Not sure if the 100 has termination power for that? But if so, no cable required. T or L shaped adapter will work great. Any of the whatever->SCI setups can be powered via USB port no?

If you have a desktop SCSI equipped Mac or PowerBook with adequate storage to spare, a SCSI Disk Mode Cable (or PB adapter with Disk Mode switch setup) will allow you to copy the PB100 disk's contents over to the host Mac's HDD in one fell swoop. ;) I'm right there with you on this, snagged my...

Interesting! @zigzagjoe With the flyback out of the way you can really clean up the cooling setup. - Apple used that Neolithic metal box thing to replace the elegant, higher efficiency bypass fan setup of the SE - print a longer, smooth, circular to square transition duct to replace that...

Now that I'm waking up, I see a possible problem. Luggable and PB100 use PSRAM with the direct addressing setup of SRAM. But the Compact Mac uses DRAM in Banks with CAS/RAS complications. Plus/SE/Classic may only have a single bank(?) but its setup is very different from PB100/Luggable, no...

It's 8MB as was mine in the day as soon as I could get an order off to APS for that card, their faster Modem, and a 230MB HDD for BabyPB. Since I've learned of the Portable's 9MB capability, I've been very curious about the RAM based Video Out card for the PB100. I wonder if Sony reserved the...

Love it, especially the three part modular approach! Opens up some possibilities there. The HDD module can be customized for my cooling system. Height/thickness can be optimized for stacking blower and a 2.5" HDD on top. Setting the chassis vertically into the case allows for foam...

Thanks, unfortunate that. Can an analog video output bodge work, given that limitation in RBV? How about digging up and posting that pretty IIsi/Compact ratsnest as inspiration for the dreamers? ;)

Yep, noted. That was a reply to @Arbee about PPC. Said such was way off topic and in need of a dedicated thread. ;) Re-read that portion of the thread earlier (after edit timeout) and saw you're taking non-hotplug hardware case into account. ROM/Driver playtime is out of my wheelhouse/way over...

Might you be wreaking havoc upon the IIsi's Vampire Video buffering that is set up at boot time? - sense lines detected at startup = 1MB of system memory buffered for use as VRAM. - no monitor connected = no buffering of first Meg. - hotplug monitor/sense lines after boot = all kinds of havoc...

Dunno, PPC is way off topic, characteristically insane and in need of a dedicated thread here, but makes more sense to me to start out with a PPC board. Q630 form factor PPC boards fit for transplant as is. Though well beyond current capabilities. A second gen reloaded PPC board (with cache)...

🤣 FINALLY! @Bolle when did you do that IIsi in SE/30 form factor rats nest? Looked, but can't find that layout from years back. Apparently I'd put a bug in your ear in a thread about this very thing. You PM'd me with the diagram saying you'd been dragged into it. Still got that beauty squirreled...

Yep, LEM Fables are definitely a thing to be aware of, but it's a very good site and even great sites like everymac miss the boat on some issues as well. The one thing I cannot forgive is LEM's incessant comparison of high end "Accelerated NuBus VidCards" as being "slower" than "Onboard Video."...

May not even need the PicoPSU? Offer accepted on LCD/Controller with a 12V input, same as CM4! Might a very simple Capacitor/Resistor board do the trick? If I go with the PicoPSU all I'd need would be current limiting resistors on two of the 12V lines. Looking good for a setup running off the...

That's what I meant, I've typed PDS so many times DSP just wouldn't roll off my fingertips! 🤣 Card above is minus, the DSP connector: Gotta run TattleTech to find out what model it is, guessing Futura II SX, but w/o provision for DSP. I've never seen one like that. Both my cards lack the...

That E-Machines card is interesting: + 7 inch + Rotary Switch +NIC Header +NIC Cutout on bracket - PDS Header????? Not a clue. :unsure:
