    Anyone have experience with the ATTiny RTC Module?

    Well the good news is this was a battery bombed board so there is no PRAM battery (or even battery holder at this point lol). I definitely had the chip in the right orientation but any time it's inserted I get no SCSI. Replace it with a real chip and I have SCSI again. Guess I'll need to...

    Anyone have experience with the ATTiny RTC Module?

    Well I left it in there because the only image I can find of a ATTiny installed on a SE/30 board still has the oscillator in place next to the RTC I could try removing it I guess.

    Anyone have experience with the ATTiny RTC Module?

    Well I put it in as it would seem to be indicated and it doesn't work :( If it's in the SE30 stops booting from SCSI If I put the real chip back in it boots from SCSI just fine. I know it doesn't need the oscillator to function but would leaving the oscillator in place stop the new replacement...

    "Budget" conscious Trinocular Microscope & Fume Extraction

    Just to let people know -- AliExpress seems to have added various "skus" to this listing and only some of them include a camera along with the trinocular microscope and no they do not make this obvious. I made the mistake of ordering based of the default selection when you click the link in the...
