Has anyone other gotten their Plus to boot from a RaSCSI? I've created and formatted multiple disks and installed System 6.0.8, I can see it if I boot from another disk but cannot boot form the RaSCSI alone. Have tried formatting/new drivers with Special HD SC Setup 7.3.5, PLI, Blue Disc...

Lost in the June crash of 2021 were several posts regarding construction of "Poor man's" blueSCSI. Though it does work, by the time you get all of the materials, board, SD holder, you might as well have just ordered the kit. Its a good project though. Multiple trouble shooting posts, wiring...

Hello, This is information from thread that was lost in the June 2021 server crash. It relates to this post so adding it here. It is more information regarding the building of a mouse compatible with Mac Plus and earlier compact macintoshes. The original post indicated with the right Logitech...

Not apple but Atari related, but a conquest, at least for me. It may give additional motivation to attempt (again) a reconstruction of the LCD ribbon for a 180c. Anyway...aside from the center ground of the FPGA (which I couldn't see but assumed I melted with a heat gun), this was all...

I had increased the memory on my color classic today to 8 MB hoping for a speed bump. It's running System 7.1.1 and 32 bit addressing is on, on reading System 7.1.1 has 32 bit quickdraw built in. Abuse and Prince of Persia 2 are not playable secondary to the lag. I thought at least POP would...

Thanks for the link it was very helpful, sorry to repeat  up information that is already out there. ....I have the same video card that you have and it inspired me to reassess and I found that I can shut the case with the 500 watt power supply mounted in that area. So the power supply swap...

......and right on cue that's what I get for giving a definitive answer, I am measuring these but blew this one (maybe got it mixed up with the C127 change).....anyway, was going to take one more look at C286 this afternoon and just replace it and turn on, but when I took it off...yes there is a...

I did measure pin 8 above,  not pin 18. These pictures are of pin 18 of U13....14.35 frequency is there.

Learning and measuring here. I think we've narrowed it down. Sorry about the JPEG format on this post, but moving between computers and file types.

These are the probes....can I even pickup/measure a 1mHz with these?

Looked inside...didn't see anything, but did ruin my Apple Iic ROM when I tried it. Heres a couple of pictures of the logic board incase it helps someone. The Laser ROM is on the bottom of the logic board and is accesible  by removing 2 screws.

Well...proof of concept anyway. The fat lady has not sung.   Going to try this next (https://pmdway.com/products/fpc-ffc-flat-cable-to-through-hole-dip-breakout-board?_pos=192&_sid=3e93c12a8&_ss=r) because the video signal breaks down into 12 small caliber traces. Was going to...

So after ALOT of work as my last action on a working 180c, I replaced the hinge covers closed the top and walked 20 feet inside, plugged in and got a white screen only. I had pinched the LCD cable with the hinge cover then ripped it when I closed. I'm not counting on finding a replacement cable...

A better lucky than good type situation but pretty satisfying. I have a PB180c with a dim/wabbling display and a stripe that I finally got around to recap yesterday.  The cap area was a mess but cleaned up well, but after recap (with hot air..easiest recap yet), the color and brightness were...

1) Pin 8 to the logic board (+12 volts) has capacitors 2 and 25 in parallel and they seem to be intact. It also has 2 resistors (R14 and R15, with the number "100" on them but listed as 10 ohm resistors in the schematic) in parallel. When I measure either R14 or R15 I get a short. Is this really...
