    Converting from CRT to LCD and updating video output in Compact Macs

    Hello! :) I tried to find if there was a thread already here on Tinker Different about this but have not. Some people did talk about it elsewhere, though. So, here I go.

    SE/30 UE8 replacement

    I ordered a 296-33968-5-ND SN74LS166AD from Digi-key to replace my UE8 chip in my SE/30. When I look at the backorder status, it says March 2023! Wow! Is there another chip that will work? Does anyone have one they want to sell? I can confirm that this chip is too big: 296-SN74LS166ANSRCT-ND...

    Two Battery solutions using CR2032 holders

    I have seen several examples of using CR2032 battery holders as replacements for dead half-AA on compact Macs. Using this type of battery has been working fine for me on the SE/30, SE, Mac Classic, and I assume there are other systems that can use this solution as well. This is not news to most...
