    Macintosh SE or SE/30 Fan Bracket

    Thanks, sounds good, but didn't see the operational method offhand. The heating of the wire for measuring cooling effects of airflow seems problematic in terms of implementation without variance between setups. I'll have to play some with the images floating around in my head, do some sketches...

    VERY nice! Hinged LCD as in alternate view of the black version?

    Thunderscan rocked! Dunno about IWII, but on the Wide Carriage ImageWriter(1) it was awesome. I hunted down that beast before my backordered SE/20/Radius16 based sign system arrived with its inferior Security Camera/Video Digitizer setup. Had to buy the Fat Mac bundled with the PrintMONSTER, so...

    Macintosh SE or SE/30 Fan Bracket

    Thanks! I figured the concept was viable. Looked at MAF on Wikipedia and found a far more simple mechanism than the undershot water wheel model for a flow sensor mechanism. VAF (volume air flow) sensor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_flow_sensor#Moving_vane_meter LOL! Too many variables...

    Macintosh SE or SE/30 Fan Bracket

    Are you in the U.S. or elsewhere? Very curious about cost of fan and locally printed ductwork? Thinking of running the test regime with my pass-thu fan/horizontal neck board SE. Stock 1987 SE tested in four configurations: - OEM pass-thru fan setup - swapped in SE/30 axial fan/sheet metal...

    Noctua's a big improvement. Fans like that have come a long way in the past 30+ years. How noisy was the "squirrel?"

    Rotten doesn't work as well, ripening to rot stage seems to be most effective . . . < briefly considers fixing screens . . . >

    Oh, they're cassettes? I thought they were modules that contained the Memory necessary to run them? That way they'd be useful in general as memory expansion. That'd drive package price up, but the Stat package especially would be portable sans cassette player. Just one expansion slot in the...

    Killer find! Interesting to see that the programming modules include the expanded memory required to run them? Gotta love the late Sir Clive, hadn't looked into his life or known of his multidisciplinary achievements before this, though I'd ordered his Z88 notepad computer from England almost...

    Cool, hadn't seen those before. Looks like I should get one for pastry prep. Once in a while when I get home from work I'm in the mood for a sweet treat, so I whip up some vanilla shortbread cookie dough for an immediate snack. If I have milk in the fridge I sometimes remember mom times past...

    Hiya, Welcome. BGA rework sounds like fun, if way beyond my abilities. Have you looked at doing interstitial PCB conversions from package to package on a board as yet?

    Newfangled kitchen/general purpose development, circa 2.5 millennia B.C. Updated in metal ASAP. Son brought Ulu/Cutting Board back from his Nols Alaska adventure a decade ago. Love it, need to oil the board again. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulu#History

    Breaking the 36MB RAM limit on the LCIII

    Hence, the "have been" caveat, Kai! ;) I've been having trouble finding much of interest back there in terms of development/tinkering with hardware since the mass migration of talent. Hope you folks don't mind my tagging along, hopefully a side order of crazy added onto the menu for this place...

    Breaking the 36MB RAM limit on the LCIII

    Just in case height limitations bites your butt, I just had myself a blast playing in GraphicConverter on the Lombard. :) As your custom SIMM would be rotated 180 degrees in this configuration, any fli -floppery would be done on the riser card which could be higher. If there's interference...

    Breaking the 36MB RAM limit on the LCIII

    I think most here, definitely the founders, have or have been active members of the MLA. Cable introduces too many problems at RAM access clocks. Works for NuBusexpansion at 10MHz. @max1zzz named it GhostSIMM already, GhostSIMM III which is more appropriate. My nick for it was tongue in cheek...

    Breaking the 36MB RAM limit on the LCIII

    Looking at MegaSIMM3, I'm wondering if the bottom row of ICs might be interfering with the backside of the SIMM connector?

    Cool! Can't ask for more than that. Yep, that cropped up a month or two ago in the MLA PM thread I think. :eek: < waves white flag furiously > You're way ahead of me on that stuff . . . see above. :rolleyes: Cannot believe you've had any time at all for this what with the arrival of...

    Breaking the 36MB RAM limit on the LCIII

    Way cool, max!. Looks like it might fit. Print it out at actual size, rubber cement the paper to cardboard, cut it out, stick it in the slot and measure clearance. Haven't got an LC case handy, but if it's equal to or shorter than the FDD you should be good to go. If it doesn't fit, the diagram...

    Breaking the 36MB RAM limit on the LCIII

    Indeed, but some of this doesn't make sense to me at all. Per below, it would seem "Ranks" of memory would be more appropriate, no? With address lines contiguous between DRAM pads and SIMMs it looks more like just one Bank with 5 Ranks supported. Makes sense as Sonora is described as an amalgam...
