Ordered a few and so far so good. Now I'm wondering if there's a similar solution for 68-50. Anyone done a blank one of those?

Also consider taking a look at the MacRescue, which is a great candidate for cloning. Adds up to 6MB RAM (4+2mb ramdisk only) and the Mac Plus SCSI hardware. Just add Mac Plus ROMs. You could extend the design by adding a disable switch + ROM switcher, allowing the 128 to operate as originally...

I have here a Quadra 800 that *only* puts out sync on green no matter what adapter I use. I also have a iisi here and that will put out csync on the hsync line if I configure the adapter right. That same adapter, configured identically, is not putting out sync on the sync lines when plugged into...

This is really impressive. I'll be giving it a try. Thank you so much for this!

I have checked all over the net. All that's left are cheapo ones that do not have high byte termination, which means they work with next to no drives. For that matter I can't seem to find 68-50 adapters with high byte termination either.

Tried the 128GB version of this guy, having high hopes. Doesn't boot. It shipped with the ID already jumpered, but if you remove that jumper it apparently IDs as Slave, which is the reverse of how all actual 2.5 hard drives behave. The Wallstreet's connector extends into the jumper area, so...

I get away with using 32GB CFs in the IDE bay all the time. What brand/adapter are you using? I've had good luck with SanDisk Extreme 32GB cards, and bigger cards up to 128GB should work.

What info about the connected hard drive can it see (try system profiler) and does that info look corrupted? could be a hardware/cable issue

It works!

Could you post a Gerber version of the Wallstreet PCB file? I've been waiting years to be able to rebuild these batteries and this is just the thing to make it as painless as possible.

I'm seeing this too. I swapped a 300 mhz CPU card into a 266 and Apple System Profiler reports it as 450 mhz. Any idea where this is coming from? It's not PRAM because none of the PRAM batteries in these work anymore. I did a PMU reset and there was no change. Maybe something in OpenFirmware?

That looks like it could be the part. Thanks for finding it! I don't want to do a direct wire-up because the LCD has tunneling anyway and I'm hoping to get it baked or replaced at some point.

Does anyone know the make/model/part number of the ribbon cable connector on the PB170 LCD? This would be part of the Hosiden HLR1014 and not in any Apple service manual. I have one here that won't make proper contact even though it's been cleaned and reflowed. Pics for reference(source)...

I'm looking for a replacement CCFL for a Powerbook 160. It was never a separate part number and never sold separately; back in the day the entire LCD assembly, backlight and all, was treated as a whole unit. It is possible today to buy CCFL tubes of the appropriate sizes, so maybe the thing to...

Every panel appears to have a different size CCFL.
