.

Outlined the plot for a horror flick over yonder and wondered about checking facts with gang in this forum: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/proposed-plot-for-a-horror-movie.41892/post-454354 Was there any form of bus level expansion before the NeXTcube was released?

If I ever find the perfect LCD, my Lisa II front bezeI (only have that one single part) may get the same treatment. 🤪 Can't imagine doing it with a sander to achieve a perfectly planar interface with the LCD.

Thats the ADB II KBD included with my SE/20 shipped 1987, received 1988. Replaced it ASAP with a real KBD, datadesk in VT-100 form factor.

Take a pic of the entire matrix and post it. I'll play with it in AI and then predict which keys are giving you trouble with intermittent contact. Meanwhile, look for marker pens that lay down flex circuit ink. ;) Which measurement are you going to use to define the front edge? Depressed...

I LOVE that cut down, flattened bezel. I've plans to do the same thing from the front side using an outside limiting router jig with bit that will cut along the underside. Mostly for SE/SE/30 flatish bezels, but doing my Classic can be done the same way. (CNCenvy+) Modular, printed backplane...

Good news that! Maybe test it by folding only the bottom layer of the sandwich underneath at the start? If that doesn't break connections then folding the top layer ought to be fine? I've never imagined that those flex circuits would take a liking to be folded to fit a magician's box. Go about...

What KBD are you Hacking apart, looks like ADB II? Got a pic of the controller and its connector? Folding the sandwich underneath has always seemed a bad idea to me. I've only considered: __ customized PCB made for the bottom layer __ controller bodged to extension on PCB __ lop off bottom...
