I’m hoping to save this 040 chip, soldered to one of @zigzagjoe’s QFP2PGA boards. I ground two corners with a Dremel to be able to attach repair wires to the missing pins, which were lost to corrosion. Might give you some ideas for yours @jmacz

My SE/30s are very ill. Stock PSU issues, mostly. They’re recapped, but their +5V rails are too low. I might try tweaking the voltage pot - but +12V is already quite high.
made me one of these.
Anyone know anything about this mystery USB Port '0' on the Yosemite board? (Next to the firewire module)
Hit 94.7MHz bus speed on the Beige today, it’s stable but the clock generator can’t seem to handle more. I have some ideas to push it further.
I want a PM6100 now.
Beige G3 running a 87.3MHz bus.
Swapped out the reference crystal.
ASP still thinks it’s 83.3.
Me complaining about my Beige G3 23 years ago lol
I really wanted to like Mac OS X when it came out, but I couldn’t. It took buying my first MacBook Pro in 2007 to properly feel comfortable with it.
My PowerBook 165 keeps on finding new ways to piss me off. Now, it cold boots without sound or trackball/keyboard input. After doing a hard shutdown, and powering on again, it works normally. What in the hell… I’ve already replaced so many parts in this machine.
Good progress today fixing a 24X
I disassembled my QuickTake 100 all the way, it has a tonne of electrolytic caps which I didn’t know about. Some are very well hidden. Anyone interested in a write-up?
I wanted to test out my PowerBook 100 series modems, so I got two of them talk to each other directly, with all the associated sounds of nostalgia. Only at 2400bps though
I found a better use for the shoe rack.
Funny how GLUCHIP and NUCHIP rhyme on a IIcx motherboard
Damnit, got a second hand passive matrix display to replace my other faulty one… and it developed these lines after recapping.
I got another of these 040s removed from a donor board in under a minute flat, with a Bosch heat gun from underneath. I gave it hell. @jmacz knows my pain, this glue is still all over the pins...
You can hook up a Classic board to an SE chassis (they’re different pinouts so you have to rewire) although the picture is overdriven and inverted. I bet it wouldn’t be too hard to make an adapter.
Beware glued down Freescale chips. Messy
