Pretty sure an 800K drive in there will look and work as a 400K drive - it will only write data to the one side of the disk. It might not physically line up with the slot, though; it's been a while and I can't remember...

Very handy - thanks!

I was there - I think I see my (very tall) friend in one of the pictures :)

Have completed the recap of a backlit Portable. The machine boots, sound is good, screen is good, etc. Boots from external SCSI drive. The issue I'm having is no matter what the application or text box, whenever I type more than 3-4 characters on the keyboard, it either drops to the ROM...

I've got a Firewire/SCSI doodad somewhere if that helps...

mTCP is awesome.

Pretty sure the @JDW video on SE and SE/30 power supply recaps has a section on how to measure and set voltages.

but it has such a nice keyboard compared to the others...

Nice! What was the shipping cost like - assuming you are in the US...

I'm in on the Kickstarter. Hoping to hit the stretch for the clear case!

Turns out I have the wrong keyboard/mouse combo. Anyone have SGI keyboard 9500801 and/or mouse 9150800 they want to part with. Drakware is sold out of his Indigo/USB converters.

I went a slightly different direction, but it works! I've used a lot of Glitch's boards like that on my old Suns.

Needs at least a TOD battery. Missing drive sled, but I can use external SCSI until I get that from my friend.

I think we've all been there...

If you can make kits of the box version (all the parts, I'll assemble) I'm in for at least two. Depending on cost, if you assemble as well, I might go that route :)

Looks good!

I've put small things like hard drive cases as such out in the sun during the summer. It's slow, but it works. I've not seen any regression (or increased yellowing) on parts I did in the summer of 2020 when COVID started me being home during the day. YMMV

I've got two Thunderbolt displays that both have problems with the panels. Looking at them, I'm wondering if there's a practical solution to pull out the internal guts to make a poor man's Thunderbolt dock with the Tbolt/USB/Ethernet board and some kind of external power. I've seen but not...

I will pull and get some pictures.

For things like screw mounts/bosses that are not visible from the exterior, I've taken JB Weld and built it up on the outside of the mount to add extra strength. This has worked particularly well on the older Powerbooks, for example. If you are a risk taker, you can also "remake" a screw boss...
