Great thread, janjan! Looking forward to your Plus upgrade kit info. I've got a cattle branded Drexel 128k that was upgraded to Plus with a 16MHz Performer accelerator upgrade that brought it up to almost stock SE30/4MB configuration. The branding process means it was not a student's...

@Stephen your linked PDF appears to be damaged?

Indeed, it was a dream, all but totally useless without adding a second, external FDD to the "AIO" Computing Appliance for the rest of us. The eviscerated (Scullied) 128K was the introductory RoadApple sold to those who would become the faithful by an unscrupulous huckster. He introduced it in a...

Glad you like it, saw a LOT of use in the rug rat's bedroom. Quadra 630 was the heart of his home entertainment setup, homework station and I used the Q630 after he'd gone to sleep as needed for my working from home. Quadra 630/17" Sony Trinitron display and remote control of CDs from this...

Cool! Thanks for the info. Here's a shot of my early Q630's kit for comparison:

Thanks for the fix info, I think I'll still turn mine into a feature. :)

I was playing at making a 1/8" MacQuarium bubble, so that was the way to go at the time. Affordable LCDs were still a thing of the future in terms of availability/price point.

Older, take a bit longer view than that. I've learned that waiting for prototyping technology advances to become affordable at tinkerer levels pays off big time. That was a very hard won lesson. Started out when CNC was new and was blown away when stereo lithography came about. Over that last...

Very nice! how are you limiting the sanding/polishing to only the display area? Got linkage to the vacuum formed bubbles on etsy? That process better have been perfected by now. My stuff was done back in January, 2013!

Here's the only shot I have of what I'm pretty sure is a nonstandard VGA/60Hz res: First run playing with that card, not dialed in. Crappy digicam shot, but gives you the idea. Can position the image anywhere desired on the 1080p field. Got the SuperMac Spec/8 SI set up almost perfectly...

Understood, had to ask if such might be of help to reduce editing time and double takes. The only stupid question . . . ;)

No doubt, but I'm talking about something on the order of a 120-140mm Noctua. RPM to be revved down so that the much larger fan's CFM would equal the output of the smaller internal fan after pressure losses inherent in the ducting. Noise and airflow would be pointed straight down and away from...

KBD Target 01: My favorite layout. Donor is an ancient Laptop from a three letter Federal Agency. :)

Found some more stuff using "mechanical keyboard" in search: Controllers, etc: https://1upkeyboards.com/product-category/controllers/ Looks like this guy's amazing work uses Teensy controller (page 2 above) with mechanical switches: https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2534&start=

Following with great interest, best of luck getting this worked out. Wondering if milling a convex back surface for a two part mold might be an approach to try. smoothing and polishing a convex surface is oh so much easier than concave surface work. :) Just in case: I've got a thread about...

Wondering if you take a different route will help? Remove the fan entirely from the Compact on the table and bodge ductwork from the vents around, down and under the table positioned so it's not visible in the video. Point a much larger, higher CFM, but far less noisy fan so that it points...

SuperPaint?

Found a couple of great links for Laptop KBD conversions: https://www.instructables.com/How-to-Make-a-USB-Laptop-Keyboard-Controller/ https://hackaday.com/2018/12/04/teensy-liberates-the-thinkpad-keyboard/ Conversion of some PowerBook KBDs are listed, but target is the PB1400 KBD, which hasn't...

Musical chair links to attachments worked out great for once. Found this beauty randomly substituted for a link in one of my MLA posts: Somewhere Pics surfaced of a much earlier machines being upgraded in similar fashion. ISTR that being a SIP to a single 30pin SIMM? @Zane Kaminski is this...
