Glad you are enjoying the OLPC!

I found one from a US seller a while back. While that solved the keyboard issue, the next issue is that the power supply will start the machine, but then the machine locks up after a few minutes, and won't start again until the PS is left unplugged for a couple of hours. That project was pushed...

That looks great! I've been contemplating some changes to my office/work space, and this gives me some ideas...

Mine arrived via UPS today with no issues.

Nice - when you get it all figured out, please write it all up so I can make one for mine! :)

Doh! missed that obvious link. Downloaded now - thanks!

I've never been able to get LisatTest to run. I think I have a corrupted disk/image. Do you have a source for what worked for you?

I'm in for at least one, more likely two spools.

Can't find specs on the Ehman monitor to compare. Google search just turns up my asks about this from a long time ago :)

Specs on the Apple Portrait Display say Freq range of 47-63HZ, and vert Rate 75Hz and Horiz Rate 68.85 Khz. Resolution is 640x870 I had a Radius FPD card in an SE/30 and plugged my Portrait Display into it, and it worked, but there was a little shimmer to it. Radius FPD specs say 68.750 Khz...

Watching with interest as I have one of these guys with the same video card with pass-through, and a MicroMac Performer to put on top. OlePigeon and I both bought these from Hans at MicroMac 10(?) years ago, but never figured out the video.

this is cool - thanks!

I know there is an interposer board for the external floppy - at least there is some kind of board between the cable and the Citizen floppy drive. Whether that drive is "stock" or not, I don't know, but I suspect yes. The mouse I have with mine looks like the generic Microsoft mouse of that...

Does anyone know the layout of the Portable keyboard matrix? I've got a Portable that crashes when you press certain keys, like U, D, L, arrow keys, etc. It's not they keyboard itself, since if I switch in another keyboard, it does the same thing. As I'm going to start tracing things through...

My T-shirt wore out long ago as well.

Pretty sure an 800K drive in there will look and work as a 400K drive - it will only write data to the one side of the disk. It might not physically line up with the slot, though; it's been a while and I can't remember...

Very handy - thanks!

I was there - I think I see my (very tall) friend in one of the pictures :)

Have completed the recap of a backlit Portable. The machine boots, sound is good, screen is good, etc. Boots from external SCSI drive. The issue I'm having is no matter what the application or text box, whenever I type more than 3-4 characters on the keyboard, it either drops to the ROM...

I've got a Firewire/SCSI doodad somewhere if that helps...
