@trag how about hopping onto this bandwagon? Your in depth Outbound chops would be greatly appreciated I'm sure. ;)

Dunno, lots of folks are a dab hand with digital calipers and 3D CAD. Slots for the handle mechanism would be the only real challenge. I've a second lid available to loan out for the effort. ;) Also have an extra inner chassis etc. for loan as well. That would unlock all manner of reversible...

Portable is pretty much a Macintosh SE remix*** as is the Powerbook 100 a Luggable remix, so definitely a pre- Color QuickDraw single bit proposition. *** It can use SE Expansion Cards (IIRC a pair) in an external (SecondWave?) Adapter Box. Never thought of this before, but one of the cards...

I'm waiting for someone to model the LCD bezel side of the lid for printing. Just a flat panel so trackball divots can be eliminated and bezel for any size LCD becomes possible. Put a NumPad in place of TrackBall or come up with a (yuck!) TrackPad replacement and all type of modification hell...

Nope, gotta have most of the top plate of the chassis masked off with the fan set up to pull air up from the basement/MoBo thru the unmasked openings. Even the area around the A/B umbilical would be reduced to a minimum. The fan would be positioned so as to blow exactly where you've indicated...

Was thinking about this and might have come up with a more efficient method. Haven't got ready access to a Plus ATM, but a combination of Radius' redirection baffle with a printed duct using a fan to pull more air in thru the side/front vents for cooling upgrades directly to over-pressure the...

Interesting, nicely done. Mechanical Engineer middle little brother did blade server packaging design. We talked about cooling in this context and he said that anytime a fan is introduced into a system designed for convection cooling, convection goes out the window. No criticism whatsoever...

LOL! The first thing that came to mind the one and only time I've seen these atrocities IRL was on parent's day at Stuyvesant High School (Hackers) was that the little geniuses there were having a bit of fun sticking Apple Logos on utter crap PC's in the school library. Be that as it may, I do...

Nope, a rightey, lefties have it easier when living one handed, says my lefty ex with recent broken wrist. It has indeed been eight years: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/micromac-performer-redux-cloning-a-68030-accelerator-for-compact-macs.30332/

Directly back on topic: It's nice to see we're on the same page. I've had a tube of thruhole GAL sockets leaning across the back of the HackHutch™ for almost all of those eight years! KISS principal compliance in assembly! :)

Luggable version of the Performer is something I did a lot of Illustrator dreamwork upon in the far distant past. Having Performer discussions here hit page one again is thrilling to me. With a new age magician like @zigzagjoe chiming in here this dinosaur has hopes for further Performer...

That's just the last five weeks post-op, but I've been pretty much been off the KBD/mouse since injury at work five months ago. Got addicted to YouBoobTube vids even right handed instead.

Interesting, so it might work on the Portable PDS as well, no? Those were my two wildest dreams way back then. Has anyone done an 030 in the Luggable? I've been out of it around here for so long I haven't a clue. I've been doing everything wrong handed recovering from rotator cuff surgery...

Cache, on board memory and faster clock were features on the higher tier Performer models. Thanks much for explaining the source of the problem! @Bolle never told me that it was a problem with DSACK. I'll bounce this pipe dream off you right here: might the Performer be miniaturized into a...

Has anyone archived the Developer CD series online? All the ones I have are from later in the '90's so I can't help.

Even if so, Performer's timings likely won't support CPU at 32Mhz. @Bolle tested for me when we were cloning my Performer/Plus. I had the same crazy notion, but for the SE. It has the Slot Manager required 16Mhz reference clock on its PDS. Plan was to run that thru the stock GAL7 to get up to...

Thanks for the quick input, guys! No need for acceleration doing line art in Illustrator under OS9, just looking to get as many pixels as I can squeeze out of the MDD. I can wait for redraws in GraphicConverter as well. What's the max resolution that absurd ADC port supports? Can't find an...

Setting up a 4-way HDMI KVM Switch. So I need a decent card that will do at least 1440p and 1920x1200, preferably in the digital output realm. DVI to HDMI cables I have on hand for the latter. No luck finding ADC to HDMI cable or adapter, only ADC to DVI with its severe limitations so no go for...

Glad to see more activity on this front again. Been wondering, is the PAS16 setup better than the G3 system/personality card, same or less capable?

Nice! Love the 2300cTB variants, trackballs rule! Apple shipped gawdawful trackpads until the G3 series. edit: everyone else shipped same in that period, not just Apple. ;)
