Yep... that could be indeed the cause too... a way to confirm is tapping the left side of the Mac, and see if that makes it work.

Maybe not in this case, but slow start I think is typically due to some bad capacitors

Hello, I disassembled it and cleaned it. I tried also to lubricate, but the mechanism seems quite simple and I didn't see clearly where could be friction. I'll check the springs... Txs!

Hello, my ZIP 100 drive almost never ejects the disc. If I help pulling the disk slightly while ejecting, it will eject it... it's like it doesn't have strength to do it itself. Is this a common problem?

Hi. I live in Switzerland. Sometimes they pop in an ebay-like web we have here.

Hey... that's promising! The big ones are felt or some kind of dense foam?

Hey, It’s already the second color ribbon I buy and this one also has the problem of the crumbling rubber gears. is there any way to repair this? Txs!

Really cool seeing this improvement. Congratulations for the result of such a hard work. This clearly sets a difference on the easiness for self-making it... Do you plan to release the Gerber's and the component placement files to order the boards with the SMD components in-place, like in the...

Thanks! I don’t have the skills or tools to work properly the wood… This case was made by a guy I know in Spain that is a retrocomputing hobbyist, that happens to work as carpenter. He told me he can make others.

Some fori also use TapaTalk as mobile interface… if I’m not wrong it requires to install a plug-in

Hey there, I watched this video from Classic Mac Gaming and I think this could spark some new project. I'm basically aiming to develop something that can: - Be developed with CodeWarrior, because I'm into that now - 68K - Work at least in System 7, but ideally also in System 6 - Probably only...

I got mine from Aliexpress and they worked fine. In the pack the chips had different marking, ones Germany (original said "West Germany") and Austria, both with the old "Siemens & Halske" logo

Definitely this is a project I’ll be following up…

Well… I’d only do that if I had several spares… these things are too rare already.

It would be quite cool to see it with the matching keyboard and mouse... or maybe even cooler to see it with totally different colours, such as a blue keyboard and a green mouse

Does it keep doing the scary noises when booting without ROM, or just stands still until the PiStorm service is alive?
