I expect the profits to be easily distributed with pennies (maybe even quarters). If you want your payout in the form of a produced adapter, send me the address and I would gladly whip you a couple adapters for you help! I've gotten pretty good at assembly and I bought the PCBs in bulk, so I...

OK, the first "professionally" printed cases came back from JLC3DP and they fit really well. I was worried that variations in my printer and small tolerances of the parts may mean that my 3d models work well only on my 3d printer with the filament I use. But, the resin prints from JLC3DP...

Yeah, I need to see if there's a way to get the shipping costs to be more reasonable. nearly half the cost was in the shipping of the small, lightweight shell. If you have links to the STLs, I can try to get them "JLC3DP compliant". I learned this the somewhat hard way with the Lisa Logo on...

Hey, first of all, thanks so much for this solution! A cheap solution for a Lisa HD emulator is awesome, and your guide to ordering the PCB with parts pre-assembled was fantastic. My case isn't quite as awesome as @JustDaveIII's, but I hopefully can keep refining it to make it better. You...

Yeah, I have a ReactiveMicro Drive/Turbo. I’d love to hear more about the overlap and differences between all these devices. Looking into the FujiNet, it seems like a more capable and less expensive alternative that maybe I should have picked up for my IIgs.

Yes, you are correct that the one on the left was from PCB way. You can really see the difference in clarity when I put it over the paper with printing on it. But I do agree with you that when quality is a concern, it seems like there’s a drastic difference. I may need to look into...

I had two of my four Mac IIc* machines have bad speakers. And the speakers in them are off, rectangular shaped speakers. I also had a bad speaker in my Mac II (which made me think for the longest time I wasn't getting a boot chime or sad Mac chimes) and found a decent replacement on Amazon. I...

So, the Lisa Mouse I ordered from PCBWay finally arrived. The production and shipping process, at least for this is WAY slower than JLCPCB, which is unfortunate because I paid way more for shipping (JLC3DP shipping for this mouse parts usually runs me $1.50 and arrives in about 1.5weeks...

Any chance you ever tracked down the issue? I recently replaced all 3 chips in that area with new ones, and there was damage to several pads / traces. Before the machine stopped powering on, it already exhibited this issue, but exactly as you described. Powers on from soft power keyboard...

I never got any SIMM to work in it. I just maxed out RAM on the Mac side and have used shared memory. I may revisit at some point and see if maybe throwing an FPM SIMM in there does the trick. I suspect it is either a failed memory chip, or the SIMM slot itself has issues.

OK, the beginning of the repo is up. https://github.com/wottle/HDI-45-Adapters Feel free to check it out and provide feedback. I plan to take photos of the next adapter I assemble and insert them into the assembly instructions in the readme. Also, I'm working with @jcm-1 to get some...

Nice! Is there a reason you built the external version and put it inside? Doesn't it add complexity of getting 5v USB into the case. That was my whole reason for switching from the Cameo/Aphid to the ESProfile internal version. Does the 2/5 not have an internal parallel connector? I built...

I’m not sure. I know my Mac TV mouse, which is a standard platinum mouse painted with the Duplicolor flat black vinyl and carpet paint has stood up to about a year and a half of occasional usage without any signs of wear, even on the flexible cable, which was the part I was most worried about...

FYI, looks like transparent is unavailable again until early March (https://jlc3dp.com/blog/temporary-suspension-of-oil-spraying-and-spray-painting-services). Was trying to get an order in for a transparent mouse to go with my upcoming transparent SE/30 case and transparent option is...

So, the new top case came in. I ordered it in the JLC Black Resin this time, which they claim is a darker black and I wanted to see if it would be a closer match to the Macintosh TV black color. And I'd say it is a very close match. I may see if I can 3d print a new mouse case for it...

Placed my order. Couldn't justify the clear Lisa front, but I told myself if the clear SE case came up again, I'd get one. Have a SE/30 reloaded board I want to put in in. Now to find the one with the best looking internals!

Yeah, I removed the diode completely figuring it was best for measuring. The diode measurement in one direction now shows 0.4V and 0L in the other. I think that likely the expected result, but I have no EE background and I’m not even sure what a diode does :). However, since I have it off...

The sticker on the flyback shows “AC-058 ZGCT”. And I don’t see any cracking, discoloration, or even dirt on the components. Here are some pictures of the flyback and the diodes I believe you are referring to. Not sure if it was a valid test of if I was doing it right, but I put my...

Unfortunately, the fast ticking persists after the recap of the analog and logic boards. Here’s a video of the ticking sound. The analog board was remarkably clean and I didn’t see any damaged components. One cap had a little leakage when I pulled it, but no damage to the holes or traces...

OK, printed the cases for the DA-15 and HD-15 versions and still tweaking things to try to ensure the best chance of a solid fit and alignment and to ensure no issues with the insertion / alignment of the pins. But overall they seem to be working great, and are very stable and so I don't think...
