Na I’m just going to be linking two devices to transfer files. Either two 68k Macs or one and my MacBook Pro.

Ahh ok. Well shoot I built my pack with 5 1000mah Nicds because 10 wouldn’t fit in the 3d printer enclosure I used and I get 45 minutes of runtime 😂 🤦‍♂️

Aren’t NIMH batteries a bad idea since the PowerBook charging circuit expects NiCd?

This is exactly want to do as well. Don’t care about speed. So I should get two then? What about the DIY and or Kit? I have a picKIT 3 and have build my own boards with PICs on them so I’m capable but not sure if I want to deal with it if it’s a big hassle. Do you have a kit ? I don’t mind...

Ok great then I can test them all and have some known good ones. I’ll report back. Thank you very much for helping.

Does a Mac plus have the same SIMMs? I have a working one of those.

Ah cool yeah I need to go to some of these. Like VCF etc also want to check the computer history museum out there. I am in San Diego. I’m have a feeling the bulk of my content was on a full height 2GB hard drive that’s long gone. The internal drive probably only has the OS and all the apps I’m...

Yeah I’m going to address the power situation next. Rule that out.

That’s why I’m trying to get frkn’ IICX back! The first one that I started this thread with is my original computer from early 90s it’s loaded with a video capture card, a radius rocket with i think 40 megs of RAM that would have cost thousands back then but I worked for Kingston Memory at the...

Ah ok good to know

Wow! Really? I had no idea. It’s my card from 1992 and it’s also loaded in ram 😆

I don’t think it is the SIMMS or the sockets. I’ve cleaned them and tried multiple sets in multiple combinations but it could be ram related from a bad trace or back supporting / glue chip for sure. But I will double check and clean the simms and sockets to make sure.

I know. To clarify, I scrubbed SIMM sockets with alchohol and a toothbrush (as well as the entire board).

It is sad Mac’ing with: No cards installed at all. Radius video card (and no life on the monitor) It is NOT Sad Mac’ing (no signs of life) with: Apple Macintosh II video card Supermac video spigot card Radius Rocket card

No logic analyzers. All I’ve been doing is touching pins with my oscilloscope probe to see if there’s any activity. Haha well I scrubbed the board down and cleaned it a while ago. I will deoxit them today!

As far as the ram goes, I have no way to test it but I have a lot of them. Probably at least 24 or 32 SIMMs.

See above I cleaned the board with toothbrush and alchohol after re-capping. It looks good to me. But I’ll give it another once over. To answer your video card question see my post above. When I put the card in with the Apple Macintosh ii video card (or any other non video card) I get no...

Good info. Thanks!

I’m using the stock soldered on ROMs. I’ve got a lot of RAM to work with and I’ve tried different sets in different not the 4 A bank slots as well as both banks full but I have not conspired the timing. I will do that. All sim slots are in great shape. No corrosion and no broken plastic. One...

I’ve been through that phase though. I’ve re-capped it and fixed all the broken traces I could find so far and now I’ve got a sad Mac chime. Good news but still not there yet so now I am resorting to the scope…chances are it is a broken trace I haven’t found yet but I’ve been looking! I will...
