Will definitely get another one of these in production birdseed mode, please :)

Would be a good idea to clean board after removing the old ones, and before installing the new ones.

That's corrosion - you'll need to recap that board - the 'dust' is corrosive gunk from the capacitors for sure. Just because there's no visible signs doesn't mean the board hasn't been subject to it. All the solder joints on those caps are dull.

Can you get a good quality picture of the logic board on its own, with nothing connected or plugged in to it?

Try not to put it on an antistatic bag - the bags themselves are conductive - put the board on a non-conductive surface. Have you installed a PRAM battery for it? With x100 series Power Macintoshes - the ROM and Cache are both on a stick - you'll need at least the ROM SIMM installed to get it...

BOMARC Schematics here:

Oooh I do need a 1xx series battery - is that using the case design from thingiverse??

Ah, what slot do you have the video card in? They're VERY picky about that.

Birdseed would be worth it on the underside, i think. The SE/30's that @This Does Not Compute made were about £50 to £60 with birdseed so an extra tenner for a much larger board i think would be worth it.

Oooh - but do all 4 ports on the card work, or can it only address 2?

Don't forget when overclocking to set the SCSI clock to /2 isntead of 1:1 ratio :)

There's DigiKey as well, but honestly, once the order is over £32 iirc, the shipping is free anyway.

Ah, another UK person, welcome! :D Personally, i use mouser.co.uk - i'd follow the guide that @JDW has here: There are SOME differences however, in that the international board has double the amount of large caps. That being said, the safety caps are the same.

Yes.

Zane - given that Xilinx have announced the discontinuation of the entire XC95xx line of CPLD's, is this now going to require re-implementation in an FPGA? Looks like CPLD's are not long for the world, now, as there's no plans to directly replace the XC95 series with any other CPLD. The ones...

Correct - it was for Burn-In only.

Oh... Well now I have a dilemma - as in my second semester of my first year of Uni, I upgraded to an Athlon 64...and later, an Opteron 146...then an Opteron 170. I came across this Asus A8N board (nForce 4) with PCIe support. I also happen to still have my XFX 7600GT from way back then, too...

One thing that should be very clear to people is that these projects are often being done in spare time - not active, commercial products. Developers of these things are just as human as the rest of us - personal life often gets in the way. Personally, i've not done any reverse engineering or...

I mean, i've seen a lot worse - honestly, pull the board out and give it a good cycle or two in an ultrasonic cleaner to properly get rid of the filth. It may need some parts reflowing afterwards, as the corrosion has attacked the component legs.
