I've been thinking about my plan for the RetroChallenge. I'm thinking of entering the Hardware challenge.
Some of you may remember many years ago that I had an LC475, with which I ran its SCSI chain in a case from an AST Premmia. The original plan was to put the entire Mac in the PC case, but sadly the Mac's PSU didn't like being put into the PC case, and at that stage I didn't have the pinouts for the mobo power supply connector, so I ran the internal SCSI ribbon out the back of the PC case, and then into the back of the LC case, which was placed right underneath the PC case, and then connected it to the internal SCSI connector on the motherboard.
At the end of 2003, I completed it, and put the logic board in the PC case, and had it running off the AT power supply. It was pretty sweet...it had an internal HDD, and two CD-ROM drives. It ran for about two days before the AT PSU blew. After that I put the Mac back in the original case and reinstalled the internal HD in the original case, and its been like that for the past four years.
I've got a few AT PSUs now, so I'm thinking...how about I revive it for the retrochallenge?
