Not a conquest as such as it’s not mine anymore, but here’s my old ANS 700/150 which I gave to a friend 20 years ago, and he’s recently restored!

So I’ve managed to pick up what seems to be a Prototype PowerBook 550. The screen doesn’t work, and it doesn’t have the original 68040 processor (it’s been upgraded to a 167mhz 603), but other than that it’s working. Now the weird thing about this 550 is that it isn’t black like the retail...

I’ve not been well for a while and I just finally felt like I had the energy to come out to my workshop to get some projects done.. I mean clearly I knew how messy it was last time I was in.. but I was rather taken back by how bad it was with fresh eyes.

I’m ill and bored and for some reason this question came to mind.. why does the full sized DuoDocks have an HDI-30 scsi port? I can understand it on the mini dock and other PowerBooks as they supported SCSI Disk mode, but the full duodock doesn’t. It seems a normal DB-25 port woulda made...

Hello! I'm trying to salvage a 2400 logic board that was slightly battery bombed. I've done a few on board repairs and a couple of trace repairs, and it now bongs, but nothing comes on screen (nor external screen). I don't get a GLoD. I'm sure I read on another post a while ago that these...

I’m curious as to if the Performa 630 logic board will work in the 5500 case? I think the connector is the same but I seem to recall the 5500 had a 3.3v rail and I’m not sure if that will cause any problems with the older 630 board.

I’ve acquired a SE/30 board which has no battery or obvious trace damage, which starts up and makes a chime sound but no video output and no signs of it starting up beyond that point. So far I’ve: Cleaned board with isopropyl alcohol Full recap Replaced ROM/Ram from known working SE/30 Replaced...

I figured it was time to start posting some of my recent conquests, and some of my setup! Todays is an Apple Scanner. Not a OneScanner, it predates that (and tbh I wasn’t even aware it existed until a few months ago!) I’ve not yet actually got it to work. It is recognised by ScsiProbe but no...

For the faint of heart, look away now

(Yes I know the board is filthy.. I really need an ultrasonic cleaner)

So picked up a wee 128k Mac for cheap the other day. I could tell from the photos that it was clearly rusty and I didn’t really expect it to be usable, but I wanted it anyway so bought it. Just got it delivered and cracked it open.. I’ve never seen so much rust before.. it’s so bad the...
