slide into my DMs hot stuff

you misjudge my abilities, I can barely put peanut butter on toast lol

Pretty sure we put an Apple IIE card specific BlueSCSI image up on the GITHUB page, It's the A2Arcade build. Plug a controller in and your off to the races playing Chopper! I designed breakout boards if you need one? wasn't able to resolve the usage of actual FDDs but the joystick port works a...

You may just get your garage back someday!

@warmech I've just started to move over components to the new PCB pictured below. JUST noticing now that the original has resistors added onto the parallel port while the new PCB doesn't include this. I'm wondering what the purpose of these were/are they necessary?

And so begins the slow process of rebuilding an Apple Lisa!

Unrelated comment: I ordered the owon scope pictured but the shop said it was no longer available. I like my owon desktop meter so wanted to match, oh well. Ended up ordering a Hantek with waveform gen. Now I just need to learn MORE on how to appropriately use the damn thing lol

I can suggest two things to lessen chances of failure here. 1. run the video out from the HDI45 (mainboard connector) 2. Use Polymer Organic caps with lower ESR to lessen noise, video signal can become corrupt on other machines depending on speed settings, especially with tantalum.

in regards to the noise, did you scope the rails prior to capping? I know some of our discussion related to overclocking touched on the ESR of certain capacitor types causing instability with Spicy'OClock.

LITERALLY looks just like the movie!

Vectrex is one of consoles that I'd love to own but have never had the opportunity to even see in person. Definitely intuitive for the time

I'm back to Lisa repairs myself this week, I had found the reproduction motherboard and will give it a go. Save me some frustration with trace repairs. I have plenty other machines customers need fixed this week so I welcome a fresh motherboard haha. I actually think I'll hang one of the PCB on...

https://filebin.net/ufxhp2j94qgqa2nr pre-sliced for my Mars 2 pro, it should work on the 3 (couple chitubox versions behind). Ensure you use a tough resin and cure immediately (I use a UV curing box). I've run these off with cheaper resin but the teeth NEED resin with better rigidity.

And now that my extended family has vacated my house I can finally finish the backlog of repairs! 😂 Vintage Mac's are like classic cars, they'll play nice if you do the preventative maintenance.

I can move the entire thread but select posts within are part and parcel. PM or another thread is the next best option. Perhaps Kai has more in his toolset.

thanks for reminding me 😭 worth a shot, I hope someday to find one of those fancy external VGA converter boxes for these machines. Using the tired mega pixel display will undoubtedly someday bring sadness.

Very random circumstances that got me my next gear, they're good at Math! I've never seen an SGI myself let alone other Next machines (outside the two I own).

150 grabbed off ebay for $20! Had a bunch of elementary school photos on it still ahha.

I received this beautiful black slab months ago before my wife and I sold our house and purchased a new home, as such it sat waiting for today. Unfortunately one of the network ports received enough force to shear off it's legs and fly out. Otherwise the machine is in pristine working order...
