    Macintosh SE Sad Mac: Bad RAM chip identification possible?

    It might be possible to find. It's just not high priority for me right now since I have other good and working 1MB SIMMs. But I can come back to this at anytime, get a new chip and see if that works. Pretty amazing animated GIF you made there! That must have taken some serious time to...

    Macintosh SE Sad Mac: Bad RAM chip identification possible?

    EBAY shows four 1MB SIMMs for a good price until shipping to Japan is added https://www.ebay.com/itm/153233852691 So I don't really know.

    Macintosh SE Sad Mac: Bad RAM chip identification possible?

    Thank you very much! I will do that test when I have time, but for now, I humbly wish to thank you for educating me on the proper way to diagnose 30-pin RAM SIMMs down to the chip level. Amazing!

    Macintosh SE Sad Mac: Bad RAM chip identification possible?

    I confirmed that pins 1 & 25 are connected to each other on all 8 chips. I then tested between SIMM pad 23 and pin 1 of each chip and found that only the second IC from the right, as shown below, is connected to pad 23.

    Macintosh SE Sad Mac: Bad RAM chip identification possible?

    @YMK I apologize. I was busy and hadn't looked at the LC321000-10 datasheet (SMD chip version) as I should have. But extracting the relevant chip diagram from the correct SMD version datasheet shows this... Din = pin 1 Dout = pin 25 So the 2 pieces of advice you gave me were: You should...

    Macintosh SE Sad Mac: Bad RAM chip identification possible?

    @YMK To understand how to test "D6" I was looking for a schematic of 8-chip 30-pin SIMMs. I only found this one, which doesn't have 8 chips... SOURCE: https://alexandrugroza.ro/microelectronics/system-design/4mx9-simm/index.html The only useful thing the above schematic tells me is that...

    Macintosh SE Sad Mac: Bad RAM chip identification possible?

    Thank you for the specific guidance! I appreciate it. I've extracted the content you spoke of here... It is basically the same content as what @retr01 posted here, and what is shown on this website. It was that same info I consulted when putting together my opening post. Simply put, that...

    Macintosh SE Sad Mac: Bad RAM chip identification possible?

    @Crutch , could you please provide an exact link to the "THINK Reference" you are referring to? The best I can find on Macintosh Garden is Symantec THINK C 6.0.1, but when I open "THINK Reference" on "Development.img" in Mini vMac, I only see this... Now THAT is the speedy testing tip I was...

    Macintosh SE Sad Mac: Bad RAM chip identification possible?

    Kai, thank you for your reply. I gleaned the Rear = Bank A, Front = Bank B info from this Low End Mac article. (6th paragraph from the top) I know for a fact which SIMM is bad because I put it into different slots with 3 other known-good SIMMs and the Sad Mac codes changed in accordance to the...

    Macintosh SE Sad Mac: Bad RAM chip identification possible?

    I've been testing my inventory of 1MB RAM SIMMs using my Mac SE Reloaded machine, and with one particular set of SIMMs, I get a Sad Mac at cold boot showing these 2 lines: 00000004 <— "Bank A" 00004000 <— Failed bits... AABBCCDD AA = bits 31-24 BB = bits 23-16 CC = bits 15-8 DD = bits 7-0...

    Bringing the Internal SCSI drive to the 128k, 512k, and Plus

    It seems everyone now understands the HyperDrive I show is not SCSI, I should add that at 7:14 in my GCC HyperDrive 10 video, I show it is an ST-412 interface (instead of SCSI). That interface requires two cables. Also, as I point out in that same video, the HyperDrive was on the market at the...

    Logic Board - Macintosh SE Reloaded

    Not sure. It was like that when I got it. But it probably can be straightened without issue. Now that I know the chip is pre-programmed, I need to build the board, then test it. I can then report back here as to the result.

    Logic Board - Macintosh SE Reloaded

    Good question. You are referring to this ADB chip used by Kai's PCB... @Kai Robinson, from what board were these chips extracted? (The two in the photo above are the 2 you kindly shipped to me.)

    Logic Board - Macintosh SE Reloaded

    Kai, thank you for that important clarification, especially because your Github page here does not clearly state the chips that you need must be special pre-programmed chips that are to be acquired from the place like UT source. In an older PM, you had previously told me the following... But...

    Logic Board - Macintosh SE Reloaded

    Explained in green at the bottom of page 4 in my BOM here. I have not built or tested one of those boards because I have never bought the required programmer. I assume @Kai Robinson has programmed and tested at least one of them though.

    Grid 1 REVIEW — iPhone 2G Wall Art

    I actually did some EBAY searching. For a scratched up 2G unit which nobody wants, you'll pay about US$80. For a more pristine unit that is also functional, you'll pay US$250. But if I had a functional unit, I'd probably keep it in a case or drawer mostly, whipping it out to show people when...

    Grid 1 REVIEW — iPhone 2G Wall Art

    My preference too "if and only if" it arrives intact. Knowing how these items get kicked around, it probably wouldn't unless they spend a lot more on packing material to ensure the glass arrives in a pristine condition.

    I take it you have the RAM chips with the Apple logo printed on them? Those seem to be the worst in terms of reliability for some reason.
