    Broken legs on a Lisa keyboard key cap - 3d printed replacement

    Good idea. Also, for the record, I am terrible at modeling, so if anyone wants to clean it up / improve it, I welcome that!

    Unable to get recapped Performa 550 to power on

    Are you sure the ADB keyboard is good? I believe you can short pin the PWR pin to ground to get it to boot without a working ADB keyboard with power button (http://www.interfacebus.com/ADB_Pinout.html). Also, it's usually not needed after a recap, but I've had some 550, Color Classic, MacTVs...

    SCSI emulator for Mac Plus with '030 accelerator?

    I have a Mac Plus with a 20MHz 030 accelerator and it works fine with my BlueSCSI. Different accelerator - it's a Total Systems Gemini board. I use the SCSI from the accelerator, as it is faster than the on-board SCSI on the Plus.

    Tech by Androda Products

    I have replacement Portable batteries I've been testing. One is a 6V lead acid battery inside. One is a LiPo 6v battery. And the final is simply a board with the supercapacitors installed to let it run without an actual battery while plugged in. I do not have the original charger, so I've...

    6100/66 DOS Compatible

    Might have to pick up this type of cooler for mine. The heat was pretty crazy when I ran mine briefly to set up Windows on it. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Broken legs on a Lisa keyboard key cap - 3d printed replacement

    So, I had picked up a Lisa 2/10 a while back. and while removing the key caps for cleaning, the kegs on the Caps Lock key broke. I tried various methods to re-attach the existing legs, but was unsuccessful at getting them attached, at the correct height, and the correct angle. I even tried...

    Or, if anyone has one that is in bad shape I'll buy the controller chip off of you!

    Anyone willing to trade AppleDesign keyboards?

    I have 3 AppleDesign keyboards in good condition, fully functional, but they do not have the ALPS controller needed to be used in this project: https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/design68-a-65-replacement-keyboard-using-appledesign-controllers.2952/ Anyone have an abundance and have the "Made...

    BlueSCSI V2 to Color Classic/Later Power Macintosh 3.5 Drive

    Looks nice. That's a lot of supports to have that locking tab. I would guess with the weight of the BlueSCSI, the friction alone would hold. Would it make more sense to get rid of the locking tab and cut down on 90% of the supports?

    Design68: A 65% replacement keyboard using AppleDesign controllers

    Yeah, the LEDs were installed backwards. As for the 341-0875-A, I was mistaken. I had taken it the internal board out of an old Apple Keyboard II (M0487) not the AppleDesign. I've been trying to find more controllers and unfortunately, I only had a single keyboard with 3 screws, made in...

    Design68: A 65% replacement keyboard using AppleDesign controllers

    Possibly. I didn't actually realize the LEDs were polarized. So It is very possible I did it wrong. I'll be sure to get the correct polarity on my second board. I tried 2.54mm spacing but on my ANSI board they are closer to 2mm spacing, so my 90 connectors didn't work (a 4 pin connector...

    Design68: A 65% replacement keyboard using AppleDesign controllers

    Thanks for the response and for building out this PCB! I used the ANSI layout. I was waiting on key caps to come in before posting pictures, but ended up harvesting the caps from a Kechron K2 I had. It looks good. I'm not sure if I used the wrong LEDs, but I don't get any of the LEDs to...

    Design68: A 65% replacement keyboard using AppleDesign controllers

    OK, So I answered my own questions. First, I made a massive mistake soldering on the key switches without realizing they need to go on AFTER the red rubber later and the top plate (the part with the stabilizers). So desoldering all those switches was fun! The correct order of assembly, for...

    Design68: A 65% replacement keyboard using AppleDesign controllers

    @demik , I got my PCBs in today. I am trying to re-use the ADB cable from my original keyboard. I'm not too familiar with the pin markings for the cable (G V A P E). The wires in my cable are black, white, red, green, and blue. Any help on which goes to which? Or if you know which pin on...

    Macintosh Portable M5120 Display issue

    I replaced it with one of @Androda 's boards. It was working. I put it up for a bit and now it only boots a fraction of the boot chime. Battery voltage is fine...

    Macintosh Portable M5120 Display issue

    I might be in the market for a Portable logic board. Mine was originally working fine, but now refuses to boot past a partial boot chime. Haven't had a chance to dig in to figure out what might be going on, but I had a decent amount of damage around the hybrid board and I repaired a few traces...

    Design68: A 65% replacement keyboard using AppleDesign controllers

    I do as well, however: 1. I don't want to put the wear and tear on that keyboard 2. That arrow key layout! I'm going to be trying to put one of these together. Only have one keyboard with the correct ANSI chip, but will be a fun project. Steal some switches from my son and will be nice to...

    Reason Lisa Mouse is So Expensive?

    I have a chance to pick up a Lisa Mouse that was originally with the Lisa 2 I picked up earlier this year. I was looking on eBay and the prices are crazy. I am currently using one of my Mac Plus mice and it works fine, but I really would like to have the original keyboard and mouse. Is the...
