Glad you like 'em. Post some side on pics and requisite measurements and I can dial it in for you. ;)

Finally found a pic of your neck board, looks tiny so the angle can be sharpened more as compared to my first AI doodle:

edit: I like the more rakish angle of the chamfer, it's growing on me. I think it streamlines your cinderblock nicely. :ROFLMAO: However you will be needing to angle the handle recess down toward the front for finger room if you decide to take it this way. Definitely consider the TwiggyMac...

Thanks, I figured you'd like it. Question would be the height of the top edge of the neck board on your CRT. Clearing that is the problem and will likely require reducing the angle of the camfer? I've got a 10" Color CRT in a Plus, but the neck board is way too big to fit within the BackPaq...

I like it! Great work. For v.2 go TwiggyMac with the slot, it's a lot more interesting visually and would set your rendition apart from the LCD MiniMacs. Looks a bit odd due to the length, but if you shallow up sj's chamfer on the back edge, you might be able to hide a good portion of the...

I've still got the Sony 17" Trinitron Display I put in the Rig Rat's room with the Quadra 630 and Apple Powered Speakers. It was bigger than the 15" Trinitron TV we had in our bedroom. That was my first computer display when I hooked up the C64. Wild times playing Red Baron on that baby with...

I've another thread about TPD/SE and adapting that single BNC output to VGA RGB inputs for a multisync LCD panel. Have you seen that one? Pretty much still need the scaler to pull it off even after that I think. ROMs have only to do with Driver/OS combo support IIRC. Getting the output from...

Understood. I like to keep hacks and bodgery to available DC voltages downstream of UL approvals. Not afraid of mains wiring, I've done three phase . . . but KISS principle compliance is where it's at! ;)

Question: why not just snake a 12V line up through the handle cooling vents to dispense with cordage and switch complications entirely? Tether the connector to the chassis and break off the latch of a standard wire-wire connector for tethered to the vents for pull-it-loose strain relief...

I worked it out in a thread over at the MLA, I'll look around for it. edit: that was a quick search! https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/mac-portable-peripherals-schematic-development.36374/

Cool, I wonder if you can have the IIci running under System 6 and have the Rocket boot into System 7 from its disk? Works the other way around with Rocket in NuBus PPC booting into System 7 with its host running OS 8.x IIRC.

"IIfs" oopsie, my bad on that typo too. :) You do have a Rocket33/25 and not the 40MHz RocketShare only version, no? If RocketShare disks shipped with the card as opposed to RocketWare, that'd indicate the latter and no joy on acceleration under RocketWare nor support for System 6..

De nada. Excited to see this repro project taking shape! Wondering about your centrifugal blower notion anyway. Check CFM/decibel output of right sized blowers against axials for that cubic, there's plenty of height for the intake side. Shooting both air and noise directly out the backside...

Confused here, does it cool by overpressuring the case with cool air or by sucking the hot air out? The former would wreak havoc with the Compact's convection cooling setup, I'd think?

Sounds like a plan. Are you testing under RocketWare, RocketShare or both? ISTR that you can only run it under RocketShare on the IIfx? I was under the impression that the IIfs had a hard 1GB memory ceiling? ;)

Yep, figured we'd be wasting way more than just the "other" 16 data lines. What's the lowest capacity 72pin SIMM extant? If one were but 2MB we'd still be wasting 3x what we'd be using besides that MB on the wrong side of the bus. ;)

I made a few suggestions to the cabinetmaker whose shop was across the street from mine. He was amazed by the way the tweaks positively impacted his workflow, the time and effort saved in the doing of it. I totally rearranged my friend's sign shop, moving assembly tables out of the dark to the...

I miss the days of vibrant forums activity at Applefritter and the MLA from 2002 or so, pre Facebook infestation of the web. I don't know about the social media activity channels that have taken the place of long running discussions in the forums. Are they any good for searching long archived...

I've got a lot of Radius boards. Their ROMs and Drivers are often backward compatible. Have you tried the 4.4 driver?
