    PowerMac 9600 Fan plug

    Sendcutsend customer service said that in general their different sheet metal products were conductive enough for a low power computer fan, but they couldn't really tell me what the best material was unfortunately. I didn't realize the blue steel would lose color but I believe it has been heat...

    PowerMac 9600 Fan plug

    Here's the dxf! Xometry has so much more options, but the minimum price is a bit higher. I'm thinking of testing their anodized copper 101. ( https://www.xometry.com/materials/ ), they can get it down to 0.5mm. I have some blue steel parts from sendcutsend that are 0.15mm; that induction heater...

    PowerMac 9600 Fan plug

    I've gone through several revisions over the past year to make a connector through the sendcutsend website for the 9600 case fan. This seems to work decent in terms of shape, but the thinnest cold rolled steel is 0.8 mm which is still super thick and cumbersome. CRS is the easiest to bend. Since...

    PM9600: No video out

    Was there ever any luck for a bug fix on the 9200 ROM? Would any of these new ROM parsers help identify the issue?

    Design68: A 65% replacement keyboard using AppleDesign controllers

    is there a way to get the controller from somewhere if I don't have a spare AEK? This looks really nice.

    168-pin 5V schematics

    Since 168-pin 5V ram is so scarce, and usually only found as FPM, I have received some KM44C16104BK-4 chips that should work great for the PowerMac 9600. I have one stick of 128MB FPM ram that I would have to sacrifice to trace the schematics but I would prefer not to do that if anyone happens...

    Any SE/30 reloaded group buys going on?

    I would be willing to add to the order to buy 1 or 2 boards if this helps get a group buy going

    Do any G4 ZIF upgrades run @ 100Mhz bus?

    Hello, Just wanted to provide an update on the ZIF G4 1GHz. I received a response from one of the original lattice engineers: "Wow definitely some old devices, I remember specifying this family back in 1998 😊 Thoughts: Have attached the datasheet of the relevant device family. That and more...

    LCD Monitors for matching Apple design

    It can be fun to finally see a design at the end. Then when any small change needs to be made it gets really frustrating. I wonder how people tolerate the software as a fulltime job but I guess they've had professional training courses and know the right way to do it. I gave up on redoing the...

    LCD Monitors for matching Apple design

    I made some mock-ups of the platinum design theme for color LCD monitors. I can use Fusion to create a 3D model for an lcd panel so it matches. I think using AUO M170ETN01.1 (SXGA) and a controller board with VGA, DB-15, DVI, and HDMI would be a good starting point. Anybody have better company...
