Decided to follow along on my 040 IIci: Been a professional programmer for 17 years, starting out with C and C++, but coding for system 6/7 was a bit before my time.

Alright, I'm calling this one "done", unless I ever find something cool to put in the external 3.5" bay...maybe a zip drive or an internal SCSI LS120 would be really neat. Everything has been recapped, repaired, and de-yellowed. I used a micro SD extension cable to mount the BlueSCSI's SD card...

Quite well. I got the pads all cleaned up, verified continuity on just about everything in the capacitor goo area, repaired two broken traces (my first time doing that), and replaced the caps and the 4 previously-mentioned ICs: At first it didn't chime or '?'. After some discussion on...

I used a 21" Trinitron CRT monitor throughout college...can't remember the exact model, but it was fantastic. Well, until it was time to move it anyways...weighed close to 80lbs. Thankfully, most of the LAN parties were at my place because I was also rocking this all-steel, full-tower case at...

Finally just finished that download...I knew this 18TB drive would come in handy :)

Hooo boy, this thread doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies. I won this, mostly for the cable and video adapter. Besides the invoice I received immediately after the auction, I haven't received a separate shipping invoice as I was told to expect in at least two weeks (that was almost 5 weeks...

Haven't heard it mentioned yet...are we planning on keeping the original's ability to basically plug the mac into it and turn both the fan and computer on with a single, easily-accessible switch? Does using a 12VDC fan with an external power supply complicate that? I guess the power supply...

I like it, though I believe "fanny" is slang for something else entirely in the UK, Australia, NZ... :whistle:

Pretty sure you've got the airflow backwards in your diagram. It sucks air out of the computer, not blows it in. That being the case, I think a normal blower fan like the original would be best (not sure how well those radial blower fans work in "reverse"). 115V AC like the original would...

The 5.25" floppies appear to be FOG library disks:

Wife and I went to an estate sale today and found a lot of neat 80's computing promotional materials and catalogs, books, and TRS-80 and Osborne software. I initially saw the Osborne and CP/M books in the bedroom (a little light bedtime reading?) and grabbed them because I own a couple...

Oooooh...gonna have to download that.

Tons of disk images available at the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/softwarelibrary_apple https://archive.org/details/softwarelibrary_apple_games Sometimes you need to click "SHOW ALL" under the "DOWNLOAD OPTIONS" section for a particular item to see the download links for the...

Dunno...I'm scared to try it :)

This thing sounds like an answer to a question nobody asked :)

Was it uncommon for these devices to have a female ADB input on them to chain other devices on like keyboards usually have? This joystick has a passthrough...

Ya, I thought that was weird too. So far, the only "practical" use I've seen someone use this for is as a short extension when the ADB connector for their device physically interfered with the port they were trying to plug it into :confused:

Ah, I see that's the infamous EGRET. Hope it's ok...

I think you're talking about the Dr. Bott MoniSwitch: https://lowendmac.com/1998/moniswitch-adb-a-kvm-for-adb-macs/ Apparently you could still have to reset the ADB bus sometimes if you moved the mouse too soon after switching.

Got it disassembled and made some progress today. I gotta say, it was pretty slick removing one screw, pulling a couple tabs, and just lifting that whole middle section, drives, PSU, and all, straight off: I recapped both PSUs, and then turned my attention to the rather fishy smelling logic...
