How's your audio working? I have very bad audio only via the external jack.

Thanks for your answers. I'll try to apply the layer of solder this weekend and see how it goes.

Yes. The clips are the "Type B", and fit fine, but they don't add enough tension, I still need to add the duct tape so the Mac boots.

Hi, I got a ROMinator from a friend that is not working on my SE/30 due to bad contact. A friend printed for me the clips designed by PotatoFi, bu it's not enough. I can only make it work if I stick some duct tape to add tension, but this is not a reliable solution. Do you think I could apply a...

So here we are... I was quite terrified at the first power up, but everything seems to work fine! For now I'm using an adaptor to use a PS/2 keyboard, and I'll start now to build the ASCII keyboard, trying to reproduce a Datanetics one. I'll also build the Cassette Interface and try to load...

So it happens it was just my fault... I was missing to put one chip (7410) that is also part of the video section (ARTFM!) Now it's starting to look better. Tomorrow I'll add the computer section and see how it goes.

Well... I finally received the missing stuff to make the video cable and I could make the first test. I populated only the video section of the board and it's not working as expected... I should see a pattern of '_@_@_@" blinking but I only get the '@' characters. I need to figure out what...

Hi, I checked the fuse I saw. I think it was not in the leg but in the power supply board, but there are different version of the IW2, so I'm not sure. In any case... some kind of power arrives, because when I press the power button there's a brief "thump" and physical movement in the printer...

No idea… I just checked on Google to learn about it and I saw comments about adding or removing RAM to make the Cmd+P+R boot keys to work and being able to wipe the PRAM. It would be nice to know how you sorted it out.

Hi, this section is a bit empty, so I will show off my new Mac mini G4 1.5Ghz that I got for cheap, mostly with the objective of having something small to run Mac OS 9. I used the Mac OS 9 Lives! setup for unsupported Macs. It works like a charm, with the only issue of not having internal...

I couldn't get to test the video output, as I can't build the cable yet (missing connector), but I got this nice CRT today... It's a Sony PVM-91CE, monochrome and small (9 inches). This is from 1982, so a bit newer than it should be, but I think that it should fit nicely

Great video, but please sort out the link :)

Another step in the process... I built the power brick and tested the voltages. It was a scary part, as I'm wary about working with 230V... But nothing exploded and I'm still alive. I tested the voltages on the board and all rails (+/-5 and +/-12) look fine. I'm not very satisfied with the...

Hello. Just came to say that I recapped the power supply and I had absolutely no change. Suggestions are welcome!

One more day... I received the tool to prettily bend the legs of resistors and other things, and I went ahead to solder all the components. I had to decide to install the traditional bypass 100nF capacitors with the old stock disks or use modern replacements. I went to the traditional ones, that...

Well... I couldn't advance much in the last days, but at least I managed to solder the sockets. I'm waiting for a plastic ruler like this one to bend the resistors as much tidy and pretty as possible, but in the meantime I did some work in back side to add the so-called "reliability mods"...

Hello, I'm just starting this project, so I thought I'd just put here the progress, in case is of any interest, and maybe I can get some assistance during the journey. I'm doing this with the open source version of the board, which is not the most accurate, but it's technically correct. For the...

I checked about the Replica, which is far more convenient, but finally I made my mind about making a clone, and now I just need to carry on, as I made the investment in the chip set and rest of components.

Hi, I'm starting the project to build an Apple 1. I already have (hopefully) all the components board and power supply components. I didn't see any post about Apple 1 here. Is there anyone around having built a clone willing to share experiences? In particular I'm right now seeing options for...

Hi @rdmark Do you plan to update the Netatalk setup which comes with the RASCSI? I'm using it and it was really practical, but I can only connect as guest from a modern Mac, as I couldn't figure out how to setup an authentication protocol that is accepted (if that's even possible) Edit - I...
