Very nice. Love the mounting clips, does the board slide out vertically? The right angle alignment for an "L" configuration looks great. But that second pic has me wondering about angling the board far enough to the rear to allow you to retain the FDD? Looks easy enough to test fit using...

@ScutBoy here's an idea if considering any kind of corner desk or storage solution for your project: But first, thanks much for that Little Green Grail! :D Sun stuff pics after the carpet installation. Dunno whether to call it a two legged corner desk, three with one inverted leg contraption...

Much as I believe my Quadra 630 with full 68040 is the best, you can upgrade its lesser offspring with same. I guess I'd have to give the nod to the LC/DOS version that has a second (16MB limited?) SIMM Slot. In the PPC versions I'd have to say the 6400, as the faster bus speed and marginally...

Hopefully sound less like a jet plane? Mine's fairly small. At this point I can probably find a laptop of desktop DVD trayloader to replace the DVD player only in there now.

Here's a relevant pic. Showed the Mac101/DrexelMac in this spot in the ADB KBD thread at the MLA, but this is its dedicated purpose: It's a three (or several more) surface, spread the long term project out workstation with integrated copystand for documentation and lighting of 3D FedexSaw...

Same same, pretty much interchangeable through the entire 630-6500/5200-5500 mobo drawer series. No way to do the three way projection implementation that way. Rear screen projection COLOR Compact sans LCD, rear for movie projection and scaling/blowing up artwork and best of all, vertical for...

Nowhere very fast! All major projects are on hold after the carpet is installed and everything back in its new or old place. I have a shattered plastic prototype that needs my full attention. I want to get that done so I can move it on to its owner before I move to a new place in six to 24...

Like your ITX build solution! Very cool. Was doing something similar, but cut the chassis "roof" out and was mounting the ITX board to a DOA Plus board and its nekkidized Mini ATX PSU to the denuded center section of DOA A/B. Case is a damaged, vent melted Plus now has a removable driver side...

I've been dumping my (thank heavens above) backup of 72 pages of attachments lost a/o their links redirected randomly at the MLA and just ran across this one that I'd mentioned upthread: It's more complicated, including A/B switching Video output (inputs and output?) from or to the Mac for...

Now that's an interesting comment for feedback. ;) It's not really all that much space when you consider it's a tad less than 9'. across the window wall and only 5.5'. along the desk wall as is in a 10' x 12' space which was my bedroom pre-Covid when I had a roommate in the master suite . ...

Progress pics, no time for commentary. Woodbutchering and design questions welcome. Just keep in mind, this is an in progress, use up as many scraps and leftover components as you go, temporary knockdown full wall/setup exercise. :p Everything needs to be trimmed leveled up and finished...

I don't think I was clear on that. The 630 board remains stock and easily interchangeable. I suggested designing a ports panel for the rear of the case with new connectors soldered to it where they belong, wires plugged into the Mobo would be clipped to length, stripped ans soldered into holes...

AHA! you posted this whilst I was typing. No need to run a SCSI cable on the drawer front connector to the back of the case. If you don't go with the Compact Flash in SCSI port option there are plenty of inexpensive SCSI header to DB-25 breakout options like the one above. SCSI is on the ribbon...

Fabulous! love it as it stands, but can think of a few tweaks offhand based on other hacks I've seen over the years. Good point, it looks like there's plenty of room to move the logic board higher up in the frame, where an opening underneath would allow standard cables and A/V Card's cables to...

Well, that certainly wasn't the ugliest part, but details on that upcoming and in progress details of these pics later. Never got the desk reassembled, but it was a very good day in that room and out on the terrace with the power tools. So a wrapup of today's progress before I do a TLDR detailed...

Connectors are always expensive. I say go SMT with SIMMS by beveling the edge at 45 degrees. It should be easy enough for me to come up with a jig for using the Dremel everyone but me seems to have. One part holds the Dremel at that angle and the second would be a slide setup that mates with the...

I've looked at the only two(?) types of DIMM modules that support DRAM, they utilize FPM DRAM. Chunking their 64bit data path down to two 32bit memory banks would be like installing a pair of 72pin SIMMs. 72/144 and 100/200 packages exist, dunno how many are out there by now and the latter may...

Enough for one day. This is what happens when you knock something together with a screw here, a screw there and three or four under the hidden corner. Pull it apart, you've got one mess and a boo boo on your thumb when the desktop decided to head toward the floor. Time to square things up and...

I like it, but still wondering how the memory map works out. Did you catch my PM? The Sonora Memory Controller in the LCIII looks to be Apple's first run at the DRAM control line core of the next gen MEMCjr Controller for Q605/LC475 and related to C610 and C650. So you may be headed toward a...
