Anyone source an LED for their Quadra 700's hard disk drive activity light? I'm looking for something period appropriate. I *think* it's supposed to be an amber color? I also need/want one for my IIci... Other sites seem to indicate that Apple used red LEDs for HHD activity in early SEs but...

CommSlot I and II compatible modems are making use of the common modem port serial lines they share on the connector. For Ethernet they are very different data buses on the connector, CommSlot I has an 030 ”PDS” bus while CommSlot II has a PCI bus. Seems like that would be pretty hard to have a...

I agree on your comment about increased network switch compatibility of being 10/100 Ethernet regardless of any speed improvement over 10Mb/s half duplex Ethernet. ...but "150k per second"? Kb/s or or KB/s? 150Kb/s is slower than local talk (230Kb/s), 150KB/s (1200Kb/s) is 1.2Mb/s, well below...

Same!

Bought a "daystar digital 105013-109 33 Mhz Card 01-FC040-001" off eBay, this is a 68040 PDS L2 cache, right?

https://bluescsi.com/docs/Usage Something like this should work, emulating a CD-ROM on SCSI ID 3: CD30_Apple_Legacy_Recovery.iso Of note they list that Apple Legacy Software Recovery CD iso on Macintosh Garden in their doc on BlueSCSI images: https://bluescsi.com/docs/BlueSCSI-Images

😟 I'm not sure if something like that would work. My guess is your 7.1 floppies are the upgrade version that work with Macs released before 7.1 came out. You could overwrite the floppies if you have a way of doing that. Another old Mac, modern machine with floppy drive. I haven't really tried...

What are you using for your System 7.1 install source? I ask as 7.1 requires "System Enablers" to work on many systems (including the PB 165c) I would expect you'd see that error if you are using a 7.1 install source (floppies? images?) that includes a System Enabler for another model Mac. Neat...

It looks like a 3rd party Apple TV Tuner card: https://apple.fandom.com/wiki/Apple_TV_Tuner_Card I had no idea that was a thing. I wonder if it accommodated some special/regional analog TV standard that Apple did not with their official cards?

Apparently NeXT machines had proprietary displays that included speakers, sound in/out, and the keyboard connection (ADB) for the computer. The Sound Box along with a Y cable let you use "standard" rebadged or 3rd party displays. Good explanation here:

Great write up, always enjoy reading about hard fought victories like this!

The cut corner PCB made me think of the MacSense E-440 NuBus Ethernet card Macsense-440-NuBus-Network-Adapter but the component layout is very different...

I'm beginning to suspect this one might not be legit either...

Apple has long held an iron grip on the materials and tools required to repair their devices but starting today I'm doing my small part to level the playing field by introducing a PowerBook Duo Battery Contact Alignment Tool rental service! Never again wonder if your battery contacts have...

Alien = First movie to give me nightmares after watching on VHS (in ~1988 at age 11). The gritty realism made it connect at a level very different level from the Star Trek world I had grown to love, which didn’t go ”there”. Aliens = OMG WTF was that! James Cameron’s epic bowled me and friends...

Glad to help. Awesome is right!

Tested with my multimeter, it is center positive.

I just tried my BlueSCSI v2 external DB-25 with my Performa 6360 and it worked fine. Absolutely could be another issue uncovered by the above mentioned troubleshooting steps but are you sure you have v2? I only ask because I was never able to get my BlueSCSI v1 external DB-25 to work with that...

I wonder if those limits only apply when using the original spec IIci power supply and if you have a newer, higher rated one you might have more power that the Nubus slots could use. The same power supply form factor was used in the IIcx, IIci, IIvx, Q700, C/Q650 and PM7100 with the later ones...
