DC Board Update Wirewound resistor (Digikey Link, I just bought one from Farnell, also available on Mouser but not on Arrow at the moment) + Can be placed anywhere (not only on the PCB itself). Ideally close to the fan where it does not interfere with the PSU's heatsinks. + Should be way over...

Notifications are on but I wasn't made aware of any activity. Happy to see someone else working on this project! One thing to keep in mind @WillJac PLEASE double check the pinout on the Quadra side before you plug it in! The cables were meant to be soldered without a header and I am pretty...

The thing is, I don't think there is a particular setup that makes sense for all non-AINSI users. I am familiar with three layouts: QWERTZ (German), AZERTY (French) and to get out of a pickle when for example the tilde key is hardcoded to some function (console for example), the US AINSI...

@Crutch The CD Access bug is not present on real hardware. No idea why it causes Basilisk to crash with that extension enabled. I use the same HD image... Looking forward to the next version! Hopefully with the White Box fix and (?) with adjustable keyboard shortcuts, as using it with anything...

Correct! I also have LiteSwitch (pretty awesome... allows you to switch between apps with Cmd-Tab) but it was not the issue. My problem was caused by Apple's Photo CD Access extension. Once removed it works fine in Basilisk. Again, I'll have to try on a real Mac soon to verify that! @Crutch Do...

Just wow! From an idea to functioning code working on an old Mac in how long? :) Even more impressed! Will have to try out on the SE/30 on Saturday. On Basilisk, if I set the keyboard to the US Layout, I get a bomb with the unimplemented trap error. But at least the popup is there! This is...

Wow, again I'm impressed @Crutch ! My target system is 7.5.1 (I never upgraded my SE/30's original install), I know there's been some important under the hood changes between 7.5.1 and 7.5.5 but I don't remember if sound was modified... The main system volume would make the most sense, and if...

Hello everyone, Looking for an extension which lets you turn the volume up/down using key combinations. I found a few programs that could do the job, but I am pretty sure I've seen one in the past that had a OSX-like overlay like this: Other suitable programs for reference...

I never paid that much attention to SE Serials, but now that you mention it, here's what I've got SE FDHD that was officially upgraded to an SE/30 - CK0020SPB02. The label at the back is, as you showed in your post, special to this upgrade. SE FDHD (non upgraded) - CK017341B01 SE 1/20 (bought...

Amazing work! just my 2 cents: 1/ Some Micons had a toggle at the back to switch between the internal and external display. Could this be implemented in @GeekDot's new ROM? Sign me up for two of these if you can manage that! I'd love to set up one of my SE/30s with the 50MHz 030 and a color...

Success! The switch fits the opening! It almost looks like it's meant to be there from the factory. There's only one small inconvenience: the tabs on the switch are slightly narrower compared to the ones Apple/Delta used. In order to keep things as simple as possible (and to prevent...

Hi @Johnnya101 Unfortunately this mod only targets the Delta PSU found in the Quadra 900/950 and in the Workgroup Server 95/9150. In other news, I may have found a power switch that almost fits the C13 "Monitor Output" opening at the back. I wasn't comfortable with DC being on the AC board...

@ktkm Great to hear it's back up and running. I guess the PSU's safety "switch" could have kicked in for a bit, or the caps are weak... Again, I know this really sounds like an old tune but how do you plug it in? Do you have a switched outlet? Also, where did you get that stand? The one I got...

@ktkm What are the exact symptoms? What's happening with the key in the lock position? Does the relay even click? Did it trip your breaker? I only know of two failure modes: AC short to ground (almost caused a fire and killed my floppy drive) and 5V resets. As a temporary solution I'd build...

@cheesestraws all good m8 ;) but yes, building things so that they'll work everywhere in the world isn't that easy. @joshc It looks definitely better, maybe you could give evaporust a go? I've only heard great things about the product, even from 68KMLAers. I'm not sure painting is possible...

Hi there, The thought has never crossed my mind. But yes, this is Alternating Current 101. I don't really know how the US electrical system works so I might be wrong. The plugs are polarized so the fuse should always be inline with the live wire (not always the case in Germany because the...

Re that mains PCB, although I tripple/quadruple insulted the traces that have mains power (and protected the underside with a polyurethane sheet), I just don't feel safe having DC voltages for the Softpower relay on the AC board. I think I'll ditch the power outlet in my next build (yes, spoiler...

I guess that wasn’t a GFCI outlet? I used to run my SE/30 on an unearthed plug back at my parent’s place in Paris. Kinda glad I never did that IIsi Pivot hack... The apartment did have some kind of protection though, as I remember that one of my Tape Backup 40SCs kept tripping the breaker.

Hi trag, You are just far more knowledgable than me on those SCSI 53C9x chips and explained it quite well in the other thread so I didn't need to rephrase everything. The point of the quote was actually an indirect question and I should have phrased it differently: The SCSI2SD v6 supports...

Alternatively, if you can find a 64 pin socket, you should be able to build your own SIMM-Programmer: https://code.google.com/archive/p/mac-rom-simm-programmer/
