Quite some time ago I picked up an HP 16702B logic analyzer frame, and have used it for a variety of projects. But all this time, it has had one very annoying fault: the built-in display was not working. That's why it was priced so low, the used equipment wholesaler thought it was irreparably...

Recently I picked up a PowerBook 100 for cheap because it lacked the CPU card. Fortune favored me in that the CPU card was available from a seller in Tunisia and not labeled for the 100 - they had it listed by part number. Starting up the old machine resulted in the sad mac code: 0000000E...

Flex cables in the Atari Portfolio (hinge), PowerBooks (display, SCSI), and many other systems are wearing out, cracking, and becoming unusable. I'm looking for dead flex cables to recreate, basically. There's no guarantee that all possible designs can be recreated, given connector...

In keeping with my latest string of recreations, here's another one. I am working on recreating the 'hybrid module' from the non-backlit macintosh portable because these tend to die and do stupid things thanks to capacitor fluid damage or the coating cracking off of the high precision...

The original BlueSCSI project is a fork of ArdSCSIno, with some code bug fixes to improve compatibility with later Mac OS versions. Mac OS 9.2 can be booted on a G3 using BlueSCSI, which is pretty cool if you ask me. This thread is for focusing on BlueSCSI variants which are available to use /...

Hello everyone, As we all know, flex cables for a variety devices are starting to get a little bit creaky and in many cases have cracked. Great examples of these are display cables for the Macintosh Backlit Portable, PowerBooks, and the eMate 300 (though in the eMate's case it's because of a...

In the dark theme, it's quite hard to tell which threads you haven't read. The top one in this picture is unread. Would be easier to see if highlighted with blue dots, like on the overall forum view.

Thinking out loud here, but under the Resources section there's only 'example category' currently. Would these make sense as resource categories? * Capacitor Guides (for images with location and value of capacitors on boards) * Teardown Images * Schematic PDFs * Software It's quite nice having...
