    Macintosh II PSU repair

    TR1 is a Triac http://www.frankshospitalworkshop.com/electronics/data_sheets/triac/T0805.pdf DB1 is a bridge rectifier maybe 600V/20A. Look for the correct form factor but the old one is good maybe. You can test it, there are only four diodes in it. It’s no problem with a multimeter.

    EPSON SG-615 Oszillator Speedup Clip

    It works but my Quadra 650 Mainboard has some problems to run at 40Mhz. The Quadra boots up fine but the video output is corrupted, and the computer then freezes.

    EPSON SG-615 Oszillator Speedup Clip

    I’ve been tinkering a bit and am attempting to build a clip-on adapter for my Quadra 650 motherboard to overclock it to up to 40 MHz. I had tried this once before using homemade contact springs, but it didn't work due to contact issues with the SG-615 oscillator. I really don't want to solder...

    Macintosh IIci keeps blowing its fuse

    Switch-mode power supplies consist of a primary circuit (mains voltage) and a secondary circuit (5V and other low voltages). If the mains fuse blows, first check whether the rectifier (diodes) has a short circuit; next, check whether the high-voltage main electrolytic capacitor has a short...

    SWIM Chip Version

    I have a SWIM chip from a IIcx motherboard and an oxidized one from a PPC7100 motherboard. How many different versions are there? Are they interchangeable, or is the pinout—for example—different? I’m asking because I would like to have a Macintosh II with an 020 CPU for upgrade purposes...

    Quadra 700 Mainboard in IIcx case ...

    I installed the Q650 motherboard into the cx case because of the three NuBus slots, and the Q700 motherboard is back in its original case. ... I still need to do a bit of rasp and hone on the back panel, and then paint it.

    Sony 2MB MP-F75W Floppy Schematics ...

    The circuit diagram is correct. Is there a list of replacement SMD transistors (EU types) for the original types? They must, of course, have the same pinout. I destroyed the Q9 while trying to control it manually and replaced it with a BC557 for testing purposes.There's an internal switch in...

    The Q9 transistor is ok. I must test more, I will see the Eject signal comes from Pin9 of the Floppy connector ...
