SuperDuoHack Brainstorming Session =8-D

Project update:

The SuperDuoHack project just received an infusion of Raspberry Jam.

As an aside:

Methinks the BabyPB reverse picture frame hack might be changing direction, but putting the rest of the 2300c into my first PB will likely prevail. The LCD is already in the PowerBook 100 lid. That hack is in the slow cooker, well behind the back-burner projects.

BabyPB already has the 1400 KBD upgrade in place, I've been looking at using one for the SuperDuo as well. Now that I've got extra (extra-nasty) 2300c plastics I've been looking at it on and off. It's a real possibility, requiring some key cap filing, but well worth a shot.

edit: I needed to get this shot to mcdermd for comparisons, but this project is still very much alive. I'll likely be upgrading PowerDuo with the faster processor instead of the 5300ce, dunno, still thinking on it.

But for now, I do have DOA 2300 and 1400 boards on hand to start tearing down and buzzing. I need to determine the trace routing from PBX to the T-REX/PCMCIA Card Cage interconnects on the 1400 MoBo in order to map them to the Duo's Docking Connector. I'm guessing the other 16 of the 32 bits of the 1400's Data/Addres Bus lead to the Video Card Slot.

On the Duo, I'll be looking to find where the processor's clock multiplier pads meet up with resistors wherever it turns out that Apple hid them. }:)
