Awesome. I’m curious how / what is going on…

So to sum up this thread: • BlueSCSI needs external power from floppy cable in order to wake it up after sleep. • RAM expansion cuts CPU speed in half and then chops that speed in half again after sleep. * could still be isolated case to a defect in my board. Won’t know for sure until someone...

I found the culprit! It's the 7MB RAM expansion. I pulled the card out and bam! my machine was running at full speed (even faster than yours at 2.154) before and after sleep. Both issues fixed with RAM card removed.

So do I. Max performace. I just tried system 7. Same results. I get faster graphics and HD speed than yours but your cpu and math are faster…

Wierd. A lot better. Your cpu shows 2.1. I ran the cpu test only. You are also running system 7 which slows things down and I was on system 6. 🤔

I don’t even have a display or anything hooked up. Not even a speaker. I’m only trying to get anything other than a clock right now. Some square waves off the roms mpu etc. For that I shouldn’t need any RAM installed right?

Right. Like a lipo. I assume when the portable does its final shutdown the battery will not be lower than 50%. I’ll check it next time.

I don’t need to have the memory sims installed either in order for the system to run correct?

Right. I figured it wouldn’t affect the system as a whole. I ordered some crystals. I know it’s a resonator and not an oscillator. The ones I ordered call them both but I’m pretty sure it’s just a crystal. There was a broken trace but after I fixed it it still wasn’t oscillating. This is what I...

Oh wow I didn’t realize you can’t fully discharge the lead acids. Yikes I probably came close a couple times when I was testing it.

OK Here are my new findings: For starters I have no oscillation on Y4 or at Um5 pin 2 and 3 as well. they are sitting at 2.4v Not sure if this is important or not. Is this just the realtime clock or is it part of the VIA chips and are they required to get the MPU running? On the MPU: Reset...

Heres some speed test results before sleep and after using Speedometer 3.23 (not sure what units those numbers are in but quite a difference): 1.252 before sleep. 0.551 after sleep. So after sleep the CPU is running at about 50%

I have a 6V 5Ah Lead Acid: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MYL8OQU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Got some copper sheet and made a 3d printed repro :) I get 7 hours just running the After Dark screensaver all day as a test. And thats skipping through all of the battery...

My guess is the CPU glue oscillator is fine since everything works perfectly until it sleeps and then wakes up. Ive tested the charging/discarge and alert dialogs that pop up as the battery gets low and runs on reserve power all the way to the "goodbye" message. I get about 7 hours of runtime on...

Good to know. Ok I’ll check it. I’ll have to take the machine apart again when I have time. I'm looking at the schematics and see that Q11 goes to Sys_Pwr on U15H. What is that? It's hard to tell which chip it is on the board. I guess it is the VIA.

yeah, I checked the oscillators Y1, Y2, Y3, And Y4 and click on the 68030, 6882, UF11, UG11 and UG13. I will check the gluechip. Not sure what the mdu, rbv, and e clock are. Been hunting down and patching broken traces as well. I found a couple more by the scsi chip and external scsi port but...

Also I tried multiple systems. I booted off of a bare bones System 6.0.8 install disk and it still does it. So I need someone with a third party hybrid board (mine is @SuperSVGA’s) to confirm it is not happening so I know it is isolated to my board only. I could try @Androda’s hybrid board as...

OK yeah mine is 100% consistent and very noticeable. I have the talking moose extension on and after wake up he sounds like a slow talking demon from hell 😂 I’m wondering (again) if it could be related to the hybrid board I had to replace since it’s power manager related. 🤷‍♂️ if it is then...

I realized that lol 🤦‍♂️ I made the mistake of trusting ChatGPT out of laziness instead of confirming. From 68030 reference. it’s seems to vary sometimes no? Anyway, now that I know it’s not RESET, I need to figure out what the key areas are to check with the scope. Im getting nothing front he...

Permanent til restart. sleep, wake, cpu slow til restart. I thought it was isolated to system 6 but it was a false alarm same thing happens in 7.5.3.
