Hi - getting a Platinum is very near the top of my list. Some kind of trade could definitely be done, did you want an Atari 400? I have a Mac-Con pass-through PDS ethernet card for SE30. Sony VAIOs, PCG21212W (small, cute, white) and PCG-8M1P (Pentium 4, huge). Ans money of course!
You can buy NuBus connectors - DIN 41612 is what they go by on electronics distributors like Digikey and they are usually in stock, still in use in many systems.
I originally bought a 3D printer to solve the problem of positioning a replacement keyboard inside an Amiga 1200, but these days I do more printing and designing than vintage computing. It's a lot of fun!
I did a similar thing for the also-unobtainable DB23: https://aeberbach.github.io/posts/2021-08-26-amiga-db23/

I can probably dig up the Solidworks source files if anyone wants them.
I found the biggest problem...
Yes Apple labelled the 1.5GHz as 1.42GHz (at least the one I had, which did have the 64MB VRAM) - officially the 1.5GHz didn't exist. You can look up the serial number.
I've experienced 240V mains a few times, it's never something you want to repeat. But this has been on a wooden floor, wearing shoes, one-handed. There's no calculating how bad it will be @smrieck511 - the consequences can depend on your personal conductivity and vulnerability, the path from the...
Probably the Radius Rocket was faster, yes, but available when the IIfx launched? How much later did the first Amiga 040 appear? There's probably a youtube video about exactly who had the lead in the race to Mac faster in the 90s.
At the time of the IIfx... the fastest Mac you could get was an Amiga 68030 @50MHz running a Mac emulator, and it worked out far cheaper then the real Mac too. 68k Macs were great for many reasons but demo capabilities were definitely not one.
Beautiful job, I would not have picked that the color was not quite perfect. Is there a video or blog illustrating that JB Weld technique for old case repair?
This is the thing about living around the bay, people just casually toss oscilloscopes, computers, CNC machines, reflow ovens, mass spectrometers etc... you should try living in Melbourne, the best thing I have picked up recently is a 2010 iMac (that needed a new power supply and my parents are...
A LC475 mainboard with 25MHz 68040 (not LC), 32MB RAM, 1MB VRAM. Listed as fully working from a seller I have bought from before (and who has done an exchange for me who I wasn't happy with something that arrived). I'll need to find a power supply but the floppy and hard drive are dead space...
Yes, it should be obvious from the contacts and the slight markings they make on the 30 PCB connections where electrical contact is made - just put the tape on the other side, i.e. don't insulate the SIMM completely!
