    Apple TechStep Replacement ROMs, cartridges, software, and more!

    Without the carrying case and without manuals too. Outrageous! https://www.ebay.com/itm/173193131954

    Display graphic FULL SCREEN on Mac SE?

    In many ways, Japan has lost its way when it comes to tech. (The horrible weakening of the Yen this year is somewhat a part of that in terms of how investors in the currency market consider Japan's future prospects.) Japan's aversion to taking risks was a benefit to them during the bubble...

    Because MacSD can be overclocked and also benefits from fast SD cards, the speed you get from it is quite impressive. BlueSCSI has improved its performance with every firmware update, and I am now testing the latest June update. MacSD is still faster, but only on 030 and faster Macs which can...

    Actually, YMK made some brackets in the past called Air Boxes. He sent me some samples, actually. I've just not had time to revisit that.

    I fixed the link in my previous post just now. Thanks. I was outside my home at the time. Such things happen quite often when I am on my iPhone. I really like my Macs much better when it comes to that. I can also type out long replies much easier on a keyboard than I can input text on my...

    Or MacSD. I feel it only appropriate to point that out whenever BlueSCSI (a great product, by the way ) is mentioned not only to show that I am unbiased, but also as a nod to YMK, who is the rather brilliant creator of that pretty incredible little device. You may not know this, but MacSD has...

    There is no need for a custom fan bracket in my case because all of my compact Macintosh machines have the standard bracket for the regular boxer fans. Those custom brackets are mainly for machines that have the older model squirrel cage fans.

    Display graphic FULL SCREEN on Mac SE?

    Thanks, I just tried Select All in Canvas 3.5.3, Copy, and then Paste in HyperCard. Sadly, it pastes the graphic in the wrong position, and I have no idea how to center that in HyperCard. But even if I did know how to manually center the pasted image in HyperCard, doing that fiddly work for...

    800k Floppy from hell

    Very sorry for my delayed replied. I've been spending every waking free moment on my SE Reloaded video, but I wanted to make a little time this morning to review your case. You've done a lot. The only similar case I've ever had, doing all that in vain, was a case where a single cleaning of...

    Display graphic FULL SCREEN on Mac SE?

    Here’s an update. I’ve never found any version of Photoshop below version 4.0 (which works on my SE/30 but on my SE ) that displays a graphic at it’s 100% size, full screen, without the menu bar. If you know how to do that, please let me know. The reason why I prefer Photoshop over any other...

    Display graphic FULL SCREEN on Mac SE?

    What app will allow me to display a graphic FULL SCREEN that works on a Mac SE or Plus (4MB of RAM & 68000 CPU)? Graphic Converter 1.7 won't work and neither will JPEGView 3. SuperPaint won't do it either. Same for Deneba Canvas 3.5. I am talking about full screen with NO MENUBAR -- just...

    Logic Board - Macintosh SE Reloaded

    Thank you for that! By the way, I see in your photo that you didn't yet melt the two posts, as is the case on the stock switch mount... That would need to be done, once the switch is installed into the mount, to ensure the switch remains firmly affixed.

    The "feet" you mention are the two little posts that are at the very bottom of the switch holder, and they sink into the PCB to keep the switch holder firm. Those little "feet" do matter, in my experience. Without them, all the pressure of your finger (when pushing the bottom) will be...

    Be sure to solder in those switches and then press on them to see if there is any movement of your 3D printed switch mount. On a stock SE motherboard, there is almost no movement when pressed. When I first soldered my stock switch mounts (removed from a bad stock SE motherboard) into SE...

    "delay"? You received gold-plated sockets, but they were not gold on the DigiKey product photo pages? That's a good thing, right?

    Logic Board - Macintosh SE Reloaded

    So far, none of the chips (not even the short-legged chips I desoldered from the stock SE motherboard) have accidentally popped out of their double-wipe sockets. But I would say that if someone building SE Reloaded really doesn't have any intention of removing the chips from the sockets, they...

    Snooper serial loopback plug

    I purchased this serial cable from Amazon Japan and can confirm wires are the same color scheme as you showed. I guess that means the colors probably are standardized. Note that only one connector on the cable had colors which matched those pin numbers. The other connector has GRN on pin5...

    Logic Board - Macintosh SE Reloaded

    @iPhil64 Very nice gold-plated sockets! Did you buy those individually from Mouser? If you bought them in a kit, I could add a link to that in my BOM as an alternative to the kit I link to right now. I bought the double-wipe socket kit because Kai told me double-wipe makes getting the chips...

    Kai, if someone skilled in 3D could make a single, high-quality tool that can fit all the required resistors, 0.1uF capacitors, inductors AND those axial capacitors too (for SE Reloaded), that would be the lead-bending tool to die for! 🤩

    This 4pc set on AliExpress might cover the axial caps, but frustratingly, all the makers of those lead bending tools do not put exact measurements for buyers to ponder! I therefore cannot determine if the body length of the axial caps will fit, or if the diameter of those axial caps will...
