    Radeon 9250 now working on MacOS 7.6.1

    Hah, this is fantastic! Wish I had the hardware to test it.

    SE/30 VIA chip replacement

    Good info, thanks for posting this. Would be interesting to scope it and see what's going on. I also had a post from macmike in a thread I started about Reloaded board troubleshooting where he mentioned issues with the WDC VIA and the RTC...

    SE/30 reloaded board hang at boot

    Nice work! I have some of those sitting around, still need to program them.

    Mac SE/30 restoration (and mild mod plans)

    Hmm, in that screenshot, it doesn't seem to be working. Maybe you just need to go into the control panel and switch from 24-bit to 32-bit mode?

    Mac SE/30 restoration (and mild mod plans)

    Nice work. Better get MODE32 or a new ROM so you can use all that RAM! The recap should really be a high priority. Cap leakage wreaks such havoc on these boards.

    SIMM 'bank clips' for broken plastic retention clips

    Absolutely. I will post the model here and Thingiverse, as well as the original design files for anyone who may want to make modifications. I am confident that this is well within my 3D modeling capabilities, and I should be able to turn it around in a week or less. I am also happy to send you...

    Macintosh SE/30 logicboard recreation (thread revival)

    I know Bolle has mentioned that "Certain low power ATF16V8B don't work." I assume this refers to the ATF16V8BQL. Has anyone tried any of the half or quarter-power GAL16V8s or PALCE16V8s? Just wondering if it might be possible to reduce the heat generated by the PALs.

    SEthernet and SEthernet/30: A new take on PDS Ethernet

    I believe later SEs have the window in the metal chassis for a vertical PDS card; the same as an SE/30, basically. If you have one of those, you could build your Performer with a wire-wrap female PDS connector like this one, then build the SEthernet with a right-angle male PDS connector so it...

    Sourcing Legit MC68882 FPUs - Data

    Rolled the dice on eBay on one that looked like it might be legit, and this is what showed up. Total fake. Bummer.

    SE/30 ROM Socket Question

    I think you may have gotten very lucky here. That appears to be pin 30, which is a ground. There are two other grounds on the connector, on pins 10 and 64. 30 and 64 are tied together, at least on the factory SIMM that I tested, so as long as pin 64 is good, you should be fine without pin 30.

    SIMM 'bank clips' for broken plastic retention clips

    Wow! I would love to get one of those tools to design a replica for 3D printing.

    Nostalgia PC Build

    When I figured out what you were doing, and saw all the cutting, I thought "this guy is either brilliant or insane." After seeing the finished product, I vote brilliant. Nicely done.

    Troubleshooting GLUE, C32M, and C16M

    Interesting. The machine should still boot in that condition though, shouldn't it? Seems to me that the time just wouldn't advance.
