Lexicon Nuverb with its TDM daughterboard

Samplecell II with and without TDM board

I have a few bits more hardware out now so I'll share. I've also just uploaded a few pro tools images to the garden with auth floppys. You'll need a greaseweasel though. A PTIII farm card without its TDM piggyback board

Hello all, I've just uploaded Pro Tools 2.51 in a greaseweasel / scp format with 2 authorisations to the garden. I have various others including updates and version 3.1 with Auth as well as a fresh 4.3 auth and a plugin too. Obviously those with early pro tools systems and missing disks or...

That's definitely useful! If anyone has the tools needed to clone / reset an auth floppy, it would be good to have up somewhere handy too. Not sure if it's kicking about on the garden or not. It's mentioned in a few places here and there.

PT2 Audio card with single interface master. The original PT2 card shipped without the TDM board but this was added later with PT2.5 as a TDM upgrade option. It's pretty hard to find the blue ribbon cable that connects the cards together. They're often sold without it. I believe a single...

Next, the Lexicon Nuverb. Adds a Lexicon 300 to a nubus mac on a card. I/O is on AES/EBU and with an optional TDM daughterboard you can route in and out of it in PT3. I have the card + daughterboard but lack the rest of a PT3 system so don't actually know how it integrates properly. There's a...

I'll start with this, the elusive Grey Matter Response Sysaxe card. Used to combine 4 Pro Tools Audio Nubus cards together to record and play back 16 channels. There's a 68020 CPU on the card in addition to a SCSI controller. They're very hard to find in the wild. I found mine for sale as a SCSI...

Anyone with cards or hardware from these systems, can you please post any images you have? They are fairly difficult to find in any decent resolution online and I'm looking to collate information on them. I'll add a few of my own. I have PT2 cards and single interface master boards for them as...

Of course! As ever, life has somewhat taken over for now but I'll come back with some as soon as I get a bit more time. They're interesting systems. Completely un-apple and AIX is certainly extremely foreign stacked against the apple ecosystem of the day! I'll capture it booting and pop it on...

<friend> I can add a lot more photos of this if anyone's interested.. </friend>

I have a booster 40. The one I have is for a IICi and just fits in the cache slot. No additional drivers needed.

So take a much closer look at your ADB chip following what I found above. I'd bet it's probably just needing a bit of solder. Probe the pin to the board at each trace and see if you're missing any. Given you were loosing ADB, I'd say you have a solid bet it's the same issue. Let me know if you...

Made some progress tonight. After a ton of probing in all of the wrong areas, a number of pins on the ADB chip were found not to be making contact. It's the first I've seen this problem related to that specific part, but sure as hell once re-soldered the mac now gets to the blinking disk. I...

Should also add there’s more on this in larry’s repair secrets book detailing the se and SE30 along with expected resistance values measured in circuit.

Worth checking your bournes network packages toward the back. Take a look at attached. It was step one in my process so far but mine appears unrelated.

Got good tones on all of them. Replaced the SWIM for another from a donor machine and same result. Might be time for me to invest in a logic sniffer and have a look at the lines at the PDS. I wonder if I have a short somewhere on the board perhaps. What’s a little odd was that just after the...

Ah sorry, I think I wrote the post while still in my head a little. You know how these things are when you're thinking problems through. So for more clarity, the image shown is of the pattern you see immediately after a good mac's display comes on. Before the cursor appears shortly later...

Yes to chime. Raster is the raster pattern drawn from the ROM as described in a bunch of reference sources. Usually accompanied by a cursor but it looks like SWIM isn't initialising as per the bourns problem described above so I have raster, but no cursor. Looks like I'm perhaps missing some...

Hi Garrett, Most posts I've seen so far point toward shorts in bad traces caused by tantalums or bad vias etc. Just can't find it. I had a good hour long probe around earlier and still none the wise. Tried swapping the sony chips out too. I'm almost certain it's a via but where!? It's...
