Love your board! what connectors did you find for the harness? If you do just the PPC section, thruholes for backplane connectors makes it perfect for doing a riff on one of the thin frogdesign studies with LCD. That would provide handy mounting points on the rear for BlueSCSI, tiny IDE to SD...

CSII->PCI

Wasn't creating a non-related tangent in need of a new topic I think. I was suggesting/showing the later system's drawer slides as mounts for the boards involved in your specific use case as illustrated in your first pic. Apple appears to have developed the CC/TV/550/575 harness connector's form...

Just remembered the clips @-SE40- printed for his Takky Mac project: His CAD model should be easily extended and the side runner/clip morphed into bolt down stands. The harness clips wouldn't be necessary for your purposes I think? The board connector interface is plenty rigid enough as is...

Welcome, sounds like this is the place for you! You're lucky to have so many locals in MN. What is it, the winters up there that drive you folks to this brand of craziness? I wish there were more tinkerers in NC, count's now three others that I know of.

LOL! No doubt, but ISTR he had reliable info on the method Apple had squirreled away for it and the 12" RGB 'zaTopper. Both were in development at the same time I think? I always wondered if they were resolution limited because of screen size/legibility for the CC and hobbling the low end for...

Thanks for the bump, missed it. Besides, there's so little discussion here the place seems dead. Be that as is may, the black makes it the second ugliest Mac ever shipped. ;) I say go ahead and paint the translucent fugliness black as well. Might help to camouflage its horrid rumpled bed throw...

Hrmmm? Has that database been updated with the info @techknight posted about doing 640x480 on the CC "the right way?" IIRC he said he'd do so, but never saw him post on how to do the same with the 12" RGB for LC.

Love it! May have a suggestion or two for your build. Is that older harness compatible with the 630/6200/6400/6500 harness interface supports? From the looks of it, the narrower AIO harnesses were a sub-set of the planned full width 580/630 thru 6500 buildout of that medusa-mess? I have a...

Cannot catch a break with this one, then two and now today three machines. Win11 borks the third display over DVI on the dock. From the beginning: ProBook #1 - got the i5/16BB version and was happy enough with it. Display is 1080p as expected, was willing to spend $200 on Amazon ______________...

Very nicely done. Love that knobby, offroad mouse wheel! ;)

Nice, good to know. One day I'll get the trinoptic/ringlight. Got fans and the filters arrived yesterday. Playtime in the AM!

Piccie?

Was poking around and ran across pics of your setup in the thread @Mu0n did a couple of years back on dedicated workstations. https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/dedicated-tinkering-space-soldering-and-other.1763/post-14608 Definitely worth a look for anyone who hasn't explored it.

Thanks for bringing this thread back to the surface at an opportune moment! Turned 70 in June and first two Social Security checks hit the bank on the first, so the wait for this project mentioned above is over! 😁 I can now begin to figure out what's required for setting this up. Just ordered...

TGIF, this Sunday night. ;) IRL I'm in Sitka, Alaska's time zone with my internal date line 48 hours off kilter, but it works for me. 🤪 Finally got quite a bit done on converting the CableMonster above from Slot A to Slot B status! If that breadboard setup is successful, I've got the markers...

Resistor . . .

https://pages.mtu.edu/~llsutter/appendices/frame.html Frame Capture Board, pretty ho-hum kinda thing, nothing interesting like VidCap. Looks to be Macintosh II era tech.

Fabulous achievement, props! :cool:

Ok, just made some headway! Now I need a little help: _ WTF is a resistive connection to an address line? _ How can I implement it on the Ribbon Cable Riser? Was planning to put a tap line on the four address lines @trag defined on the SuperMac ABC Riser above and suggested for CSII. Does this...
