What i have planned:
- Re-cap my IIgs, the big round cap is leaking and crusty.
# - fixed
- REtrofit a LC PSU board into an Apple II PSU , just to see if it will function with out -12v
# - Fixed yes it works.
- Diagnose or replace the Voltage regulators in my Macintosh Portable to fix hard drive spin-up issues running from battery.
# - Boost regulator was fried in about 40% of them bought some and did allow some success!
- Fix My Caddy External SCSI Apple 300, it plays music cd's but will not read data from a stamped or burned data cd.
# - DUUUUHHHHHH it just needed a cetronix terminator.
- Install my retro fit LC PSU in a Beater Apple II i have in the the garage,
# - did and it works!
- Glue 2 keys from some broken keyboard to the missing stubs on my apple II beater
# - did and goop is holding on the 2 missing keys for me. - i might post this one for sale!
- Test Super Serial Apple II card to see if it will work with out -12v ( highly doubtful )
# - never tested this one.
- Over Clock my Quadra 610 board from 20mhz to 25or28or30Mhz +maybe More, (need 12.5mhz oscillator for 25mhz) (need 15mhz oscillator for 30mhz)
# - sold this to coitus /// did include the 15mhz (OC) oscillator
once over clocked check cooling, check for complete functionality, including serial ports and Booting From floppy.
- Change oscillator in my IIci just to see what happens, Maybe get more speed out of the cpu?
# - never did.
- OC my Quadra 700
# - poped in a 50mhz PPC CARD instead
- Install the Japanese keyboard from my not working Japanese PB160 into my PC170, Paint the Powerbook 170 to match SE PB 170 released in japan only.
# - never did, sold to a member
- Replace the Sound IC's in one of my IIsi's that has a Very odd and strange sound output issue, diagnosed by mcdermd.
# - never did, the board is still sitting on my shelf
- take my (2) 5260's out of my closet and throw them in the yard nobody wants them, drive over them with military truck for fun
# - never did… Wish that i did this one!
- Downgrade my upgraded 128k, to original, or maybe figure out a 128k/512k jumper toggle set up.
# - mcdermd downgraded a upgradrf 128k for me, back to 128k - ended up selling this one to snuci
- install a harddrive in my LC575, Find a rear IO plate for it as well.
# - did this and gave the LC575 to HAP
- install mac os 8.1 on my LC475, then take the hard drive out and install that in my Color Classic, See if the LC575 board will work, and allow me to use native rez of the CC unmodified tube.
# - I did end up trying this, the success was not good because i needed to mod the lc575 board and didn't wanna, it went to hap.
- Try to fix my LC-III the one that suffered a massive battery explosion. This one will require massive amount of time. off the bat needs 8+ traces re-run on the PCB
# - i tried… spent like 4 hours on this one night. i could not get this thing to work… gave up. its officially a parts LC-III now.
- Turn one of the nifty PowerPC CPU Peltier coolers I got from Trag, into an actual beer can cooler! Good one for the upcoming warmer weather
# - i have not done anything with this.. but i want to expand on that with a double throw double pull switch that way i can COOL or HEAT something with this.
- Try to install higher capacity RAM chips in BANK A of my IIsi - Idea from JT.
# - never did this, just increase my HD CACHE to 1024m witch saturates that onboard MEG of slow ram. and now has a IIsi Radius card installed!
- On the idea of ram chips, Install more ram chips or higher capacity ones in my LC - Idea from OlePigeon
# - nope tried it and was not successful.. i had to remove the ram i added because was getting the chime of doom.
- Work on ROM Modification , for my LC475 /w added ROM SLOT, from Mcdermd
# - it works… i have a rom in there now! pretty sure the ram test is disabled so i can boot up in seconds even with 128 megs ram installed
- Motivate Mcdermd to get the (battery exploded) LC-I board I sent him for Ram Slots Removal for CC_333's SE/30, Working again, - will still work w/o ram slots,
and then pester him to also try and upgrade the ram chips on board, for the fun of it (I think he is in the market for a hot-air-re-flow tool) * wiggles eye brows *
# - lol some projects are unrealistic I ended up becoming very crafty with a heat gun, and i have no idea if that LC+mcdermd's efforts made cc_333's SE/30 working again
