    FS: Radius Rocket Clone "Prototypes"

    A pair of 72pin SIMMs should be easy enough to implement with connectors available, no?

    ATTO SiliconExpress II - Clone an early Fast/Narrow SCSI II Card?

    Remembered my early SCSI II card whilst slumbering in bed and tossed the notion of cloning it out to the gang at the MLA before I woke up enough to think better of it. So here goes: Wondering if anyone here has any notions about what might transpire on what appears to be a fairly simple...

    Cleaning up Family Apple "Collection"

    HRMMM, 1995-1997 components on a DOS Emulator for Mac may or may not be compatible with Win98? Maybe try Win3 for Workgroups or . . . heaven forbid . . . THE ARCHETYPAL BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH RELEASE!!! :eek:

    Wonderful! Might I suggest making a pair of holes in the sides where the case overlaps the vent louvers of 7100/8100? When assembling the case you should be able to drop a longish U-shaped wire through them. Bend one wire into a J-shape to fish down thru and then back up in order to twist tie...

    WOWSAS! 😲 Looks like 1995-1997 S3 Graphics Goodness on board. S3Trio64V+ 1995 ViRGE/GX 1997

    PowerBook fun and games begin with Raspberry Pi CM4Lite and its I/O board!

    This is the kind of interface card that ought to be soldered down to headers replacing the desoldered PCIe Slot. Need to modify that interface in order to clear overhead limits in PowerBook Duo and PowerBook 100 cases. No time to attack the slopes of the KiCAD learning curve, so I'll likely...

    If you've got an ugly one with intact locking tabs and feets I'm only about a 2.5 hour drive from you. It'd be fun to meet up, I've got oodles of trade goods and a little bit of the filthy lucre available. ;)

    Thanks for that explanation, I never understood the DOS Compatible issue you'd been mentioning. That shroud's amazing, when I first suggested the shroud I was thinking of printing sides of the case and shroud in one piece. making base unit of the case flat on the inside of your case simplifies...

    PowerBook fun and games begin with Raspberry Pi CM4Lite and its I/O board!

    Main thrust of this will be my beloved first laptop, bought new on clearance PowerBook 100/maxed out memory card and faster modem card from APS. Stuffing it with CM4 goodies resumes ancient project after first take now abandoned. Have to find one more box with the base unit inside. But stretch...

    DA-15??? I thought you were doing VGA conversion for HD15 on board? You definitely don't want to see anyone hanging a VGA converter off that thing!

    Very nice! If you leave the shroud/pins at that height it would probably clear the (5mm+- tall) cooling vent louvers of the 7100? Didn't realize you had in house printing capability. Color me jealous. ;)

    Very cool! Trimming pins on the insertion side would be a no-no. I've clamped the pins in a vise and tamped the plastic spacers down to length. Given the thickness of the printed case, trimming them on the solder side shouldn't be necessary. Again, fantastic work! ;) edit: thinking about it...

    Indeed! Said that in the first response to his announcement over in the MLA Trading Post thread. Amen to that, I've go the SCSI2 Daughtercard on hand.

    If that's the case and we have the formulas for the GALs, might someone accomplish that funneling of GAL logic intto modern gate arrays? Thinking here would be that the logic upgrade would be more power efficient and capable of running at the full 40Mh Stage II clock while still supporting...

    Need solution for HDI-45 to DB-15 connectors for video out

    Didn't take it that way at all, not saying my way is the only approach either. ;) My (unvoiced?) concern has been re-alignment of the adapter PCB when re-installed after having been removed for pulling the logic board. The support pin/stud spread at the four corners help to ensure alignment and...

    2025 PowerPC Challenge

    Not a big deal for me, been using PPC for my Graphics work in OS9 all along since its intro. Never switched to OSX because I've got tens of thousands of dollars worth of Graphics and CAD/CAM software/hardware, much of which never made the jump to X before I closed up shop in 2004. Very nice to...

    Apple Lisa Mouse A9M0050 - Replacement Shell

    I'd love to see hybridization extended to single Twiggy slot/Profile Drive vents for BluRay access. So far as printing goes, I like the notion of printing it in sections. Once joined, print assembly would be sanded smooth and painted for Prototype correct finish. Plans for my bezel include...

    Like I said, that version was measured mostly with Mk.1 eyeball. Here's the updated version ready for printout testing. Clearances should be appropriate. I'll whip up a 3D model to test clearance for the PDS bracket knob. My main concern with your vertical card would be lack of sufficient...

    Too tired to take a better pic tonight, but this'll do for now: Time to buckle down and take off some real measurements for the next version, here's the .pdf for printout as it stands:
