Glad you found a more workable solution! Just for fun, here's a screenshot from an actual Mac Plus, scaled up and converted to png:

Maybe we can just all rally to provide as many individual screenshots as we can? After all, it sounds like they are creating each logic board image on the fly from a template of pieces, rather than individual PICTs of each one (the file size for which would add up fast one imagines).

The link doesn't work. Would you mind linking to the page rather than the download?

Maybe CanOpener would work?

Maybe Ken Shirriff (of curiousmarc fame) could be persuaded to reverse engineer it...

Ooh, pretty!

I suspect he is meant to be Hermes! No golf shirt I'm afraid, haha. Image credits: Brainstorm Accelerator User's Guide - SavageTaylor.com Hermes & Dionysus - Museum of Antiquities, via usask.ca (Univ. of Saskatchewan)

Did anything ever happen with this?

For anyone interested, a complete nView for a Mac Classic. I would watch first, as they sent me an offer for ~$30-something (listed at US$55). https://www.ebay.com/itm/255829989948

Just got one of these enclosures for cheap on ebay. Since it has no drive installed, I have my options for what I want to do with it. Thanks for the teardown instructions! Do we know the dipswitch settings for the SCSI ID?

Ah, I didn't even think of that, but you're absolutely right, that would probably be a nightmare to try and recalculate on the fly for every file on the volume. But your workaround seems reasonable, since it wouldn't make any difference to the user, and would be much faster. I'm guessing that...

Would it be possible at some point in the future to modify the size of a single volume image? For instance, I have a disk image I use with Mini vMac that I'd like to enlarge without having to transfer its contents to a new image file.

If your Mac II's batteries needed replacing, they would replace the soldered-in batteries with one of these, so future batteries could be replaced more easily.

This really is a wonderful project that solves so many problems in the vintage Mac community. Someone may have asked before, but are you accepting donations for development?

Have you tried leaving it plugged in for several days before re-testing? It was the better part of a week for mine.

Wonderful news! This really ups the ante being able to make partitions ahead of time in a modern environment without having to fiddle with emulators. Plus, HD SC Setup is fiddly to use even in the best of circumstances...

I know that some later Mac IIs had a footprint for ROM SIMM slots, meaning it's possible to swap out the 4-chip ROMs for a SIMM (like a ROMinator). Unfortunately, my Mac II is one of the earlier ones and does not have that footprint. Wah wah.

Welcome!

One of the boxes I received:

These are from the Macintosh II Repair & Upgrade Secrets. The third screenshot delineates which Mac II has which PSU.
