That's good to hear. I haven't toned out the links between sockets yet but that sounds like a good thing to do as a next step. It wasn't myself that did the work and given the perf board used for the additional upgrade logic, it looks like it's been done a long time ago. I think I did pull all...

Hello all, I have a 128K logic board. It's been upgraded to 512K with the modification and new sockets for replacement ram chips installed. I did at one point see this board working but it failed rather suddenly. Not the smoke this time but it makes some rather loud beeping noises on repeat...

Pwhoar, been away for a while but it's probably time to get a bit more active on here and do an update. @Durosity and I are coming to the Vintage Computer Festival later in the year so it would be nice to see some of you there! In the mean time I'll share a bit of what I've been working on! So...

Ah this is wonderful! Thank you so much!

Ok it's sorted. It was a pin lift on one of the GAL chips on the adaptor board. Quick hit with some solder and it's working perfectly. Thanks for everyone's suggestions. All valid but in this case it was a hardware issue.

Yes, stock rom in one machine with MODE32 and the os patch and I tried with the rominator II in the other. The system runs perfectly otherwise. Passes benchmarks, Switching Carrera modes can sometimes crash it but only occasionally and I guess with what's going on inside, it's not unlikely...

It's strange isn't it.. Proven hardware, and both SE/30's work perfectly. I did try 7.1 previously but to no avail. OS is patched but I'll certainly try that image.

Hello All, I'm struggling a bit chasing an issue with the above combination. What I'm finding is when the 040 is enabled via the control panel, the video seems to go wonky horizontally. I'm getting a sort of doubling of lines. I'm wondering if anyone's seen anything like this before. I've tried...

Ah very cool! Audio is my day job so it's been an interest for a very long time. I actually ended up using a quadra 700 and a Nuverb recently live with a very well known performing artist! It got some looks although I was using an HDMI converter rather than lugging a CRT in. I think I'm going to...

It's another exercise in frustration really. Why spend 1 minute with a raspberry pi when you could have it take you a number of days and still not work quite as you expected it to with your friend, the ANS700.. It does drown the silence out though which is a feature not a fault..

There's a great many other items in that list! Gone to the great e-waste pile in... well, Glasgow.

I think everyone's jealous of my ANS 🤣 I really ought to do it's PSU's. There's not many capacitors in there really. I need to find some small rivets to get it back together though which actually may be the difficult part.. Along with encouraging things to come off the ground plane although I...

Vsync line?.. I'd probe between UG6 and UF8 along with other destinations around it. Corroded via maybe? If you have an oscilloscope it might be worth looking at what's bouncing.. (or not)

Covid. There's way more out of shot.. 🤣

Hello everyone, I thought I would offer a bit of an intro from a long time lurker.. So I'm a fellow collector, hoarder, serial ebayist... whatever you prefer to call me. I’ve been more active in recent years and have been collecting well before it was ‘cool’ or people made YouTube videos on the...
