    LC Developer Note?

    I 100% have it, need to dig out my old laptop as I can't remember for the life of me which Dev CD it was on I found them, extracted them from the CD but never got around to converting them to PDF. Will report back later tonight (if I remember this time!)

    LC II no chime, grey screen, some activity on the address and data bus

    Are you supplying +5V and +12V while doing that? A common trap when people test the boards on a bench supply is to only give it 5V as 90% of boards will boot with just +5V however you do technically need the +12V as it is used for the EGRET's power supply (If you don't connect +12V it seems to...

    Sawtooth ATX PSU conversion

    I can't say for the sawtooh specifically but I recently ATX converted one of my QS's as it had a dead PSU and found that the board out of a cheap ATX PSU (Chosen as I had a pile of them at work that where new but free (pulled from cases when we where building PC's)) fitted perfectly in the case...

    Recreateing the Apple TechStep

    I need to get better at updating these threads.... It basically done :) (at least as far as it is going to be taken for now) the clones have been tested and work on everything we have tried them on. Only issue I came across during testing was that the clone was failing to get some macs into...

    Project30 - IIsi NuBus Adapter in SE/30 - fifth edition

    ALS651's are a bit of a pain because they are not manufactured new so you either end up spending a crazy price per chip or having to order stupid quantity's. there is the 74ABT651 which is still made (though only in a SOIC package) it tends to be pretty expensive though (about £5 a chip last I...

    iBook G3 600

    Yep 640MB is the limit on these, I don't remember the being particularly picky about RAM so if the existing stick is not being recognised it's probably just bad stick

    sound crashing

    Check around the sony sound chips, I had a IIcx board with broken traces (well a repro with missing traces but it's the same thing) where changing the sound volume would make the board crash and then requite a PRAM reset before it would boot again. I suspect the broken traces where making the...

    SE/30 DiiMO accelerator cloning

    In regards to the clock issue, have you got termination resistors at the end of the clock trace coming out of U2? the stock design dosen't have them (it only has them on the main 50mhz clock out the oscillator) but it was one of the recommendations Bolle gave me when I was working on the LCIII...

    What Apple Prototype Did I just Stumble Upon “Flamingo” ? 920-1873-03

    Cumulus is the codename of the touchscreen controller on the iphone 5 - 6S (and possibly later, I don't have schematics saved here for anything newer than the 6S to hand and cba to search them out). I don't *think* that board has the actual Cumulus IC on it though so I guess it would plug into...

    LC III schematic question - is this correct?

    Pins 3 and 4 are both connected to a internal +8V plane in the board so bridging the is fine, they don't need to connected to anything else first

    LC III schematic question - is this correct?

    Yep the schematic is correct, both pin 3 and 4 should be connected to +8V. I'm guessing the via right next to pin 3 has rotted out form cap goop

    Technical explanation of why the LC, LC II, and Classic II have a 10MB RAM limit

    Unfortunately not, I'm not made of money! :) That's correct, the CC is LCII based and the CCII is LCIII based so the same method I used on the LCIII would not work on the CC Me and @mg.man did muse doing the same thing on the CCII but found the CC chassis lacks appropriate clearance form my...

    Macintosh LC schematic

    https://github.com/max234252/MacLC-Reloaded/blob/main/LC_Schematics/PDF/LC_Schematics-V1.1A.pdf There are a few errors in that I need to fix, most notably i'm pretty sure the pins on the serial ports are connected in the wrong order but other than that it's should be 99.9% correct :) there are...

    Ultrasonic cleaning of old boards

    Yep that board had a bad '030 I also killed your other board in the US after fixing it, in tHat case it was one of the VRAM ic's that filed Chip damage in the ultrasonic is rare, but I have seen it twice, both with your SE/30 boards.....

    800k ejecting all the time

    Have you tried the drive in another mac? My Plus dose this (And according to my dad has done it intermittently since the late 80's) we always assumed the drive was bad however I later found it worked fine in another mac. Both the drive and cable are original to the plus which suggests this is a...
