Vintage Apple hardware is synonymous with repair work. Ask anyone who collects or tinkers with vintage Apple and they WILL regale what machines needed exactly what repairs. Whether it was a recap, trace repair, battery bomb or sound chip all of these repairs are made 10x easier with the proper...

I found a couple sources that were cost effective in the end, the drive to fill my Q950 with 256mb was the catalyst haha 16 darn sticks at ebay prices? heck no! this route was about $4 per 16mb stick

I'm glad you caught on, I'd have felt awful for breaking your heart ;)

the last VRAM project was killed quickly by an individual buying the entire inventory available... anywhere, then doubling the price for users that wanted some. So while our little group that created THAT project and this new one are still tinkering with the designs we'd rather avoid having that...

IT JUST WORKS!

This is pretty nifty! Applicable to q800 as well? (It's only 40 apples less than 840). Also @alxlab and I have been working on something similar with adding another 4mb of onboard ram to LC575, see the attached photo below!

Great! Glad we could help. Ez pz lemon squeezy

IBM is really what got me into soldering, conversions and tinkering with custom hardware. I think @SharktasticA and myself can contribute some very good resources in regards to this. I know I'm looking forward to the article being prepared regarding lexmark/Apple crossover, a finite moment of...

Can I see a photo of the logic board please, try and focus on some of the cap rework

@martinsmartin grab my os8 build here: https://mega.nz/file/jGIRRYrC#m8VXA_PDx1oPxz_v-S1MiQy4ldv6Ipp2L31utIVV8xY If that doesn't work I honestly think the bluepill needs to be re-flashed or replaced. In which case hop on the retroscsi discord support channel and we'll sort you out REAL TIME.

Powered only by SCSI cable and totally legit signatures!

I have it running on my 6100 just fine, make sure you've zapped your pram when installing a new drive and OS. Try another OS as well that's more PPC oriented like 8.1 perhaps. Barring all that I can send you my image.

this blows

One of the unfortunate restrictions with PCB design (in regards to vintage computers) is the 1.2mm and 1.6mm thickness sizing standard. Se30 Simm slots are ~1.26mm and after 30+ years the clips themselves are looser. On some of my reproduction ram sticks I had to drag solder to ensure...

I'm curious what the machine will do if the single image is given a LUN id of 6 or 7. "HD16_512.hda" will it ignore the previous unassigned LUN? *Dreads hauling out next cube, monitor from closet*

!WARNING! The following machine is known to cause feelings of jealousy and rage !WARNING! I had the fortunate chance to meet a local enthusiast, user @LongAlphabet recently whom after years of owning a few 68k machines finally got the time to revisit the poor buggers he had tucked away. They...

I haven't revisited the LUN assignment issue with Next computers since my initial setup. I found it to be just an annoyance at startup and once the extra "ghost drives" were dismissed I could use the machine as expected. Out of curiosity what method did you use to copy the winworld image onto...

Perfection

Wowee kazowee! Gadzooks! You did a good job on this one, I'm proud of you son :) Good potato 🥔
