Here's a video I just made just now which gives a detailed overview of what I've said in this thread and what the actual problems are. I also covered the recent Github discussion about the GBSC and 1024x768 resolution.

Some don't fault Mouser for that but I do. It's maddening. Console5 is an alternative for some people because kits are always in stock and there are no out-of-stock capacitor games to play, but they don't have every kit needed, and it's not easy to figure out the part numbers and specs of...

The issue now is OUTPUT RESOLUTION. My unmodified GBS-8200 can output to VGA in 640x480, 800x600, and 1024x768, but if you mod the GBS with the EPS8266 (making it into a GBSC), 1024x768 resolution is not supported, which is an issue because my EYOYO display's native resolution is 1024x768. I...

Found several articles about the little guy, starting with this one here: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Nick-Gillard-unveils-pico-mac-nano-A-62mm-tall-Macintosh-Classic-built-using-a-WaveShare-Pico-Zero-Raspberry-Pi-board.1025525.0.html Says that 480x342 pixels were chosen for the tiny display...

It's good to hear MacEffects will be restocked with Reloaded boards. Thanks for the update, Kai! (y) Now, in regards to what @callanbrown wrote on 4/2/2025, I can only suggest that we ALL should prepare for what will happen when we pass away. Hopefully, that won't happen for many more decades...

Thank you for making time to test, photograph and post such a detailed reply. I sincerely appreciate your time, @Daniel Hansen . Tremendously helpful! My comments... 1. The shape and overall look of on-screen text I see when viewing the output of my IIc on the EYOYO display has never been...

No…

Dealing with Mouser’s incessant changes is a full time job, so because they are still in stock I’m not going to waste time swapping them out for now. There are always replacements, so I’m not worried, but sometimes the only replacements available have slightly inferior specs (often ESR). So...

Spotted this today: https://www.1bitrainbow.com/parts-store.php?products_id=4428 NOTE: the URL above sometimes opens a page with a search field, for reasons I don’t understand. If you get a search page, just type in “pico“ and do a search and you’ll find the product in the results...

The question asked in my previous post still stands, but I did a little more digging and found the following 2 points to ponder: 1. The video by RetroRGB (Robert "Bob" Neil) oddly does NOT link to the same ESP2866 board shown in his video — the Weymos D1 Mini. Instead, it links to the this...

Thank you for your kindness in answering my questions. The GBS-8200 board, which in my case is currently stock (no ESP8266 installed yet), is outputting 1024x768 by VGA and the EYOYO monitor is confirming such. Meaning, the EYOYO is confirming its in its native resolution. However, there is...

Yes. But as shown in my Big Copper Heatsink video, if the heatsink bottom and 040 top aren’t perfectly flat, it is possible that the tape made not make uniform contact across the entire top of the CPU. Which means heat would only be transferred to the heatsink at points of tape contact. The...

Again, I am no expert on these SWIM chips, nor do I have experience toying with them as you are. But any signal-level pins like RESET, DEV or even Address lines shouldn't be requiring a lot of current, so using pull-up or even pull-down resistors should be very safe and achieve your aims too...

Well, for important matters like this, I myself wouldn't trust ChatGPT, and I see you aren't either, which is good. We must also try to never "assume" either, which of course is why you are speaking to me in this thread. Well, the only thing I can do is what you can do — find pinouts and...

That's neat because when I use my Micron Xceed MacroColor 30HR video card with an external display, the internal 9" CRT can't display anything, as shown below...

@Daniel Hansen I've got some questions for you at the bottom of my post, but please allow me to first explain my situation... I've grown weary of display issues pertaining to my Apple IIc and my Eyoyo 10" IPS SVGA (1024x768 native) Display. The monitor is a wonderful size and is all black...

ANSWER: Yes! My thread about Heatsinking the 040 is here: https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/68040-cpu-heatsink-clip-for-color-classic-mystic-lc575-motherboard.4349/ And to supplement that thread, please note that I made two videos about heatsinking an 040 on the LC575 below, and those were...

The -8 at the end shows they are the slow 80ns type, which is typical for stock VRAM in the LC575. To get the most out of either Kay Koba's Spicy O'Clock or 475 OverClock, you need faster VRAM. Yes, there are the lazy folk who make due with slower overclocks because they don't want to buy...

@This Does Not Compute Wow! Your compiled info is what everyone needs to know! Thank you! More specifically, you name the Analog Board to Chassis screws as being MCMASTER 92525A205, which I Googled here: https://www.fastenersuperstore.com/products/299084/self-tapping-screws Pricing of more...
