    LC 575 Video issue

    Has the analog board and logic board been recapped? I had similar with a color classic recently but was alleviated with new caps and adjustment. Outside of that I'd suspect something was off with the actual adjustment for the R G B guns via Analog board

    Joe's Mac Racks

    We just got into our new house and I once again have my own office space which won't be taken over by newborn babies or toddlers. I wanted to have some of my favorite machines here as well as my favorite Macs, worse yet there's still 12 compact macs in the garage, some quadras and other PC's.

    Color Classic Internal SCSI Cable issues

    I can manage all that JUST need to source a new SCSI chip. I already have the oscons in stock for 575. Pretty certain I have SCSI cables appropriate to splice as well. Again, let me get moved into the new house and my lab setup again, were close to eachother so shipping isn't overly expensive.

    Color Classic Internal SCSI Cable issues

    The 575 and 520 I believe use the same chip (don't quote me) all my items are packed away. I'm based out of Victoria if it helps to gauge cost for shipping. I'm in the middle of moving so there's a small que of customers waiting

    Less chips means less variation. 2 chips is less than 4 which is exactly half. 50% less chance of variation between 2 chips which results in 50% better odds of positive results per stick. Compared with the old design, The New SMC VRAM has faster access times & LED's. When aircraft ✈️ fly they...

    Interware VDR-2A - SE/30

    I'm just using the standard Amazon converter without jumpers which auto configures to 640 or (I believe 1024) depending on machine. I don't know if the interware is capable of more 640. If/when I get a programmer I'm happy to dump the ROM for posterity.

    Color Classic No Boot

    I can honestly say that nothing jumps out at me, I was thinking about this since your message today and I remembered the TDA4605 chip. BUT I see in your above comment that you had replaced this already? I know I've had issues with it in the past. I see some small bodges, are these working as...

    "Budget" conscious Trinocular Microscope & Fume Extraction

    Just like Eventually I'd rather have a similar unit combined with these. I know the small hakko extractor here: Hakko didn't have nearly enough draw for me, too much would escape the vicinity of the board. Some folks are fine with breathing heavy metals and licking the lead of window blinds but...
