I like that I'm hard pressed to lose the stripper on the new tool. Not sure my stripper's still inside the handle, gotta find it. :p

My CrapShack tool is the silver one in that link with the stripper stored in the handle. Pretty sure it's somewhere around here, but I much prefer the one piece stripper/wrap/unwrap tool. edit: probably can't get to the soldering until MON/TUE off. Inward riser arrived, the three cards will be...

AFAIK, wire wrap was used and may still be used in the Aviation Industry, it's far more robust and reliable than soldered PCBs. https://www.nutsvolts.com/magazine/article/wire_wrap_is_alive_and_well

LOL! :ROFLMAO: When you've got wire wrap headers for the tentacle interconnect . . . what else you gonna do? Old guys rule! ;)

Meanwhile, back o the pickle plantation:

Cool, might VRAM loadout be ROM limited to the 2MB or were the higher capacity chips unavailable at release and so not hobbled in ROM. Apple woudd not likely have missed that opportunity to hamstring a mid-range offering. Might they have done so in order to prevent stacking of ICs? I put little...

Hijacked? :ROFLMAO: No way, this is great! ;)

:eek: WTH? No clue here, but it's fun to tag along for the ride.

Got no money for that, on a retirement budget, though still working full time. 3D CAD and PCB Design Tools are at the top of the list when i have more time. Is that model available under license? Chopping parts out by hand would be one thing, but doing it with modifications to the print...

Don't recall which of the many configs I played with last night showed a problem with the mouse freezing. VidCard I've been using is a deader, but ROMs show up just fine. Hooked up an ATI Rage128 with DVD decoder daughtercard. One slot or another (probably E1?) had the mouse/cursor freeze when...

Dunno, I've wrapped this borken test unit project up until I feel the need to bodge connections on one of my three slot PC Risers. Daniël has done so, but not had the ability to test it yet. I'll just tag along after his lead. There's really no utility in attempting to convert CommSlot II to...

Couldn't resist Slot_E1 kluge: Started getting flaky results and now none. Must have broken a connection on the CableMonster which is going into retirement. I think my TwinSlot Riser project has had its schematic adequately confirmed, so I'm back onto that track again. Curiosity satiated. ☺️

LOL! Glad you like it. It's the one machine in original case I have that's got room for the A/B/C Riser if I switch the 6500 board out for 6400. That started back in 2010. All pics went the way of the great pixel robbery, but for the few I'd documented of its previous incarnation with 10" Color...

Love it! I've got a vacuum forming rig set up on a wooden frame dropped into a 5 gallon bucket. Plexi was too thick, but managed one really good one, but not perfect enough for me. Oven heating induced bubbles in the Plex was the problem. To-do on that project is a more conventional heating...

I just watched that Macintosh Plus video in one sitting. Amazing, truly amazing. First thought is to mod the front bezel model to Twiggy/DVD spec. The rear of the case would be modified with an opening for removable panel for customization in lieu of printing one in the bucket. Fitting a custom...

Cool! Very interested in seeing that happen. The CRT curvature of the Apple Macintosh 12" RGB Display for the LC is 9all but?) a dead-on match for the Lisa Bezel. I think it's likely the elephant eared, improved CC that is the 5xx series will turn out to be a match as well. My theory would be...

All four interrupts are tied together on the motherboard for Slot_A and on my test riser for all three configurations. Sot_B1 is implemented on Apple's 6x00 Riser just as I've implemented. Can't imagine any reason for Slot_C1 to behave any differently than that OEM riser's Slot_B1.

Mythical no more . . . . . . after 5 years 1 Month and 22 Days! 🤪 Worked on the first try, thanks to one and all! :)

Finally ready to start soldering jumper wires in the AM! Need to doublecheck everything, was pulling my hair out this afternoon. 🤪

Latest doodling at work. Not complete, but gives a good idea of testing methodology.
