The types @Scott Baret mentions only apply to the yoke. I've once swapped a "type B" CRT from a Classic II in a "type A" Classic. Just replace the yoke and re-do the adjustments. The neck arrangement is also pretty much standard, given that you can also use green/amber phosphor 9" from other...

Hi there,  I'm just wondering if this is possible at all. I know there's an adapter for the 7100/8100 but there's no mention whether it works or not in the 9150.  There seems to be some logic on the ribbon cable, so making a replica would be damn near impossible.  Any ideas? 

You know you can swap out the yokes right? The tube itself is identical. 

The original housing now has four extra holes and the ATX PSU was successfully installed last Sunday.  I ended up using the largest standoffs (I still need to make sure they’re not shorting against anything) and some nuts on the logicboard side. Tapping the holes won’t work here as the metal...

The drill bits arrived today and the standoffs are still in the post. I'll do the drilling and the installation this week-end.  I will only be shipping boards with a few hard to find (or specific) components (live wire connector, µ-controller...). The rest will have to be bought separately...

I DIDN'T KNOW THOSE EXISTED.  It will make refilling/bleeding MUCH easier! I wasn't able to repair mine (I think there's too much air in the system), plus the radiator appears to be leaking. Any idea how/where to find a suitable replacement?

Great to hear and what a setup!  I've had to modify the AC board and I'm letting it dry at the moment. I forgot to remove the middle plated hole for the monitor plug and this voids my clearance goal (a short could have happened with board degradation/age). So I removed it the hard way (ie with...

 @Toni_ It took me a while to test it (my Quadra being dead and all) but I can report that it works 100% correctly on my Q950 running 8.1. Vette! is my favorite game. Thanks for fixing this bug! Now if only it would run at double the resolution... :)   Also do you think there'd be a way to...

@Byrd It triggers the round robin algorithm on Supermac video cards. Without one it won't do anything of course...  Some context (from the QuadrATX thread where OVa first posted about his issue): @OVa That Supermac monitor should work with the 900's built in video... Clear the PRAM first...

Hi @OVa,  Your PSU is fine. The Spectrum/8 has a "round robin" type of synchronisation sequence (it cycles through all possible modes when it forgets its config).  1/ Turn on the Quadra and hold the Option key on your keyboard until you start to see things (even gibberish) on the display. 2/...

I am on the other hand looking for a Fremont-made '91 Superdrive (we only got FDHDs here).  And FYI, my Q950 was made in Cork. 

Once I'm 100% done with the QuadrATX, I'll start working on an adapter for the Q900/950 with MIDI out. 

@Garrett European Compact Macs up to (and including? Probably not...) the Beige Plus were imported from the US. All subsequent models were made in Europe up to the Classic I/II (about 50% of them were made in Singapore, the rest in Cork). 

It only took a year [sarcasm], but the DOS card is finally alive!  

On the menu today: Endurance tests with PDS/Nubus cards. I don't have that many (1x Supermac PDQ, 1x Ethernet and 1x Houdini II DOS Compatibility PDS card, currently testing the latter). Apparently PC Setup 1.0.3 works fine under 8.1... It shouldn't but it clearly does. I've never been able to...

Great work. Just my 2cts: - I personally wouldn't replace the Nano with an stm32. The board will only be marginally smaller (that 50 pin header is huge!), and this would make updating the code a lot trickier (that's kinda why I went with a PDIP ATtiny in a socket for the QuadrATX, but I still...

Sorry for the lack of updates, I've had stuff to do at work and my 950's system folder got corrupted. I only now realized that I had a spare HD with 7.6 on hand... So I was able to re-bless my 8.1 Folder using 7.6.  I'm currently imaging that hard drive. It has some pretty rare programs and...

Something went wrong while I was unpacking the .sit (I know I should never unpack to Unix but I always do it). The ressource fork was stripped which caused the English international issue.  As far as the other systems are concerned, I was able to get it to work by renaming STR128. I posted a...

@Crutch It doesn't seem to work on any of my Basilisk systems (8.1 German Find File 1.1.3, 7.5.1 French Find File 1.1.2 nor 7.5.5 English International Find File 1.1.2)...  :(

I just tried with Basilisk II (Quadra 900, D1-8.1, Find File "Dateien finden" version D1-1.1.3) and I can confirm that no results are found if you set the search before January 1st 2000.  #1: Date October 10th 2020, search: Name contains .SIM, Modified before October 10th 2013.  Results: All...
