    Hi - getting a Platinum is very near the top of my list. Some kind of trade could definitely be done, did you want an Atari 400? I have a Mac-Con pass-through PDS ethernet card for SE30. Sony VAIOs, PCG21212W (small, cute, white) and PCG-8M1P (Pentium 4, huge). Ans money of course!

    Re-finish IO shield for SE/30 reloaded?

    Depending on where you live a nearby metal shop may be able to bead blast and then galvanize it for you?

    iifx too far gone

    You can buy NuBus connectors - DIN 41612 is what they go by on electronics distributors like Digikey and they are usually in stock, still in use in many systems.

    Questions about Meow Toast battery replacement

    I originally bought a 3D printer to solve the problem of positioning a replacement keyboard inside an Amiga 1200, but these days I do more printing and designing than vintage computing. It's a lot of fun!

    9" Monitor alignment tool?

    They have become a little bit rare. I would 3D print one or just take a plastic shaft (big knitting needle perhaps) and shape it on a belt sander.

    fixable or should i just order a replacement pcb now?

    I'm guessing no, great opportunity to move to a new PCB - but you won't know until it's clean.

    3D Printing The Notorious DB19!

    I did a similar thing for the also-unobtainable DB23: https://aeberbach.github.io/posts/2021-08-26-amiga-db23/ STL files: https://www.printables.com/model/81148-db23-plug-for-amiga-floppy-drive I can probably dig up the Solidworks source files if anyone wants them. I found the biggest problem...

    Mac Mini 1.5GHz CPU question

    Yes Apple labelled the 1.5GHz as 1.42GHz (at least the one I had, which did have the 64MB VRAM) - officially the 1.5GHz didn't exist. You can look up the serial number.

    A "touchy" subject

    I've experienced 240V mains a few times, it's never something you want to repeat. But this has been on a wooden floor, wearing shoes, one-handed. There's no calculating how bad it will be @smrieck511 - the consequences can depend on your personal conductivity and vulnerability, the path from the...

    Did the 68k machine have a presence in the demoscene?

    Probably the Radius Rocket was faster, yes, but available when the IIfx launched? How much later did the first Amiga 040 appear? There's probably a youtube video about exactly who had the lead in the race to Mac faster in the 90s.

    Did the 68k machine have a presence in the demoscene?

    At the time of the IIfx... the fastest Mac you could get was an Amiga 68030 @50MHz running a Mac emulator, and it worked out far cheaper then the real Mac too. 68k Macs were great for many reasons but demo capabilities were definitely not one.

    My Macintosh Quadra 700 Clean Up and Fixes

    Beautiful job, I would not have picked that the color was not quite perfect. Is there a video or blog illustrating that JB Weld technique for old case repair?

    Best SE/30 revision Logic Board?

    Definitely the one with metal SIMM clips and socketed processor. That said, keep both.
