    TinkerTips - Tools of the Trades, Arts, Hardware and . . .

    Holes - This one covers every section below, but antique stuff and combination tool stuff for which I failed to provide a placeholder. This'll be the last edition of this setup. Gotta finish the two projects sitting on the last one...

    TinkerTips - Tools of the Trades, Arts, Hardware and . . .

    I've got some crazy projects in the works ATM so I decided to start . . . whatever this turns out to be? Some tips will be very basic, some advanced, some garnered from source materials, experts and hard won experience leavened with some crazy creative problem solving over the years. I made...

    Memory Morass: Jailbreaking the Discrete IC Bank A limitations Apple imposed on all but top tier Macs + SimmSpender 3.0

    Gotcha, figured something like that was going down in there. Still haven't found my SIMMspender project box given the incredible mass of boxes jumbled about so it's probably too early to send this one out? @Bolle Whatchathink about reading that one? I don't really care if it dies in the...

    630 mini?

    Makes perfect sense to me, but they tell me I'm not right. The identical Quadra 700 triplets didn't stay stock for very long, but for the nicest which is bone stock. Gotta look up the timeline. Quadra 700/7100/G3 - complete and working, awaits plastic welding to fill in the gaps in its...

    630 mini?

    Given that statement, I wouldn't worry about the width after all. That's an SE/30 project and the Design Language isn't Snow White. It's the Apple Design (group?) Espresso Design Language that was an intentional break from Hartmutter's influence. IOW & IIRC post HSteveness' reign of terror...

    Sun Type 4 Keyboard.

    I think I have a gray one that's only missing some KeyCaps, but need to convert it to ADB or USB.

    630 mini?

    Fabulous! :D I love that knuckludraggin' hacker approach for some reason. :rolleyes: I love the maniac's work, vHacks are one of the many reasons she's the official muse of the 68KMLA. When I'm not cribbing from her work I'm going back to the Hartmutter originals. If you add the lower corner...

    Sun Type 4 Keyboard.

    Nice board, but it's the wrong color for what I need. Has to match my Sun ZFP case which is gray IIRC?

    Converting from CRT to LCD and updating video output in Compact Macs

    Indeed, but vertical connector is the Right Angle, you'll be pointing it Wrong Angle via the connector swap. ;)

    Converting from CRT to LCD and updating video output in Compact Macs

    This is starting to feel like I may be hijacking your thread? Trying to document my suggestions for you project, hope you don't mind? edit: for SPAM reduction, I'll move the RCPII/IIsi info and hacking tangent to its own thread and link it here. ;)

    Converting from CRT to LCD and updating video output in Compact Macs

    Yes, @Bolle and two other wizards are working on a PDS GS Card to drive the Micron GS neck board. Since you're familiar with it, will the Extron drive your 1024x768 LCD? If so, just about any VidCard would work. The Radius Color Pivot II/IIsi outputting its 16" best resolution would be a great...

    Converting from CRT to LCD and updating video output in Compact Macs

    Some of the guys are working on a GS solution already: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/building-an-internal-grayscale-card-for-the-se-30.39910/ SE/30 form factor SuperMac VidCard I snagged with dedicated IIsi adapter is missing from that list: Haven't tested it in the SE/30 yet, but...

    Converting from CRT to LCD and updating video output in Compact Macs

    Thanks for running down and listing specific notations in the documentation. My observation was based on my ingrained Neanderthaler approach to hacking. Pull the offending Video ROM and test results with and without VidCard. Determined what you just quoted from general understanding of the...
