First off I know what you're thinking, those aren't retro! I didn't think so either, then I remembered the original version came out in 2005.... I guess these are officially vintage now! I have a pile of xbox 360 boards I have been keeping for years back form when I used to repair these...

Something I have been working on recently: It's a near 1:1 reproduction with some minor rerouting where this made sense. Boards are on order, should be here in a couple of weeks Not much more to say (other than thanks to @Kai Robinson for providing the donor board I used) you have all seen...

It's that time of year again, time for a new clone! Really I should be working on the LC 475 board but 6 layer boards and desoldering 208pin QFP's is not seeming appealing at the moment so another project was needed I have been after a Apple II for a while but they go for way more money in the...

Me and @jajan547 are currently working on creating a replica of the Apple Techstep This will be a functional and (mostly) electrical clone of the original but will not be a exact 1:1 copy as the design will be optimised where changes can be made to make the board easier or cheaper to assemble...

Normally the LCIII is limited to 36MB of RAM - 4MB onboard and one 32MB SIMM The simms are limited to 32MB as there are only 11 address lines hooked up to the RAM SIMM socked so larger sticks won't work (The will typically show up as 16 or 32MB) However while creating a pin listing for the...

Quite a few years ago I got my hands on a Quadra 840av for a very reasonable price (£20) I wasn't really looking for a Q840 and tried to avoid buying it, but no one else at the sale I got it from seemed interested in it and given it's very reasonable price I couldn't resist it in the end! That...

It's time for another one! The LC II went much quicker than expected so it's time to start on a board I have been looking at for a while - the IIcx The IIcx in question was actually purchased as a repair project until I noticed the board had layer marks, and to my surprise it was a 4 layer...

With the (hopefully) final revision of the LC 1 board and the second revision of the LC III both with JLCPCB for manufacture it;s time to turn my attention to the LCII. This was initially going to be the second board LC board I worked on before that pesky LCIII board distracted me... The boards...

This is a ongoing project to create a 1:1 replica of the original Macintosh LC Logicboard This project is in a fairly advanced state now, The board has been drawn up and V1.0 boots with a few patches and one trace cut: This board has been fully tested and everything on it works, Not bad for a...

This is a ongoing project to create 1:1 replica's of the Macintosh LC III Logicboard Most of the hard work has hopefully been done on this one, a V1.0 PCB has been drawn up and sent off for manufacture: I'm currently awaiting the boards from china, should be here by mid next week More updates...
