For those interested, ive posted version2.1 prototype files in recources Looking forward to see your results 👍 Due to lack of cable/connectors, and costly aspect to that, ive figured out a way to feed the cables&connectors through the backshield decently. That until ive sourced the parts to...

Final 2.1 prototype files here to try out. Any remarks, possible improvements please do let me know.

@Trash80toG4 is experimenting with projectors too…. may also be interresting….👍

Interresting ….🙈

Thanks, shall start a search on that….👍

That I understand, ……but still in need for cables & connectors if going this way.

Thanks for your awnser, …..confirms my suspicion🙈 That exercise was kind off useless then.

@Trash80toG4 …. now the exact position is known for each connector…..how to move forward? Where can I find these extension cables to fit? Or must these be soldered up from loose components/old cables? Anyone? Sources? Any input is welcome! 🍀

Yesterday evening I finished the final version for the cableshield layout! Next reprinted to fit……. and I am satisfied now 🛠 With the previous version, the left two holes on the bottomshield where only off by 0,2 mm, and pushing it in did cause it to get stuck/bend a little. Moved also the...

I just checked with Blue SCSI, and indeed the Quadra/LC 630 board is not on the list. Next to IDE it does have SCSI 25-50 pins. This is not an iMac. So I may give it a try 😇

Yes, because of that option……perhaps Blue SCSI can do that also - in time-? using diskjockey? from onegeekarmy I have to kidnap my wifes imac for that to try out….. (edit it does ISO files)

@Trash80toG4 100% correct, slightly different CD-rom connector/harness mount …I suspect. In the end its just an extension cable for the CD rom. This should work, maybe obsolete also. IDE and the blue SCSI may replace fdd and CD-rom in the end. Thought it may come in handy some day. 🍀

@Trash80toG4 ….no mystery cables left👍 There is just one 2x4 flatband - audio CD- that needed connection. As the planned connector seems hard to get, its now aimed to be combined in the second 50 pin connector.

Getting there! Switch and cable positions are almost perfect! A converted sfx could also be suitable as psu. 🍀

No confusion,…😇 ……. there are two 50 pin connectors now. One is split for two connectors. FDD and CD sound.(i believe) Video is on the other side of the board. All go to up the logic board connector. Just trying to get these cables organized decently….😇

@mg.man …….. instead of adding an extra connector. Use one 50pin connector for both. Just cutout the two slot with an exacto knife….and glue one piece back in to block the space slot on the other side. How about that? 🍀👍🍀

Well, thats also an option….not my first choice. 🍀There is still time to find a decent repetative way🍀

@mg.man ,…… good thinking, but as it is now, larger than 2x4 physically wont fit. Thats why. Printing a connector holder is actually pretty straight forward. 🍀

Ok great! So mpeg 1 is the only format supported by system 7/8 - hard/software? Or is there a way to update this up to some more modern standard? Maybe borrowing a card from a powermac?🙈 (guess not) Info on those connectors? ……. These are just male bandcable connectors with screw lugs, so you...

Right! Thanks ….that was usefull! Found some info on that….👍 Just wondering …..Is this a must have item ? SCSI HDD/FDD go down to the baseplate for possible future connections. Dont need it for now, but better to have it available for quick connect floppy/CD? I am in need for some 50pin band...
