    New theory on the cause of the infamous Tunnel Vision problem - Testers needed!

    Am curious about this statement... did you mean "de"humidifier? Also, you say "tunnelling didn't return" - does that mean you 'fixed' it?

    Powerbook 1400 16mb ram module upgrade to 24mb

    I have not. My 3400Cs are all in bits. I'll try to find time to put one (mostly) together and check out @croissantking's wizardry. The 180c card he populated for me works great! 🙂

    64K ROM support for Lisa Widget drive?

    I've just come across in an old thread a remark by @Mac128 that "I have measured the cabinet and confirmed that the HD20 will accept a Widget drive. The HD20 is identical to the 20SC cases which were intended to take 3.5 & 5.25 inch full height drives. Likely why the HD20 was an inch taller...

    @croissantking - I may have a donor CPU you could use for this. Drop me a PM if you're considering a repair.

    Ray Lynch Mac setup from 1991

    Judging by the keyboard, I'd guess a Macintosh Plus. No idea on the s/w, but here's a screenshot in case it helps someone identify :

    Quack: Bluetooth & ADB Mouse "Dongle" for the Macintosh 128/512/Plus

    Aww... bummer. After stripping & cleaning mine, plus adding an 8-ball :cool: [https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/better-trackball-for-kensington-turbo-mouse.46169/] - it's my favorite pointy device. I'd still like one, and will be happy to help with the journey - will at least be able to...

    Coolest 68k Powerbooks to own?

    My 180C came with a partly populated Kingston (IIRC) card - a local wizard I know lifted chips from some other PB RAM cards I had and fully populated the 180C card to the max! 🙂

    Coolest 68k Powerbooks to own?

    Not yet... got distracted with the PB 100 restoration, my PM8500 upgrade to dual 604s + BeOS, some early version BlueSCSI & SCSI2SD shenanigans (which impacted the PM8500 u/g :confused:) ... so ... haven't popped open the 180C to fit that shiny new RAM card. Getting close, though, re-capping...

    Coolest 68k Powerbooks to own?

    ...cap leakage issues / other logicboard failures and general unreliability of SE/30s are what keeps me away from them. :LOL: Not to dis the SE/30 (or 68k PowerBooks) but these old Macs are just that - old - so, routine TLC and preventative maintenance comes with the territory. For me, my 68k...

    Apple II clone - screen full of Apple characters on startup

    They're not extortionately expensive either... you might get lucky with this one : - https://www.ebay.com/itm/116183317961 Or there's this one : - https://www.ebay.com/itm/404980459402 I've also seen them go with BIN for less than the latter one. Of course, YMMV.

    Quack: Bluetooth & ADB Mouse "Dongle" for the Macintosh 128/512/Plus

    Great, will do - depending on... I have a couple of Kensington (Turbo Mouse?) and also a Logitech one - forget the name of the latter - all native ADB ones. Do you think either of these will work?

    PB 2400c ram

    Could it be the way the memory is "arranged" (accessed)? The IBM DIMM states 8Mx64: Maybe the "Apple" memory is 16Mx32?

    MacTwister: a MacCon/Etherport/Dayna Twisted Pair breakout board

    Oh my!... I totally lost track of this - sorry! If you could keep an earmark on one I will buzz out my connections. Will happily cover postage, etc. if it looks like it'll work.

    Apple II clone - screen full of Apple characters on startup

    How totally confusing! The second pic you linked does show "dots" near the chip corners which likely indicates PIN 1 position: These do appear to coincide with your board, so I guess you're all good. Still... annoyingly confusing!

    Umm... but it's not working, and hasn't right? I found another Rev 7 Apple II board, and its CPU is rotated 180° :

    Just a wild question... is the 6502 the right way 'round? Seems kinda odd it's oriented 'upside down' compared to the EPROM at the bottom...

    Quack: Bluetooth & ADB Mouse "Dongle" for the Macintosh 128/512/Plus

    Just ran across this thread - neat! I have an original 'Mac' mouse for my Lisa, but @cheesey's pic has got me thinking about attaching one of my ADB trackballs... :unsure: Are any of these still available? In case you're still on the hunt - some inspiration? -...
