Using the labels on the DE-9, this is what I got for the pinout. 1 NO CONNECTION 1 2 NO CONNECTION 2 3 - 3 4 NO CONNECTION 4 5 - 9 6 - 6 7 - 7 8 - 8 9 - 5

I can confirm that the Model 0369 Monochrome Pivot works in both softpivot software and hardware card-based pivot. Mine doesn’t have the stand though, which I’m currently looking to either remake or just find.

I’ve got one of those Macintosh 128K/Apple II/Lisa Apple Modem 1200s, but one thing that my modem didn’t come with was the DE-9 to DE-9 cable for the Macintosh 128K. I‘ve searched around but can’t seem to figure out the pinout to connect them together. Does anyone here have a cable that they can...

Plugging something into the DC port to act as a external battery? That could work. I’d just need to find something that looks good and can provide the power needed. Also the connector.

Darn! I’ll have to contact them. Hope they know how to do it cause I want to use this outside of having it attached to a wall.

I have a 3400C coming in the mail with a barely alive battery, and want to know if there’s a way to rebuild them currently? If not, is there places where I can find NOS batteries that still work?

I noticed that one of them mentioned “see sig” so I assume there’s a chart or something that determines that? As for 3.3V, I see that the only location the 3.3V goes to is P8 on the power header on the motherboard. I unfortunately don’t have the pinout for the LC580 boards though. (It’s on the...

I’ve seen it done to “Takky” CCs, but I don’t think i’ve seen it to upgrade LC580s. I also noticed that on the Takky website it does mention that the 5200/5300 motherboards do not need 3.3V. Do they actually?

Are the motherboards from later AIO systems (5200, 5500, etc) compatible with the LC 580? I know that the LC 520/550/575 don’t support it without heavy case modding and cable rewire (that’s why they work with CCs), but the LC 580 has a harness cable that looks similar to the later macs. I...

When do you guys think the GUI to mess with the drives will be made? I do want to alter up my drive setup (and change cards possibly) but don’t want to fuss with Linux just to change it up.

Thank you! Sorry for not commenting back in quite a bit. I found out that you need a specific cable for it. Basically the drivers checks the sense pins on the Mac, and whenever the monitor is rotated, one of the three sense pins either turns on or off. I believe it’s sense 1 that does. Whatever...

I’ve got a UniMac 82D that I’m trying to turn into a Monochrome Radius Pivot cable. From what i’ve gathered, the Monochrome Radius Pivot has the sense pins of ID1: no ground ID2: ground ID3: no ground using this pinout...

That would certainly be interesting, but does the SE have a floppy access pin?

I’m trying to get a mostly stock system for the video. Since the other machine is basically stock I wanted a machine that was similar so that I could compare the two in terms of stats and other info. The machine was supposed to come with 1 floppy 1 hard drive, and while I’m not going to...

The system works otherwise! The HDD will need to be replaced (or left inside for B-roll) and the picture tube will need to be adjusted. (Possibly a replacement coming up as well because it is burned in. I'll most likely fab a blank for the slot with the hard drive, as I don't really want a 2...

The neckboard was slightly popped off (which I put back on). And there's a hard drive modification of some kind. Someone set the HDD back about 2-3 inches back from the tube for whatever reason. I don't understand why. It's made by MicroNet (or installed by MicroNet), and seems to just move the...

On the front of the machine was a LED sticking out of one of the vents at the bottom. It was loose but held in somehow. I couldn't find a hard drive light anywhere on the machine so I assumed it was for that. The next thing I noticed while looking around was a small hole drilled on the top of...

A while back I thought of comparing various machines together to see which one would’ve been the better buy back then and now. One of the machines on the comparison block is the Macintosh SE, which I’ll be comparing to a similar PC counterpart that was being sold roughly around the same time...

It works! I replaced the batteries as well. Thank you for the help!

Would soldering the loose white wire to the soldered down while wire work?
