It's not a crime to think about yourself, from time to time. It's OK to focus on what you want to do, even if what you want to do is nothing much at all. Relax, kick back and enjoy your life - we're only here once, so make the most of the time you have.

The dual 7457 card finally got here - time to try it out!

@MacEffects has the license, as with the Macintosh SE Reloaded, for board sales in the continental US - not sure of the timeline of production on their side though. If it's a while, i can do a small board run, with SMD pre-assembly done on the rear (barring the inductors)

I concur, inverted looks better on the PCB :)

If you want to scan that in at 1200dpi, i'll happily create a sprint file for you :)

In the UK - i buy this, in 5 litre bottles: https://www.allendale-ultrasonics.co.uk/flux-remover-and-pcb-ultrasonic-cleaner-solution-5-litre-cleaning-fluid Works well enough - although it can struggle with Amtech 559 flux.

@fogWraith - this be your domain :)

Stickied! :)

Oooh nice find - very clean! They've done there what Commodore did with the Amiga 500's later on in their life. The 500+ was available, but there was still demand for the 500's, so they used 500+ boards, partly unpopulated. That board could easily be populated with more memory to bring it up to...

@Bolle may have an idea about this :)

@jgrip is the man in question who nabbed an SE Brainstorm and decapped and imaged it :)

Johan Grip has imaged the die already - just needs to be decoded.

Specifically, i'm trying to run Macintosh ROM's through it. While it can decode snippets of functions - it dumps a lot of 'data' it thinks - it can't determine what's code and what's not. Also, the references, while they line up, seem to be scattered around, and the visual graph looks like...

@Mark Fixes Stuff - would you be interested in a spool or two? :)

Problem with that is that you'd need to solder a castellated PCB in place as the pads are SMD. That's a bit fiddly to say the least.

Well, it chimes....then does nothing then chimes...and then chimes...and chimes again :D I've just ordered a recap kit and a few BU406's to re-do the analogue board. I'll reflow all the solder joints while i'm at it.

@Mac84 created the logo - although @Branchus is responsible for the theme - should be easy enough to cobble something together, with the assets - it's a good idea - perhaps a 1-bit version in 512x342 for classic mac's, too :)

I too would be very interested to learn the difference. The main ASIC is identical, it's just the Clock/PLL circuitry that there may be differences - perhaps we could each take some images of the boards to see what these differences might be?
