The Faraday FE2010A is actually the chipset. Your CPU is actually that Sony-branded chip to the left of the Faraday chip in the photo. Good news: it’s actually a second-sourced NEC V20! Thought you would like to know so that when you get this fixed, if you wanted to use the XT-IDE Universal...

My name is Justin D. Morgan. host of Computerized Start™ on YouTube, and I am humbly submitting consideration to join the board of TinkerDifferent. YouTube is all about the numbers game. And while many YouTubers would be looking at their peer channels seeing that they've managed higher...

I have two Macintosh SE computers, both have Sony CR-44 power supplies. I have recapped one of these supplies with a kit from Console5. Both power supplies are exhibiting the same issue: the 12V output is measuring nearly 12.8V, which is definitely out of spec and is causing artifacts on the...

Forget fancy Photoshop trickery to pull it off, I would like to show a 512x384 image full-screen on my Macintosh SE for video thumbnail creation. What is the best way to pull this off? Rounded corners are OK, but I don't want the pesky menu bar or mouse cursor getting in the way. I'm open to...

Jay at The House of Moth has the only hardware I have that might identify what I just purchased actually is… so I can’t run TattleTech on it.

I usually like knowing what I am buying before using "Buy It Now" on eBay... but when you see an E-Machines video card pop-up on eBay what will cost you $29 shipped (OK, $29.01), and there's a good chance that card is QuickDraw accelerated, then you just buy it now and figure out what it is...

If you're ever in my office perusing my bookshelf of computer references, there is one odd title you will run across: It is "Scooter Computer & Mr. Chips: The Computer in the Candy Store" by Leslie McGuire. And while it is not my childhood copy of the book, it's there for a reason: one of my...

Which, to start us off with the content, I have done two live streams so far on my Franklin Ace clones. Computerized Start™: It's Apple ][ July; Send In The Clones! Inspecting My Franklin Ace 1000, 500! Computerized Start™ Live: Repairing the Franklin Ace 1000's Keyboard for Apple ][ July!

Kansas Fest happens in July, and what better lead-up to that event is there than a Month to celebrate the Apple ][, including it's clones and related cousins (the Apple I and the Apple ///) on social media? I can't think of a better way, either! So let's figuratively blow-up social media and...

Dude, I know you've struggled to get to this point, but finally, your 9600 can score some impressive benchmark numbers! Congrats!

I just want to be able to use a mass storage device with my Amiga 1000... so when I saw this C-Ltd. SCSI-1000 appear on eBay, I bought it now. Maybe I should have done some research first. Maybe I should have spent twice as much and just bought a Parceiro (assuming you can get them still). But...

And according to 68kMLA at https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/getting-1152x870-on-a-650-with-a-non-apple-multiple-sync-monitor.40039/: Great, the OP here only specified “early Apple NuBus video cards” here without naming them. But I suspected that some existed. Which is why I wanted to...

The Higher Intellect Vintage Wiki states that the IIci shares video chips with the IIsi, and this may need a sync on green monitor: https://wiki.preterhuman.net/Macintosh_IIci Chris Xodium’s Retro Haus on YouTube didn’t want to go out to his garage to get his sync on green monitor to test his...

Turns out I have several and didn’t realize it because I thought they were too new. I had grabbed some Dell LCD monitors they were scraping at work and their data sheets say they do sync on green. If my IIci power supply wasn’t currently disassembled for re-capping, I would put it to the test...

Which Dell monitor is that (assuming you're not using some sort of adapter to separate the sync from the green)?

Based on information that I found online, the on-board video on the Macintosh IIci and Macintosh IIsi only support “sync on green” mode, which is a problem if you don’t have a monitor/scaler or other video device which supports this mode. Well, I have a IIci, but nothing old enough to do sync...

In my IIci power supply, the mystery chip is simply labeled “0600” with a date code of “9011J”. There’s no manufacturers name or mark on the chip.

I have a Macintosh IIci with an Astec Power Supply. During my last livestream, someone asked me if the power supply had the "infamous" daughter board... to which I had to answer yes. I think they mentioned it was due to the op amp on the board... or was it an optoisolator? I was trying to solder...
