Sending TwinSlot/TriSlot specs out to @Trekintosh who's jumped into the fray with KiCAD/PCB experience. Exciting stuff for March! AI converted 55/3.5 MicroNikkor arriving in a few days for down to 1:2 macro magnification on the Nikon D750 Documentation setup in progress.

Sorry to hear about being stuck in yard work mode with deficit in energy handicap, hoping better for you. I'm jealous of your inventory system, mine's just picture of contents of color coded boxes, numbered heavy duty small moving boxes and standardized shipping display boxes with removable...

Procrastination pays off handsomely! http://mess.redump.net/mess:driver_info:mac_technical_notes I imagine this one is in use by the boffin brigade? But others might want to take a look.

Hey @trag Are you into computer project phase again? If not, have you got enough chips available for me to try my hand at hot air rework? ;)

Been dreaming of this one for years, got a low shuttercount, mint body from Amazon Renewed. Straight flippy screen is the key feature added to baseline requirements of full frame sensor and compatibility with my extensive prime lens collection for my early production Nikon F collection. This...

Dug thru two drawers full of accelerators, but didn't expect find it. Did find something interesting though. https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/powerpump-accelerator-from-newertech-is-it-worth-cloning.49373/post-555223 Then I moved on to my very large Duo box and there it was in the...

Dunno, hoping I can find the critter somewhere around here. Snagged a UMax SuperMac C500 CPU 603e 180 MHz Module fourteen years ago and haven't gotten anywhere with it as yet. Started looking at grafting it into my 2300c some seven years ago, but the bus multipliers didn't seem to give it much...

Nice, I got one of those back in the 'fritter days. It's been living in one of my Quadra 700 cases since then.

Hence, my near obsession level interest in Blackbirds all of a sudden. I've a box of internal parts from here and there with no real desire to get them up and running. I'd then need to source what I consider its unfortunate, thankfully very short lived, industrial design departure from the...

You're most welcome, not sure how many folks know of and truly appreciate that documentation these days. Pre-Kanga 3400 limitation doesn't bother me at all. It's kinda nice to have it cut off pre-G3, before Jobs got Apple back on the, regrettably slot expansion limited, profitability track...

PCMCIA is a whole different kettle of fish I think. Such requires the likes of the T-REX ASIC on the bottom of the 1400 Card Cage Daughtercard. How much overhead is entailed by going through the full implementation? Going directly from 030 PDS to CF @joethezombie appears to be getting close to...

Looks like it boils down to card connector availability. Anybody know the spec or source offhand? Crazy notion popped in the noggin' for the fabulous Compact Flash card for 030 PDS @zigzagjoe has in development over yonder. Figured someone here might have the answers. Tech chops here far...

Yep, the entire document is line art and text. Here's a quick workup in AI. Could do something like four machines per page? edit: I'd imagine this kinda thing might be nice for someone oriented toward web page development as well? I'm more the three ring format, wood pulp based storage media...

Not into current notions of AI endeavors, AI will always mean Adobe Illustrator/OS9 to me. ;) Ports & Pinouts will make a great source of backplane info under enlarged Macintosh model pics. Can't find the document right now, but pretty sure it's all line art and text?

Now THAT is a great idea! I can build it incrementally in AI and save it as .PDF for quick reference on any machine as I go, online or not.

One of the magicians over at the MLA described the 86C05 as a NuBus Controller, but that didn't sound right to me. NuBus Controller is on the Mac's Logic Board or on the 030 PDS->NuBus Adapter in the cases of the IIsi and DuoDock. 86C05 is a multiple platform, programmable Bus Controller, but...

(y)(y) ;)

Whatever it takes will suffice! I think such will be fine with those who want a Rocket on board. You won't see it very often and anything that any reduction of power consumption and heat generated will be welcome. ;) Since the PDS connectors are readily available, it would be amazing to build...
