    Surprise Project c/o Water!

    Got home to find my beloved A1104 in a puddle of water with the fan cycling on and off. The last time something like this happened was my iPhone 4 being drenched in a storm. I was able to revive it and use it for as long as I wanted afterwards... years! I'm hoping a similar approach will work...

    Bench Power Supply Q

    Have my eye on one capable of 0-30v, which I know is fine. But max 3 amp... that sounds a bit on the low side. It's a Protek 303. Recently-ish calibrated in 2022. Thoughts?

    Found my Oscilloscope?

    I’m looking at this model. https://datasheets.globalspec.com/ds/teledyne-technologies/9304am/f6711327-f1aa-4b24-83dc-2ae7e1ca1f83 Four channels, I like the form factor. The only thing I’m uncertain on is if the frequency, sample rate and record depth are in the right range for what I want to...

    Accelerator Cards and Original Device CPUs

    If I wanted to slim down a group of boards, and the highest point is a socketed accelerator, could I delete the OG CPU on the board? I'm wondering if, once the accelerator is connected, the original CPU is totally ignored by the system. Orrrr.... maybe OG CPU is needed for very early boot...

    Mac84 or BigBadBio

    Oi! Either of you up in this shizzy? I got a computer I think either of you would love to stream working on. It's a rusted shut Mac Plus. When lifted it sounds like a pair of maracas. There is bound to be adventure inside, and approx 3 hours of streaming content. It's free. My only thing is if...

    Stealth Mac Plus!!!

    I was just looking for a 128k/512k bezel to get a stealth Mac Plus, tbh. Then I saw cat was selling one that powers on and seeks a floppy, so I grabbed it. $150 total with shipping and tax. May it contain a surprise accelerator within! The mouse-holster tells me the owner may just have been...

    128k/512k/Plus Logic-to-Analog connector

    Anyone know what these... molexesque connectors are called? I'm trying to build a test bench and want a long logic-to-analog cable. I was gonna use female-to-female molex ends to make a really long cable, but then I saw that there is this fuse on that cable, and I just don't wanna mess about...

    MC68030RC50 in an SE/30

    Anyone tried an MC68030RC50 in their SE/30? Did the computer explode and you lost your eyebrows in the flames and now you have to draw your brows on? Orrr... any other bad stuff happen? I know I'll need to get a new crystal oscillator. And according to cpu world the full 030 still relies on an...

    Is this socketed?

    The 68882 is def soldered on, but the 68030 looks like it might be in a socket? If so, I'm having difficulty getting purchase to remove it. If it's not a 68030 socket, Imma install one. - Katrina

    FX-100 Multi-handle Mod

    Hi all, I recently got a Hakko FX-100 induction soldering station. The handles connect via a standard co-axial connector. So this got me thinking. I have two handles and switching back and forth is annoying. Hakko has the perfect solution (for them) to this quandary. They have a frame that...

    Radius Pivot PrecisionColor CRT (Model 0356)

    OK, it arrived as did the SE/30 card. Buuuuut... the connector is rusted to shit and seems fused onto a VGA adapter. Def don't wanna attach something like that to my SE/30. But does this cable look non-removable? I've given it as firm a tug as I care to... nothing. Also, if anyone has a PDF of...

    SE/30 PSU Upgrade

    Hey all! This time, I'm not running a thousand tabs so I hopefully I end up posting in the right forum. Hahaha. My bad/ADHD's bad! I'm looking at this PSU for my SE/30, and I think the B variant (5v, 12v, -12v) should meet all SE/30 needs. Yes? The product sheet is attached. I know I can do...

    Hot Air Nozzles

    Hey y'all! I'm about to buy my first hot air nozzle(s). I wanted to get recommendations on what nozzles you like, why you like them, and in what conditions they are useful. I can see myself using hot air to do anything from removing/installing small SMD components to reballing large-ish chips...
