Apologies for the late reply - real life has been getting in the way lately - weddings to attend etc - my free time is non-existant at the moment. For the PLCC extractor - nothing i have worked properly for the 84-pin packages - i resorted to using a dental pick instead, slowly levering each...

Stickied!

The SWIM isn't a surprise - as internally the SWIM includes the new chip AND the old chip - there's just a crossbar switch to select the relevant one when needed. IWM exists inside the SWIM at all times.

Ooof - has that damaged the speaker??

Either board would be just fine - no real difference that I can spot, might be a simple change in routing or something - I can't spot anything obvious. Nevertheless, all the parts you need are there. Would it not be better to use a dead board, instead of taking a functional one and transplanting?

@max1zzz might be best placed to do that as he did the Plus Reloaded.

Could the Vampire 68080 core be licensed at all?

Paging @techknight as he's our resident CRT guru 😜

Well, we have a pretty good resource section here, but also, just ask questions here! We also have a very active discord server that can help. Might be worth posting what you have, along with pictures as a starting point :)

Looks like fun, it's definitely on my watch list, already downloaded it to my NAS.

Has to be a regular pci slot, not pci-e. But yes, you should be able to, easiest via booting to freedos or the like.

Excellent write up, stickied!

Paging @trag ...

Would you mind reposting that here in the resource section, or as a thread, that's a great list!

Yep - it's replacement panel time. Luckily, panels are still reasonably available for these, as PC's and industrial machinery used them, too. Pull the panel from the display, get the make and model. I'll help you find a replacement panel.

I have legitimately had issues before where a Sandisk MicroSD worked in everything, but my Quadra 700 just would NOT play nice with it at all. Swapped to a Kingston and it worked fine.

My Power Macintosh 9600/300 build is finally complete! I've replaced the CPU with a Sonnet Crescendo G4 @ 400MHz with 1MB L2 cache, replaced the stock ixMicro Twin Turbo with a Sapphire Radeon 7000 with the full Mac ROM (swapped ROM chip) and the March 2002 Radeon driver. On top of that, i've...
