It might not be the best idea to lay bare PCBs on static-prone surfaces like towels and rugs, especially those made with synthetic fibers (y)

Nice, you've got a Novy accelerator there. I see clear signs of leaking surface-mount caps in all 3 of the LCs pictured in this post. It usually won't be "liquid" or "goo", but a dull "fuzzy" finish on surrounding vias, solder pads, and component legs.

Does a ZuluSCSI do the same thing? I don't have one handy...

I'm also using a BlueSCSI v1 in a IIgs with the GGLabs card without issue, and I mentioned this suspicion to OP early on...glad to see it sounds confirmed.

I don't believe the BlueSCSI itself "consumes" a SCSI ID...just the devices it's configured to emulate. Yes, the host system's SCSI controller is usually ID 7.

The SCSI ID(s) is determined by the filename(s) of the image(s): https://bluescsi.com/docs/Usage#image-files

Ya, it's not all of them and sounds like some of the issues may have eventually been worked out: https://lowendmac.com/1991/radius-rocket-review/ I was having issues similar to OP until I removed the RasterOps card and used the onboard video and it immediately worked reliably. Again, a Stage 2...

I asked about the video card because the Rocket has known compatibility issues with certain cards, especially some RasterOps cards. I had similar issues when pairing a Rocket with a RasterOps Paintboard Prism GT in a IIci (though a Stage 2 Rocket had no problems). I was going to suggest that...

Are you using a NuBus video card in the host system? If so, which one?

The short answer is you aren't meant to observe Views as State. Views are a function of state. Longer (AI generated because I'm on a phone) explanation: Views are Ephemeral: SwiftUI views are lightweight structures that are frequently recreated by the framework as needed to reflect changes in...

I recapped a non-turbo 040 NeXT Cube board with tantalum polymers and didn't have any trouble with pads or traces lifting. I removed the old SMD caps by applying flux to the pads and lifting them off with these cheap hot tweezers tinned and set to 350c. Yes, a few of them are in tight spots...

Is this for TM support in Hootswitch? 🤞

Ya, it also shipped with several compact Mac accelerators that included onboard RAM (like OP's Gemini) because it enabled that onboard RAM.

And you can still (barely) fit a hard drive in there too. When I got my SE SuperDrive, it had two 1.4MB floppy drives, a MicroMac MultiSpeed accelerator, a vintage external TTL video breakout...AND a 40MB Quantum HD installed on this red anodized aluminum "sled" that mounted ontop of the upper...

I could really use one of these as I have 3 ADB macs plugged into the same mouse/keyboard (I just only use one machine at a time and manually swap the ADB cable). My ADB chain is Mac->AEKII->Kensington TurboMouse 5.0->ADBMII. I use Kensington MouseWorks to assign special functions to the...

I now notice some similarities between the two board layouts after knowing they were designed by the same people...the 4 bus transceivers have the same location designators, as do some of the AMD CPLDs and the crystal. I did try the ThunderCachePro driver with the mystery accelerator to see if...

iiiiinteresting...that's the same vendor mentioned in the DeclROM of my mystery LC accelerator

I have too many other projects on the bench right now to dig that machine out, take it apart, and buzz the RAM slots :(. Here's a good picture of the back of the board though:

No dedicated thread, but maybe I should make one to try an identify it once and for all. There aren't any identifying markings on it, though Bolle pointed out that that particular warranty sticker hiding how much they're OCing the CPU was typically used on Novy accelerators. There are a lot of...

Indeed:
