Nice! We used to salvage the original grey saucer Airport base stations since they had Orinoco Gold PCMCIA wireless cards inside. Many a laptop gained wireless capability for cheap/free because of this!

This would be good to know...

Disk should eject as long as there is power to the drive.

Nice grab. I have the SGI version of this, with the Diamond card to run it out of a PC, but I've never seen the Radius version in the flesh. I'd love to find the SGI Multilink adapter - that doesn't cost a fortune - to use it on some other things.

Looking forward to a Bill of Materials for all the necessary parts, and then it's time to warm up the printer! Looks great!

The "recap it" answer to most similar issues is only a stereotype because it's often true! :) Not slagging on you, @beeblebrox ! I've definitely put a few caps in backwards in my day, and taken a _long_ time to figure it out! The full recap is also just good preventative maintenance for...

Is this the 1.8 or 1.2 power supply? Will be interested to hear how your Bill of Materials matches up; I need to do this work on my Lisa

I know a company (PLI?) make a SCSI 3.5" drive that they sold for NeXT systems, and it seems there was a Mac version as well. https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/pli-superfloppy-2-8.21468/ http://ana-3.lcs.mit.edu/~jnc/cctalk/2001-May/2066.html

In a lot of Sun gear this year I got a 5 1/4" SCSI floppy drive. I've not seen one before. I can fathom how it would/could work in *nix, but anything else might be a crapshoot.

That's a very good sign!

@JDW has a good video on YouTube.

I've bought batteries and other Portable bits from this seller (alaska360) and been a very satisfied customer.

I've come into a clean PB G4 12" that doesn't boot. On powerup, I hear the HD start, and then I get fast system fans and nothing else. No chime, no activity on the screen. Doing PMU reset doesn't change anything with either battery in or battery out. It does seem to be charging the battery...

I"m hooked as well!

I could likely do some Zip testing once I track down my Zip SCSI cable :)

Looks great!

Always nice when things finally come together!

They have kits for both, plus the power supply if you want to go all out. I'm a satisfied customer...

You can use the Console5 link above to order the kit that has the correct caps that you need. Make sure it's the one with tantalum caps.

This will be fun!
