    30pin simm board layout

    Is there any existing board layout for a 30pin simm? I'm not sure if it's just me, but I've started encountering a larger number of failing simms these days.

    NeXTStation Video Problem

    Resurrecting a few 128k/512k boards

    I think I got my stash from a s-100 RAM board. If you are patient you can probably find one cheap.

    Reverse Engineering the Macintosh SE PCB & Custom Chips for 1:1 reproduction

    I have a few SE boards and wouldn't mind assembling one of these repros for testing. Sounds like fun. If there's a spare let me know. Definitely +1 for the SE/30 board!
