How is it 7.24GB in size?!As long as it doesn't put you off the hobby
Might be a good way to learn KiCAD.

Is there a pin diagram for the Perch slot available online?
Is it wrong that I am loving drawing up the schematic?It's all the pictures of cheesecake they've hidden in the settings files
Hey, I just spent the time since dinner measuring the dimensions of every cap in a PSU. I'm not going to criticise. Last week I sat mapping out some of the Q610 logic board (need to do more on that) for a silly project.
And I owe you some pics... will try to get over to you in the next few days.
I'm not allowing myself to get any new Macs, as the several that I have each have so many secrets and surprises that keep me busy. Each one is a journey. I want to have the honour of being the first person outside of Apple Dev to get built-in USB working on a beige Mac.
I've been mostly working through my backlog this year, but I did buy a 400MHz iMac logic board this evening. It looks like it could lead to a fun project and was £10.
I have a 7100, a beige G3 with dodgy video and a LW600 to sort, some power supplies, then I might do the PB145.
Ahh... mine might all be Whispers then... need to check - but think they are all mic & headphone only.
Some might have the USB footprint anyway...

You can tell at a glance which have the USB footprint, as the audio jacks are shifted over (further away from the modem slot).
I think, it's impossible to say. My guess is that it was a marketing decision. Maybe Apple (or even Steve) made a last minute call to have USB be exclusive to the 'New World'/translucent plastics image. What do you think?
This makes a lot of sense actually.
The Beige G3 has a few other prototyping quirks, like the cache slot and PC floppy footprints.
Are there any other notable examples of this sort of thing on Old World Macintoshes?
