    Reverse Engineering the Macintosh Classic PCB for 1:1 reproduction

    Just watched Bruce's final video on his reloaded Classic board build. How awesome is that !? Huge congrats to you @Kai Robinson for the reverse engineering efforts and to Bruce for painstakingly putting that board together and looking for faults too ! 👏 I didn't follow much of the process with...

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

    I think there's a mistake in the Bomarc SE schematics. Pin 2 & 4 of the SND chip are respectively linked to pin 4 & 2 of the VIA chip in the Bomarc schematics but I found out they aren't swapped and pin 2 of the SND chip goes to pin 2 of the VIA chip and same for pin 4. Hope it is...

    Awesome ! Where did you find that ? So, in theory, verifying the components one by one using the Bomarc schematics would be enough to find the issues with your board, right ? If you can forward me a board, that's definitely something I can do ! ;)

    I'm fine, thanks ! I hope everyone's fine as well.  :) Unfortunately, those are the only schematics they chose to include. I would have loved more of them as well. :/ Here they are in 600ppi @quorten.

    Here is a scan of some technical data I've got. It is a low-quality PDF to reduce upload time but I can send the 600ppi version if needed. Those are pages taken out of a Macintosh SE Apple Service binder I have. They are in French but nothing too complicated I hope. :) Have you guys ever...

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

    Hey guys ! I wanted to thank everyone of you who contribute to this project. I have been following it since the beginning and wanted to say a little something. I have no real diagnosing skills but I know how to solder quite well and have lots of compact Macintosh (I have something like 50+...
