    2N6394 equivalent

    Hi everyone, I have a faulty 2N6394 (Q8) in the Analogue Board of a Mac Plus. Is there an equivalent thyristor I can use? I found 2N6395 sold by Aliexpress, I'm not sure what I will get ... I'm willing to try it, I don't have other options. Is it? thanks

    Classic analog board restarting

    Hi mates, I have an analogue board from a Mac Classic that wasn’t working. There was visible corrosion from a leaking capacitor, but it seemed fairly isolated. I’ve now replaced all the capacitors, and I’m getting a steady 5V and 12V from the Molex connector with the digital board...

    Get an old Mac on the web?

    I've been using this for a while, the problem I have is that it can not save bookmarks. Also editing text on a web page, like in a search box, is a little cumbersome, but for point and click it's ok

    Mac Classic 1.44mb Drive Issue - Video Attached

    Weird that after the insertion of the disk, the heads do not move back and forth to align with track 0. It's hard to tell, the initialization is a blind process, and the validation checks/reads if it was performed by reading back. I'd check the pressure on the heads, there is a small spring in...

    End of battery-bombed SE/30 restoration?

    I have a similar issue with a bombed SE/30, in my case the short is across A8 and A9, and I was not able to find where it is. https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/salvaging-bombed-se-30-rom-lines-a-8-a-9-shorted.48612/ I guess the acid went down inside the PCB in a via and it shorted two...

    Carrera040 & RominatorII on SE/30 compatibility issues

    No worries @croissantking , it's clearly a very rare circumstance here. You offered a refund on a private conversation, very kind of you. We will work it out. A different ROM image is not the culprit because it boots from my SD, my image. An electronic issue? It might be, but it's outside of...

    Carrera040 & RominatorII on SE/30 compatibility issues

    thanks @jmacz for the insignt, I'm looking for suggestions here. I will do some more tests enabling/disabling the cache, but what puzzles me is that the 68040 with the Rominator becomes so host that I can barely touch it even before enabling it in the control panel and the screen freezes, while...

    Things to Do With Your Networked Vintage Mac

    in my case, if the mac is not connected to the Internet the boot process takes a minute more . it takes too much time to realise that there is no connection and stop trying. The boot process is probably running in a single process, no threads, but more expert guys here can contribute I...
