@Kai Robinson Wow this is such an interesting take on PCB repair. I have this strange urge of wanting to transplant components off an old working board to a new one, which I know makes no sense. If you need help with buying parts in the USA, let me know. I am interested in buying some simm...

@joshc What is the purpose of adding the socket? I don't think there's much of a reason unless you want to add an accelerator that works with the socket.

@hyperneogeo I'm down for 2 sets of 4 if you still have some available.

I think this may require some sort of a hack, so I'm posting here, but maybe this is a simple fix with an extension. One thing that is annoying about the video card is the default resolution is 512 x 341, which is one row off from the standard compact mac resolution of 512 x 342. I saw this a a...

Was there anything else unusual about the SE/30 like additions to the case or internals? I personally would have kept it since it is somewhat usual.

I agree. In physical fabrication in general, having cosmetic requirements makes their manufacture so much more difficult, especially optically clear components since there's nothing to hide. I have a project in mind that I want to make a custom computer case for a 68k machine, but I don't think...

HP MJF (painted white) would probably be good or maybe Carbon3D, but is more expensive since it is geared for commercial applications. I use 3D printing often for prototyping, but it is not really there yet for replacing injection molded parts.

This screen pattern looks familiar, but I don't recall doing anything other maybe fixing a loose connection for one of the wiring harnesses. I guess I have been fairly lucky in not needing to do elaborate fixes other than replacing capacitors. I would carefully try to jiggle wire bundles near...

Wow JDW, I didn't know you were doing these type of videos, the one you just posted looks really great. It is kind of surreal to see how things have changed in the hobby over the years. Thanks for sharing.

Looking good!

Oh, so awesome! To be fair, no one really commented on it, so I think you slipped that one by us.  bw:) That's probably the first example of an 040 + Micron Xceed working together in an SE/30, congrats!

@Bolle Looks intense - love it!! Do you think it has the potential to support a Micron Xceed card?

Nice hack. RIP Weird Stuff.  :sadmac:

Are you using the same components the maccon uses? And you still need the smaller board that you plug in ethernet, right?

I have tried the Turbo 601 in an SE/30 in various configs/adapters, but all I got was the PowerMac chime and a dark screen. I tested it in a IIsi as well to make sure it was a good card. I am guessing the ROM could be hacked to work for the SE/30.

@ants That photo you took looks really promising, great job!

I checked out the latest Basilisk build and noticed that now the HyperCard transitions are "gone", so they must be generating way too fast to see like you mentioned. I guess speed/timing in general for games/visuals is a challenge to get the right for emulation. But I wonder how the speed was...

Hey, that's awesome you are making more headway on HyperCard. Do the card transitions work ok? One of the things I noticed with emulation (Basilisk) is that the card transitions like dissolve are super slow, so Hypercard games don't work that well. Maybe this has improved with other emulators...

Awesome, looks good! Do you think you'll be able to do HyperCard at some point?

Might be OK... I wish that demo had a white background. I was imagining it to be like this arcade screen (on the left) with the CRT behind a front glass/plexi.
