Not sure there are many purists around here. Mine has a colour cycling power LEDIt feels like purists are going to scream at me for daring to suggest 'fixing' the IIci

However, I don't like the cache slot. With schematics, it should be reasonably easy (famous last words!) to rewire it in a 'true' PDS'030 compatible with the SE/30 and IIsI
With just a few small changes, you could also replace the 68030 with a Raspberry Pi!I don't think purists would use a recreation anyway.
There is a full Schematic to go with it, I went with a traceing becuse if someone else has worked out the board routing why reinvent the wheelAnother awesome piece of work Pure tracing, or is there some associated schematics?
Already on my radar, Will need some significant rerouting of the bottom of the board and proably require deleting the parity circuit (But how many people actually have parity boards, I couldn't even find a picture of one!). Will be looking at modifications once I have tested the stock boardsAlso, perhaps those 30-pins SIMM could be replaced by a pair of space-saving 72-pin SIMMs
Don't tell the purists but I have a IIci where I replaced the 68030 with a Ryzen 5 2600With just a few small changes, you could also replace the 68030 with a Raspberry Pi!

There would be missing parts, the IIsi is sort of half IIci, half LC and a bit unique.Can I build this using IIsi donor parts? I have a spare, bombed board without case…
I‘d be happy without NuBus slots…
I would assume Max is using SprintPCB, as that offers trace-over-background functionality.What did you use to trace the PCB?

Currently assembling them, might take a little while
ThanksNice work look absolutely amazing.
Nope, personally I don't like soldering PLCC or QFP parts with paste, I find I end up spending more time fixing bridges than if I just hand solder them. Will be hand soldering the lotAre you going to use stencils and solder paste?
OK thanks make sense, such a complex board with just two layers seemed unlikely. The inner-for-ground-and-power setup is fairly standard, I should have guessed. So no margin for adjustment from that (6 layers is just too freaking expensive at JLCPCB, at least for now).The boards are 4 layers, Signals all on the outer layers with power on the inner, I have the inners layers hidden in those pictures as otherwise you would just see a solid block
