    BlueSCSI on Macintosh Portable

    Heres some speed test results before sleep and after using Speedometer 3.23 (not sure what units those numbers are in but quite a difference): 1.252 before sleep. 0.551 after sleep. So after sleep the CPU is running at about 50%

    I have a 6V 5Ah Lead Acid: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MYL8OQU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Got some copper sheet and made a 3d printed repro :) I get 7 hours just running the After Dark screensaver all day as a test. And thats skipping through all of the battery...

    BlueSCSI on Macintosh Portable

    My guess is the CPU glue oscillator is fine since everything works perfectly until it sleeps and then wakes up. Ive tested the charging/discarge and alert dialogs that pop up as the battery gets low and runs on reserve power all the way to the "goodbye" message. I get about 7 hours of runtime on...

    BlueSCSI on Macintosh Portable

    Good to know. Ok I’ll check it. I’ll have to take the machine apart again when I have time. I'm looking at the schematics and see that Q11 goes to Sys_Pwr on U15H. What is that? It's hard to tell which chip it is on the board. I guess it is the VIA.

    Any IICX chip level repair experts? I've got a clock but RESET / ARST is stuck high

    yeah, I checked the oscillators Y1, Y2, Y3, And Y4 and click on the 68030, 6882, UF11, UG11 and UG13. I will check the gluechip. Not sure what the mdu, rbv, and e clock are. Been hunting down and patching broken traces as well. I found a couple more by the scsi chip and external scsi port but...

    BlueSCSI on Macintosh Portable

    Also I tried multiple systems. I booted off of a bare bones System 6.0.8 install disk and it still does it. So I need someone with a third party hybrid board (mine is @SuperSVGA’s) to confirm it is not happening so I know it is isolated to my board only. I could try @Androda’s hybrid board as...

    BlueSCSI on Macintosh Portable

    OK yeah mine is 100% consistent and very noticeable. I have the talking moose extension on and after wake up he sounds like a slow talking demon from hell 😂 I’m wondering (again) if it could be related to the hybrid board I had to replace since it’s power manager related. 🤷‍♂️ if it is then...

    Any IICX chip level repair experts? I've got a clock but RESET / ARST is stuck high

    I realized that lol 🤦‍♂️ I made the mistake of trusting ChatGPT out of laziness instead of confirming. From 68030 reference. it’s seems to vary sometimes no? Anyway, now that I know it’s not RESET, I need to figure out what the key areas are to check with the scope. Im getting nothing front he...

    Permanent til restart. sleep, wake, cpu slow til restart. I thought it was isolated to system 6 but it was a false alarm same thing happens in 7.5.3.

    BlueSCSI on Macintosh Portable

    Found another sleep / wake issue. After waking, the cpu speed is much slower. before sleep cpu test from apple diagnostics reports cpu speed is 1.38 times faster than a Mac plus. After sleep / wake it reports cpu speed is 1.7 time slower than a max plus. I first noticed everything seemed...

    BlueSCSI on Macintosh Portable

    Yeah. For now I just ran a small awg wire into the pin and plugged it into the floppy drive but I’ll probably make a new flat cable so I don’t muck with the original.

    Any IICX chip level repair experts? I've got a clock but RESET / ARST is stuck high

    Thanks, yes ive been pouring over the schematic. ARST is high.. I have a clock and thats about it. I fixed a bunch of broken traces so far and have re-capped the whole board. I thought ARST is active hight (since there's a line over the top) when its high the 68030 will be in reset correct? I...

    Any IICX chip level repair experts? I've got a clock but RESET / ARST is stuck high

    Finally revisiting this.. Which chick are you referring to exactly. I see no Sony chips they are all apple branded. Do you mean the Left and Right audio chips at UA15 and UB15 ? or do you mean UD14?

    That workaround “fix” solved the issue. I ran a jumper from pin 11 of the floppy cable to +5 on the BlueSCSI and now it wakes from sleep and drive activity works immediately. Not the best solution but it works!

    BlueSCSI on Macintosh Portable

    It Looks like there's a pin on the floppy cable the provides +5v on wake up. If that would work without a current overload, I could make an adapter that the cable plugs into and then the adapter could plug into the floppy and supply +5 to the connector on the BlueSCSI.

    BlueSCSI on Macintosh Portable

    What about tapping power from the board somewhere over to the BlueSCSI so power gets supplied to the BlueSCSI on wake up instead of hard drive spin up? I think that would fix it but I am not sure where the best place would be on the board to get the 5V from.

    Right I saw what I could from the photo. My guess is that would be the same as my setup.

    No luck here with a 10nf cap :( I noticed though a lot of the time after waking from sleep the BlueSCSI powers up AND the activity LED on on the main board flashes as well as the activity led on the pi pico once or twice and then it freezes. Heres the cap I tacked on to try it:

    That’s sounds the same as ours then. Only difference is my power is supplied through the scsi cable

    Thanks, I edited the last reply to you. Was wondering how you went about direct power to your BlueSCSI... did you tap directly into the battery? you have constant power to it even when you shut down?
