Yeah I have been wrapped up in designing an Atari 8 bit computer to laptop conversion I am trying to finish for VCF Socal so ive been deep into modeling that and my printer has been running non stop... The problem with the pismo packs is that darn curvy design is going to be a bit tricky to...

You can get a new lead acid battery on amazon. I have a replica of the original battery case if you have a 3d printer and want to make one.

Well I never made the 3d printable model yet but i ended up making two of them that worked out great using the existing case plastics I was able to pry open carefully. The get about 3 hours runtime. I need to electronics out of one to make one. if you want to send me yours I can crack it open...

Cool, glad it worked for you. I believe the newer BlueSCSI boards address the issue as well. The PowerBooks 100 series also need the fix.

I’ve rebuilt one pack last week (for me) and used one of the two out of 4 packs that I was able to crack open with minimal damage. The cells I am using are working great and are the actual mah they claim to be. I am getting up to 6 hours runtime on a charge. I have yet to model the geometry for...

And make sure all those connectors between the logic board and analog board are good!

For what it’s worth I did the diode mod a couple weeks ago on my Mac plus with 4mb ram and using a BlueSCSI V2 WiFi external and have had no issues with it at all. I think that when you did the mod it caused your board to pull a little more current and that finished off whatever was barely...

I found this a long time ago with my portable and then my pb180. It’s a timing issue when powering the BlueSCSI back up. I “fixed” it back then by jumping power from the floppy drive over to the BlueSCSI so when it wakes up it powers the BlueSCSI immediately before the machine tries to access...

Delays… delays…. But it’s on the to do list.

Did this isolate where the bad ram is ? I need get my board out again and see if I can fix it.

Yeah I realized that after I jarred out of my memory.

Ok I remember now. It was the System Rest. In older system 6.0.8 you hold option down and click “minutes until sleep” text in the Portable cdev

Probably not helpful and I don’t have a battery eliminator but I can recall that when I was having the wake from sleep issues early on where the machine would freeze for about 3 minutes after wake up when using the BlueSCSI, I had worked around it by forcing the computer to never sleep. i...

For the ram? Yes. Not a fix. A bandaid. It was an issue addressing the full 7MB so he made a mod daughter board so you could change it to 5MB. Later version had the mod built into the board. you could have sent the board to him and he would add the daughter board with the switch on it.

nice fix. That board is different than mine. Mine has a power connector on the bottom left and that’s where I’m jumpering 5v to gf the floppy drive to it to do the sleep fix originally. just to clarify and refresh my memory there were two sleep related issues back then • taking several minutes...

does your bluescsi.ini start with [SCSI] ? should be: [SCSI] WiFiSSID=Old-Mac-Net and maybe addd: WiFiPassword= and leave it blank?

OH that makes more sense! I was a bit confused there lol

If you mean made some of your own silicone tubing, ya I’ve make a ton of replicated parts using that Smooth-On mold making silicone to make the molds and then cast in resin. You could use a hard shore silicone as the mold and then a softer shore to cast in. Could probly even 3d print one to use...

I have that also! 😂 I bought the 1mm first since it was all I could find and quickly learned that it doesn’t work. I glued it and then that made things even worse. Eventually that .8mm one showed up and I redrew it Now so I have like 20 feet of .1 and .8 tubing now.

Here’s a link to what I purchased: https://www.ebay.com/itm/233743229586?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=xJZQsVTjQLO&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=vQ425jH5TBq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Had to buy 10 feet of the stuff so ya. I have a lifetime worth 😆 looks like it’s still available...
