Thank you, insane storage arrangements, workshop design and space planning (cubic rubric) has been a thing for me since at least as far back as middle school . . . oh so many, many years ago. I did a BROR riff only because their design tool was where where @Mu0n started his quest for space...

Nice stuff there, etching my own PCB for custom layout would be the way I'd go. I've been playing with KBD layout since the early 90's. Most of my KBD hacks are in need of only the controller. I found this one recently and another I can't find ATM. The latter has a matrix scanner available for...

BROR Shelves x 2 + 2 shelf boxen + Droptop Worktop Unit = THIS + two leftover shelves + two leftover corner standards 🙃

Pre-Viz is a snap for me, olde schoole signpainter tricks employed with pencil or dry erase marker. :) Curvature at lower edge of Lisa is problematic w/o resurfacing and sanding away all texture from the balance of the bezel. No Problem for LisaP(ismo) forks of hack development, those will be...

YAY! I finally found where I stashed the //gs KBD! Perfect spot in the HackHutch right next to the swingout cutting board tool caddy, in plain sight of course. :rolleyes: Defining measurement for front edge of case would be 21mm in height. If I were to do HartmutBlack it would be a Silly...

Re: SJ running the BigMac project in 1984 after 128K release, before he left Apple a year later.

Outlined the plot for a horror flick over yonder and wondered about checking facts with gang in this forum: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/proposed-plot-for-a-horror-movie.41892/post-454354 Was there any form of bus level expansion before the NeXTcube was released?

If I ever find the perfect LCD, my Lisa II front bezeI (only have that one single part) may get the same treatment. 🤪 Can't imagine doing it with a sander to achieve a perfectly planar interface with the LCD.

Thats the ADB II KBD included with my SE/20 shipped 1987, received 1988. Replaced it ASAP with a real KBD, datadesk in VT-100 form factor.

Take a pic of the entire matrix and post it. I'll play with it in AI and then predict which keys are giving you trouble with intermittent contact. Meanwhile, look for marker pens that lay down flex circuit ink. ;) Which measurement are you going to use to define the front edge? Depressed...

I LOVE that cut down, flattened bezel. I've plans to do the same thing from the front side using an outside limiting router jig with bit that will cut along the underside. Mostly for SE/SE/30 flatish bezels, but doing my Classic can be done the same way. (CNCenvy+) Modular, printed backplane...

Good news that! Maybe test it by folding only the bottom layer of the sandwich underneath at the start? If that doesn't break connections then folding the top layer ought to be fine? I've never imagined that those flex circuits would take a liking to be folded to fit a magician's box. Go about...

What KBD are you Hacking apart, looks like ADB II? Got a pic of the controller and its connector? Folding the sandwich underneath has always seemed a bad idea to me. I've only considered: __ customized PCB made for the bottom layer __ controller bodged to extension on PCB __ lop off bottom...

LOL! ;) PowerBook/Portable KBDs all require a controller AND a Wombat or the like for ADB conversion. The thin, inexpendive USB KBDs I suggested far upthread require only the ADB adapter and come with matching wireless rodents for a silver, black or white build. Looks like Harmut liked the...

Not at all, sorry, meaning's ambiguous there. In that context "gotcha" was intended to convey: I understand you, I get your point, no problem and such in American English idiom. Was trying to be helpful, not nitpicking your design. In the Cubist, Hartmut renderings, the KBD "cube" was almost...

First tweak: can you and the kids live with gameplay on flatscreen? Something on the order of my 22"x38"/42" panel could be mounted to the bottom side of the the flip down worktop. I'd build a frame for it hinged to a lip at the top. Pinned in place you'd have kneeroom lackinig in your...

I've had a thing for drop down desktop tinkering since I found this piece at goodwill many years back. Building the complete unit would be possible. Building only the dropdown desk section out of plywood parts cut at your local Big Box would be easily done for anyone comfortable using a drill...

Gotcha. One question about your design comes to mind. The chamfer along the bottom at front edge looks like it won't work for a mechanical switch KBD. I don't recall that feature on any of the frog studies. Rubber domes were not available to frog design in the timeframe of Hartmut's work at...

Thanks, Aren't the suites rentware? Not a Photoshop user, so AI activation code won't work for a suite. Gotta be standalone AI. Was there a standalone version after AI10? edit: 466 is a legacy treasure, I've got QS and MDD/OS9 Special Edition. Former needs work and haven't been able to get OS9...

Cool, I'd been wondering about raiding PSRAM from some of the cards I have for PowerBooks. Might 4-8MB worth of the chips harvested from a fairly low capacity 1400 card work? 5126 possible, 5120 not? Luggable is at 4MB now, so haven't thought about it a lot. No 5126 in collection, sigh.
