    Quadra 700 vertical feet

    bbraun's vertical feet (with OpenSCAD source, much superior to a random STL): https://web.archive.org/web/20200507223308/www.synack.net/~bbraun/mac3d/ For what it's worth, my horizonal feel (also with OpenSCAD source): https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3934858

    Notes on refurbishing a SE/30

    Update: use a 680µF/400V capacitor to replace the 620.  The 560 doesn't smooth the line voltage out enough -- the screen will wobble after things warm up a bit.  (the old capacitor actually measured at around 670 FWIW) Mouser part number 5985-381-400V680 works fine.  The original is spade...

    Recommended ROM version for Radius PrecisionColor 8•24X?

    Hello, We have two Radius PrecisionColor 8•24X cards (one in my 950, one in her 700 -- thanks, Jim!).  Mine came with ROM revision 1.2.1 (295-0005-04-A), and hers with 1.02 (295-0005-02-A). To keep things consistent, I burned a 27c256 with 1.2.1 and put it into her card.  It's working well...
