    Macintosh Plus Internal Hard Drive *Mod*

    You have gone way beyond that so far though... Get a nice rainbow ribbon, solder the wires and you are done. It can have a male socket at the other end if you want it connectorized.

    Macintosh Plus Internal Hard Drive *Mod*

    Nice mock-up jt! You might also want to add a view with the connector body from the cable to see if it fits in the space. A killy clippy thingy would be cool too, so no board mod would be required. Maybe with that design it would be a double decker PCB: headers on either side of the chip...

    I made a graphic for your CP, if you are interested... I found the disk in the HyperCard clipart stack.

    Macintosh Plus Internal Hard Drive *Mod*

    I am no expert, but I am guessing if the trace lengths are different say on the order of 1-2cm, there will be no impact to the timings, etc., hence no need to worry about them. The main thing is having a schematic and ready-made parts available in a standard library (if using Eagle CAD). If...

    Macintosh Plus Internal Hard Drive *Mod*

    I was responding more to uniserver since he had jt's name huge in all caps just after he said to use lower case, but the original post has since been edited.

    Capacitor Replacement Thread . . .

    I am a proponent of polymer SMD caps that look like the original *evil* caps }:) . I wanted to keep my logic board (socketed) looking closer to stock and I also read here about tantalum caps potentially having catastrophic failures. I posted the part numbers I used here...

    A/UX Install Issues

    Perhaps the CD/floppy images are corrupt. Try verifying somehow that the install media are good, MD5, make new disks, etc.

    My SE/30's battery BLEW UP!

    Was that SE/30 or the logic board stored outside or in a garage/basement?

    My SE/30's battery BLEW UP!

    Someone posted a failure of those here as well. The brand name is Tadiran. Based on what I saw on their website, they seem to be into making high reliability batteries for military applications, so I would be a little more confident in using those, but as we have seen, any of them can fail...

    CF AztecMonsters have landed

    Nice, I was looking at getting a Silicon Power card. I believe those use SLC flash for their CF cards, so that will help boost write speeds a bit and are supposed to sustain more read/write cycles. http://www.silicon-power.com/tw/event/memory_card/en/page02.html I'm looking forward to seeing...

    CF AztecMonsters have landed

    Give it a shot. I do not recall OS 7 automatically asking to format the drive. You will most likely need a 3rd party utility (or hacked Apple HD Setup) for setting up and formatting the drive. Which CF card did you end up buying?

    Lapis Color PDS/30 Video Card

    There is at least one patent they were granted for a "Grayscale Video Conversion System". There are some details in the patent about the method and a rough schematic, but they do not have to divulge all the design details in order to be issued one. At the time the patent was relevant, it may...

    Lapis Color PDS/30 Video Card

    I don't think you will find an easy solution. The Xceed system was unique and also patented, so maybe that discouraged others from doing the same. Something feasible would be the "poor man's" grayscale project where you put in a monitor of the appropriate size inside the chassis, using its...
