Working on my powerpc challenge post thing.

Getting there.....

Just wanted to say that was some amazing work on the Kodak digitizer upgrade.

My latest acquisition - a very clean Powerbook 180 - still has the flap on the back and three batteries!

Hi buchankn,

is there a chance that you can post the new 2.0 firmware that you've created? This would save me and others the need to retrace your steps. I can also share with you a link to my Google share to post there.

Best,

Hello Dave,

TD Game server will be shortly offline until 2100hrs tomorrow at the latest for maintenance and upgrade.

Currently looking to spec out my G4. Any advice?

This is peak design

TD Game server going offline for maintenance and upgrade at 1900hrs UK time - should be up by 2100hrs UK time

Grew up in 8 bit times with Radio Shack Mod1 and Mod3. Never had a Macintosh until I bought my first one from eBay in 2000. I have 14 now and 2 Lisa Mac XL's. I'm retiring soon and will spend my new time learning how to replace capacitors for these.

Picked up this sweet WinBook XL laptop up off eBay. Desktop Pentium MMX, floppy and CD built in, and a real OPL3.

Good morning. I saw your site on Mac84 tonight and noticed you needed a IIci logic board photo for your capacitor page. I'm prepping for recapping this one so I thought I would grab a shot and send it your way for inclusion on your site.
FYI, your IIci page states the axials are 16v, but mine are 25v nichicon SE(M) series.

Thanks!

And also fun fact: The 170 is the best System 6 laptop Apple ever made - and one of the few able to run it, along with the Portable, 100, 140, and the 145!

Just soldered up and installed a V2 BlueSCSI into my PowerBook 170 - it’s had it hinge mounts replaced, RAM maxed to 8MB, and now this. Just need to replace its interconnect board to get internal sound working again and it’s finished.

Thanks to @jcm-1 for his assembled BlueSCSI complete with LED. Massive performance increase on my SE/30.
The Speedometer 3 scores for the Internal and External BlueSCSI on are the left side of the screenshots compared with the SCSI2SD.

Hi Steve,

Got a Mac Iifx revA board with bonded batteries, has been on its side while this happened, at visual inspection after cleaning it seems traces were minimal damaged but the goop went al over the board between the ram slots and the back plater and a lot of the chip pons are damaged/corroded.

Most boards I see are Rev B boards, would it be worth the effort to repair?

Just attached some photo's
