Good morning everyone!
I’ve been working on something for the past several months and I’m ready to share it here. Introducing:
beigeATX: an ATX adapter with soft power support
beigeATX is not the first of its kind, but does aim to be the first that is plug n’ play.
beigeATX is fully assembled by myself here in St. Louis and is enclosed in a printed Mac-like beige enclosure. It’s fully reversible and requires no permanent modification to your computer. Both 20 and 24 pin connectors are supported, and it comes with a lengthy green wiring harness.
I currently have enough components to build 25 units. Feel free to message me if you are interested, or visit my storefront at anserine.co
Notes:
beigeATX was developed independently, and initially for my own use. However, I understand not everyone in this hobby enjoys trudging through the depths of digikey and have chosen to build some hardware.
beigeATX, while developed in good faith, is not guaranteed to work with all systems and the potential for damage is minimal, but does exist. As I have I have a limited number of machines available, beigeATX has only been validated on the IIcx, IIci, and IIsi, but will theoretically work with all 10-pin PSU Macs. I’m working to get other systems proven.
Cooling: on some compatible systems, the PSU is the only source of airflow. I’m working on an adapter for this too, but for now I wouldn’t advise running such machines for extreme lengths of time.
beigeATX is the first in a series of useful, reversible additions to your vintage Mac. Stay tuned!
Finally, I’d like to thank the greater 68k community for the years of help and dedication to the hobby. I could not have built this without you all!
