I'm also aware of random problems with 2-chip and 3-chip SIMMs, but don't have any hard references handy. I've been lucky that I can generally scrounge up other SIMMs until I find something that works reliably.

I ordered this cart full of caps from Mouser yesterday. Two of them were on back order. I got an update today - one is estimated to be available to ship in Febrary and the other next May :-)

Just use light mode - no problem :)

Nice! I know you went through a lot of fiddling to reach this point!

Huh - did not know there were two versions, and pulled the trigger on the cap kit that was linked. I guess I'll see what I've got when I open it up :-)

”New” posters up in the office.

When you call someplace like your bank or credit card company, and the automated system has you say your name, account number, what your issue is, etc. Then when you get to the operator, the first things they ask you are your name, your account number, and what your issue is, etc.

Finally watched the whole thing! :-) A couple thoughts to maybe help clarify some things. Lisa _is_ slow! Two reasons are the CPU is throttled a bit down to 5Mhz on most boards. Not the blazing 8Mhz of the Mac! Also, Mac had the advantage of having a lot of Toolbox code in ROM. Lisa was made...

Looks great!

That’s gonna be fun to watch! I’ll be waiting for the Apple // thread 😀

Where does @Mac84 come down on this? Enquiring minds want to know!
