    Logic Board - Macintosh SE Reloaded

    Greetings fellow SE Reloaded peeps. I've been involved in one of these builds, about 9 hours into things with all going well....except for a couple of small parts that I still need to get [the kit I purchased with sockets, had the wrong size 28-pin connectors...too narrow]...but that part is...

    BlueSCSI Toolbox - NeXT Edition

    @eric You'd certainly have me as a tester! I have both Slabs and Cubes with BlueSCSI's fit into them. If you want or need more, there could be some engaged on the nextcomputers.org forums as well.

    Apple Keyboard M0116 - Complete Teardown Details

    Hi @davewongillies. Thank you for the information! Although there may be misery in the desoldering and re-soldering of all the pins, there will be joy in the knowledge that not only is the rust stopped, but in the case of this first keyboard -- no more outdoorsy nonsense will be contained...

    Disk Jockey v3 for macOS is out!

    I have to say...when I discovered Disk Jockey...my prayers were answered....not only for building Mac images, but images for the beloved Black [NeXT] hardware in my stable. Absolutely amazing stuff. I look forward to the next set of enhancements! @OneGeekArmy Thank you for such a wonderful...

    Anyone know what kind of card this is?

    Hi Anden! Thank you for a point in the right direction and for the information. I did a bit more research on Applied Engineering and their line of accelerator cards. It didn't dawn on me to even consider them, since I associate AE's accelerators with the Apple II, the TransWarp GS really. I...

    Anyone know what kind of card this is?

    Greetings fellow Mac Heads and Vintage computer enthusiasts. I'm undertaking the fun journey of an SE Reloaded build. The SE I purchased was from eBay and listed as 'For Parts'. Thankfully, it wasn't just for parts. When disassembling things and getting into the insides -- I discovered a...

    Using the Sun to restore a yellow Macintosh ☀️

    Retrobright - a far, wide-ranging and interesting topic...with people out there who have differing methods and opinions on how it should be done. JDW put it best, "In the end, what matters is the result YOU get, or in my case, the result I get". With that said, some go for the 'chemical free'...

    As for sites that have NeXT software...there are a number of them out there. Some with demo-only software, others with full-on versions with license details. Be aware that some of these may or may not be available any more. fsck.technology -- https://fsck.technology/software/NeXT/ on...

    Site for NeXTStep software?

    I'm a bit late to the game on this one...but you can do a quick and dirty NFS setup using a Raspberry Pi and OpenMediaVault. I had exactly the same problem, I can download stuff from sites using my modern-day computer, but how do I get it over to a NeXT? Once I figured this one out, things...

    Looks like I've joined the NEXT Club, I Do Have Some Questions Though.

    Taken from another post on the subject of displays... There are a couple of options out there in the wild for using non-period-specific VGA displays [that support SoG] with NeXT hardware. First, from DrakWare - the NeXTBox. With no sound support, it'll let you plug the standard NeXT cable that...

    NeXT cube recap

    Hey @Drake. Definitely a pleasure. WiFi for NeXT won’t work though. 😢 it’s based off the SCSI version produced by Dayna back in 1993. Could be fun though trying to write a WiFi driver. 😁

    Recommended NeXTStation maintenance

    Definitely recap your NeXTstation. There is a comprehensive guide on what's needed to do the job. If you have soldering skills, it can take a couple of hours, but certainly worth it. I just got done recapping a Mono and Mono Turbo slab and a Cube logic board. Happy that they're done. Slab...

    NeXT cube recap

    Greetings. Getting to this REALLY late in the game...but.... I've been using BlueSCSI v2, both internal and external with 4 different NeXT boxes -- 2 Cubes, 2 Slabs [Mono and Mono Turbo]. All four of them have the identical 'drive' setup': HD10_512 NeXT_OS42.hda. [2GB] HD20_512...
