. . . title says it all, but a lot of different projects intertwined. I've long wondered about stuffing something interesting into the FDD bay. Big question would be whether or not a PowerBook can be convinced to act as a display for Pi5 via SCSI input. That'd be a ScuzzyGraph in reverse...

Done playing with form factors, time to get on with the technical hurdles: First approximation: I was hoping that patching the three VIA2 signals to the three reserved pins on the SE/30 PDS would be sufficient. Out of curiosity, are those pins grounded. Can't find my continuity tester ATM...

Drat, tried to edit and hit delete? Anyhoo . . . An ancient pipedream got a new lease on life recently at the MLA. I was staring at my beautiful new, black SE/30 board and thinking about one of the IIcx boards @trag has in his hoard for populating his and it finally hit me! SE/30 doesn't...

Should be a simple search right? Do Boolean search string modifiers such as -NPT -pipe etc. no longer work on DuckDuckGo or heaven forbid the evil nightmare Google? Lamp part needed: 1/2-20 nf female to 3/8-24 nf male reducer (female lamp tube thread to male lamp tube thread reducer) I'm ready...

Been very slowly putting together my maxed out 6100 and this little goodie arrived yesterday: Hole saw mod to plastic chassis required as well as ductwork underneath to funnel entire clipped corner square vent grid into the intake of the blower. May fab it as five sided pyramid with plans...

Thinking in terms of TAM/Gazelle and 6360/6400/Alchemy machines. We've got more FW equipped cards working in the problematic TAM of late, so wondering if 100bT or Gigabit external NIC might be an interesting tinkertoy for the boffin crowd?

If possible, would be interesting, thoughts? Best choices for advanced, very high on board cache CPUs available have very specific solder side component requirements. Such makes them compatible only with the CPU card of the 1400. Mounting such a CPU underneath an enlarged memory card would seem...

Another TinkerTale from the crypt resurfaces, but I'm playing with it a bit again after having shelved it for many years. HPV's not supported by the 6100 due to its length which interferes with the OEM 3.5" HDD,. This is no longer a factor in the SD age. I'd riginally planned to use a 2.5"...

Anothe one exhumed from the crypt, pics went away in the original thread: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/macintoshclassiciiicolortvp%E2%84%A2-hack.19802/

Couldn't find a general "Peripherals" forum, is there one and should this be moved there? I think it's time to flesh out what information is available on LEM and wherever else I can dredge it up. Tried to group by series rather than alphabetically. Spectrum/24 v. 1.0 - undocumented - Rev.A...

Outlined the plot for a horror flick over yonder and wondered about checking facts with gang in this forum: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/proposed-plot-for-a-horror-movie.41892/post-454354 Was there any form of bus level expansion before the NeXTcube was released?

Trying to get one of the G4s back up and running for AI playtime. Digital Audio/466-1GB 10.4.11 I'm a licensed user from AI88 up through AI10, but no longer worried about upgrading to anything up to the evil that is RentWare. I've never used OSX very much on purpose, but willing to try it out...

Ludicrous notion of the day! Sorry, I just can't help myself. Short story long, took a pic of my 1400c this morning and got to I wondering wondering how the Rudimentary Tablet next to it might work as a .TXT output display. First thought was stepper controlled by Raspberry Pi. Figured Apple II...

Was wondering if RPi or the like could push USB3 in and out of the rudimentary IDE interface of this series. DuckGo'd for available hardware and found this one that might be ready to roll? https://www.amazon.com/Converter-External-Universal-Function-Software/dp/B00EHDTRJ6 No Driver needed...

Crazy morning musing of the day. Ran across this information on open source hardware and software. https://www.3dsourced.com/rankings/best-diy-3d-scanner/ Scanning my IIfx, Q950 or at least the Radius 81/110 in one piece on a DIY would be epic. CC and smaller would be OK too. Limiting factor...

Came up with this one while not quite awake this morning and spent the rest of wakeup, morning musings over coffee thinking about it. So of course I spent my afternoon in paper/cardboard cutout mockup play. I've been told few can parse my .TXT descriptions, so was this a waste of time...

Has anyone got really high resolution scans of the parts? Never seen 'em. I've been playing with a 1400 PCMCIA cage/daughtercard to Duo HDD bay transplant about as long as the MLA has been around. Just occurred to me that the TREX ASIC would either be on the Blackbird module or would be...

Less sane fork of: https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/how-much-of-the-128k-512k-hardware-has-been-reverse-engineered.1630/ Mac Plus is the perfect platform for this insanity, who hasn't got one to spare? If you have two, but no spare, put 'em in a dark closet for a couple of months. :p How...

Wondering how far off "reloading" a board with reverse engineered hardware might be? Thinking in terms of a new build 128K/512K hybrid board that can go either way at boot, depending upon which side of the repurposed programmer's switch is held down. Has the Integrated Wozniak Machine been...

Found a couple of great links for Laptop KBD conversions: https://www.instructables.com/How-to-Make-a-USB-Laptop-Keyboard-Controller/ https://hackaday.com/2018/12/04/teensy-liberates-the-thinkpad-keyboard/ Conversion of some PowerBook KBDs are listed, but target is the PB1400 KBD, which hasn't...
