Without a pre-heater, I usually heatgun from the back and pull the IC off with tweezers. Only works of you don't want toi keep the board of course.
The variant without tweezers is to have the board upside down and something soft that will catch the IC (you may need to tap the board a little bit)...
Thanks! KB030514 is the one I remembered. Plenty of other info at this archive... like this driver was created for System 4.3. Might explain some of the spaghetti code.
You are welcome.
Hope I didn't make too much assumptions while working on this, will gladly help anyone here if needed.
For everyone that may want to try this:
MacOS side you want to choose the driver that come with whatever MacOS version you are running (below 7.5.1)
It comes in two variants...
During the group buy, a lot of people were interested for a color closer to our old gear (white/beige/light gray), here is what it looks like
Activity LED is orange-ish like the Mac II era HDD ones, whereas on the blue one LED collar is sea-ish blue
Glad to hear about another success!
After looking at this LED issue, the error is mostly on my side, sorry about that. What happened: the SSL-LX5093SRC39240 is similar to the SSL-LX5093SRC/E except cheaper and with short leads. Except the LX5093SRC39240 pictures show a LED with long leads...
as @Tashtari said, the device as you know it (that translucent bluebox that I posted that @Mu0n built in his nice video) is unfortunately audio only (Internal Mic or external line in). Long answer below
Citing MIDI in that small box was hard and the BOM was going a little crazy (need other...
That's weird. For the panels, you can indeed go for the bare minimum as it was designed that way. Check "Select order location" to have the build number on the invisible side.
Edit: just understood that you are doing a group by. Please keep in mind that we didn't check compatibility on a lot of...
Now your old Mac can hear you scream!
Introducing... TashRecorder!
Elevator Pitch
This a compatible clone of the Farallon MacRecorder , but as far as the software is concerned, it's the real deal!
Both @Tashtari and myself (since 2021!) had this project on our own, one of us having a working...
Nice !
Yes, that's what I've found as well (with the community help) 3 screw versions are ALPS ones, 4 or 8 screws are NMB ones
This matches the information on Deskthority here
Usually LEDs (most, not all) do have a flat notch on them. It should match the notch on the PCB silkscreen
My bad, you are right. It's 2mm spaced
You are welcome !
I've never seen the 341-0875-A. Where did you find it ?
Sure. For this project with this controller (341-0001) there is no difference. The controller is versatile and has everything built in (Pull-ups, current limiting resistors…)
Using another controller however, pinout issues aside, would maybe need (at lease) a resistor network on the keyboard...
