Sounds like I got some double checking to do... either for OS version or for an expansion card. Hahaha.

But not 9? I don't understand why the same mobo and same hard drive run 9 just fine in the 575 box, but not in the CC box. Very headscratchy, indeed.

Yeah, now that I've verified functionality (it booted normally in the LC 575 incarnation and got to the disk graphic right before the bus error) I have a list: Full recap (including ultrasonic cleaning of both boards) and testing is first. I was looking at the battery situation, and I thought...

Two things to solve: 1) Moved over the drive and the mobo from my 575. Key getting "system" bus errors, even when I restart without extensions. Looked at PowerCC and I guess some versions of System 7 need enablers, but the 575 HD I moved over with the board has System 9. What should I do? 2)...

It says this card is compatible with the DayStar 040 accelerator. Would that mean it's also compatible with the original Carrera040 and the Bolle Carrera040? https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/q1125709316?lang=en&rc=yaucc Thanks! - K

I already have an order with the seller waiting to ship. Maybe I'll offer $40 and see what they say.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/404800313624 70 bones... I'm mostly thinking about hard to find chips and the CRT tube. Worth it? I'd also be cool to sell the parts I'm not looking to have back ups for at no profit.

How do you use the bent tips? I've never seen one in use and I can't find bent tip usage on circuit boards on YouTube, so I'm having difficulty imagining the application. No hoof tips availalbe for this fella yet. :(

Why are conical tips not liked?

What y'all think about this one? I like the horizontal pan dimensions. Not so in love with how deep, but this is pretty much the best fit for compact mac lobos and ATX mobos. A bit too small for analog boards, but I can clean them in two parts I guess...

@Androda So I was thinking one conical, one knife and MAYBE one chisel tip. https://hakkousa.com/products/soldering/soldering-tips.html?handpiece=103 400 degrees C on all of them, though being newer to the craft, I'm tempted to start with 350 until I get fast. Or maybe the finer tip (like the...

I went for the micro handle, only because I like how the tip tapers down in close up photos, and I got the shaky hands. Figured this way, it limits the harm I can do. Hahaha. Also this way, we'll have collectively have tried both handles. I'll let you know how it works out... Now I just gotta...

So this means I, I mean Model Robot, can skip the edge connector option for getting the board fabbed, yes?

I'm one of those possibility over probability types. Haha.

Oh, nice. I guess the only advantage of my approach would be slower dissipation, but I'm sure they've accounted for that in the design if they're saying it's safe for "circuit boards". They coulda just added "and integrated circuits" and called it a day, but I suppose an unpopulated circuit...

Model Robot thanks you both for the answer. Just looked up circuit board burn-in... sounds brutal.

Model Robot wanted me to ask a question:

Hi all, As I plan out my custom SE/30 build, I wanted to ask y'all if true stereo sound is possible on the SE/30. I'm asking because if it is, I'm going to order 2 matching speakers. If it's not possible, Imma do the stock single speaker setup. Thanks!! - Katrina

Hi all! I'm looking at ultrasonic cleaners and can't seem to find one that is explicitely listed as ESD. The closest I found is a product that claims to be safe for circuit boards, but their photo doesn't show any boards with soldered on chips or other components I have not yet mastered...

The accelerator rides on the 68000 pins, piggyback like. Thing is, the clip holding it there is yellow olllld plastic. Eep! Hahaha. RN I'm about to 3D print an SR44 to PX21 adapter, because one of the solutions is change the firmware battery. Couldn't hurt!
