    Mac Classic - available sockets for MicroMac Performer?

    Thruhole PLCC68 sockets seem to be available. Is this what folks have been saying is unobtanium? https://www.ebay.com/itm/235031138033 There seem to be a few listings for thruhole sockets and plenty for SMT Socket listings. The sockets on Performer boards for the Classic look...

    The best tiny Compact Mac REPLICA I've seen!

    Darn, bet it would be cool in a little Macintosh carry bag on a keychain though. :p

    SCREWS for SE & SE/30 Analog Board to Metal Chassis

    Don't force fit a mismatch like that. For the bolts, go with drilling and tapping for a standard thread transplant. For the black sheet metal screws, they've always bothered me, but the metal may be too thin at those points for using a bolt in like manner?

    Feasibility of connecting a PCI GPU to a MiniPCI slot

    I tend to hate it when folks give this kind of advice, but it may be time to look your retro-computing gift horse in the mouth? Unless you're needing portability (which likely can't be the case given an attempt to kluge a full on PCI card onto a laptop board?) you may be spending good money on...

    Radius Full Page Display for Macintosh 512ke/Plus - Cloning project possibilities?

    Wondering about that pair of unpopulated chips again, 8Mbit ROM came in that 40pin DIP package. Wondering if they were there just in case the code couldn't be optimized to fit into the ROM that wound up on the board?

    Radius Full Page Display for Macintosh 512ke/Plus - Cloning project possibilities?

    First, on the fly run at the Radius TPD with Extron Scaler. Managed this right out of the box, without reading the manual or any experience at all. Got SuperMac Spec8 SI running just about right with image at lower right corner of the 42" 1080p TV next to the SE over HDMI. No banding at all...

    Radius Full Page Display for Macintosh 512ke/Plus - Cloning project possibilities?

    Been looking at the Radius FPD and TPD Cards for the SE for the possibility of cloning them. Started with the TPD, with its Bt9014 PLCC44 Programmable Logic Array complication. Was hoping it might be involved only with combining all the signals into just the one Mini BNC signal setup. But to no...

    Seeking Help Identifying Video Card in Mac IIcx (Restoration Project)

    Couldn't find Datasheet on the memory. Looks like they're using that EuroDIN connector for the memory card. wondering if the second one is for a DSP card?

    Seeking Help Identifying Video Card in Mac IIcx (Restoration Project)

    Definitel install and run it, standard SOP for identifying unmarked cards. Very interesting NuBus Passthru? That's almost certainly a a VidCard given the ROM legend. But does the DA-15 have standoffs for screwing down a video cable or a frame for connecting a NIC's ThickNET connector?

    Nikon D750 - at long last, THE digital camera for documentation!

    Finally got the copy stand set up and the D750/Macro Lens fired up! Cards are set up on Nylon Standoffs so traces on Solder and Component sides are on the same plane at same distance from sensor. The pics wind up in AI8 at same size, if scaled down to 25% due to lack of sufficient...

    Rug Rat lives in Philly, so only 80 minute drive, I'd love to go . . . just maybe?

    Who's Going to VCF Swap Meet at InfoAge in June?

    That's in Wall, NJ? When these threads pop up, locations, dates, hours and links to the event in the IP would be most helpful. ;) edit: linkage https://vcfed.org/2025/04/28/vcf-swap-meet-june-7-2025-in-wall-nj/

    ITXPlus: A ITX Sized Macintosh Plus Logicboard Reproduction

    Fabulous! Absolutely amazing achievement, max. One thing to look at. Scaling looks a bit stretched left to right to me. Is that just my perception or true? Throw a circle onscreen in a MacPaint or better. If it's elongated, scaling adjustment would remove some of the letterboxing? Not picking...

    Sorry to be late to the party! Been searching all over the place found this and linking to this: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/radius-tpd-se-up-and-running-on-an-lcd-no-less.33403/ Never got quite all the way there, but a starting point if you're thinking of having another go at it.

    Logic Analyzer + AI = ?

    WOW! Amazing results. Imagination is racing ATM! Hope these flights of fancy make some sense: Cannot wait to ask Claude to design what he needs to use RPi/Arduino/whatever hardware and the PCB for it to run as an automated Logic Analyzer. It'd connect over USB in its reverse engineering...
