    Hmm - have you got the IIci schematics to work with, first of all? :)

    Where to get ZIP VRAM for NuBus Radius DirectColor video card

    Most DRAM in the same packaging are the same type of DRAM - JEDEC defined pinouts at least. Very few, if any RAM manufacturers choose to ignore the JEDEC standards.

    Advice for diagnosing scsi failure on Quadra 800?

    I have a brick of PowerPC 601's from IBM with apple part numbers on the label, probably the same issue - never used!

    Where to get ZIP VRAM for NuBus Radius DirectColor video card

    Here are some - pricey though: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264261264395 These are a bargain for 3 pieces: https://shop.tvsat.com.pl/en_GB/p/3pcs-TC524256Z-10-1MBit-CMOS-Multiport-DRAM-ZIP28-TOSHIBA/21158 Looks like almost all 1mbit ZIP28 RAM is 256k x 4-bit multi port DRAM. OKI MSM514262...

    Logic Board - Macintosh SE Reloaded

    Hi Peter, I'm sorry I have no boards left, I gave up stocking them a while ago and deferred to Maceffects in the US as that's where 90% of the interest was for them (as you know not many macs in Europe by comparison). The latest version adds an extra pin header for an additional address line...

    XServe without a rack?

    Correct any rack mount kit can run pretty much wherever you want. Right now I'm running a Dell R520 on its side, stuffed under the desk, penned in by two desktop pc cases and a mac pro 🤣

    I was taken advantage of by an internet confidence trickster.

    The board has already made it's position clear in an official capacity, so i'm taking my board president hat off here - I have absolutely NO issue with anyone sharing their experiences with anyone, literally none. As @Yoda points out above, TD has ZERO finances to fight any kind of legal case...

    Identifying and confirming fake 68040 CPUs (especially the L88M mask)

    I wonder if someone (*cough* @alxlab *cough*) would try and make a similar "socket blaster" to use the low voltage 040's in regular machines, as has been done for 486 machines

    Where to get ZIP VRAM for NuBus Radius DirectColor video card

    Have you got a part number of the original ZIP chips that I can use to find a cross reference? :)

    I was taken advantage of by an internet confidence trickster.

    I can think of a few, but none suitable for polite company!

    My first Mystic is being mystical about working.

    Moving from the Lab's software section to compact macs, as this is nothing to do with software. Please can you be mindful of the categories your threads are being posted in.

    Apple SWIM Chip Adapters

    There's one more that could be made - a PLCC 44 pinout to PLCC-28 through hole socket layout - for Mac II's that shipped with an IWM, cause there was a PLCC-28 SWIM available for them in an upgrade kit that was used almost no one else.

    Scammers

    Personal opinion - this is something I absolutely agree with, but i'll raise it as an agenda item for the next board meeting.

    SE/30, not looking SE/Dirty!

    I believe you're using the XC and MC nomenclature incorrectly. MC just means a qualified part. XC means 'in development'. It does not refer to an FPU or not. In 68040 land, 68040 means fully enabled part, 68LC040 means no FPU, 68EC040 means no MMU or FPU. In the 68030, there was no such...

    Mac IIcx no chime after board re-cap and startup circuit repair

    I wonder if a IIcx reloaded from @max1zzz might be the best place to start with now that you've gone through the exhaustive process of recapping and rewiring everything.
