I'm in Wolcott and work in Cromwell.  Never actually been to C&C but I've heard great things about them,  gotta make my way over there one of these days

What parts store?  Cables and Connectors in Newington?

I don't know if it was someone did all that work, as I got an SE FDHD a couple of years a go with the same thing, and it didn't look like the socket was added after the fact.  Maybe some revision SEs have the wired in batteries, and some have the socket?

I have some leftover woodgrain vinyl from a woodgrain pentium build I did a while ago(inspired by LGR's woodgrain 486) Luckily that stuff is pretty easy to remove, so I might give it a try

Yeah, that was my other thought.  Either make it black, or even some other color(gray?  wrap it in woodgrain vinyl?)

Got this from a buddy of mine,  no hard drive but at least boots to the question mark.  Very yellowed though, might be a good candidate to retrobrite

I'm gonna try to make it out there this year,  gotta see what my financial situation looks like, but my fingers are crossed that I'll be able to go

Good point on using it externally, never even considered that to be fair.   If the rascsi works with the Pi Zero though, I have a decent amount of spares of those

I've definitely considered the SCSI2SD and will probably go with that for some of my machines, but I have a good amount of machines that I don't use often enough to justify the $50+ pricetag on.  

bump.  Internet would be nice, but to me at least that's not as important as HDD emulation

Has anyone successfully gotten this to work on a Mac yet? I have a question with how this works if I have some boards made.  Is the pi getting power from the floppy connector through the GPIO pins?, or does it need its own power source.  I'm assuming the former since it appears the power line...

Somehow just discovered this thread.  This stuff is really cool, thank you for sharing it!

I haven't done much troubleshooting yet(have a couple of other projects I'm working on first), but what lead me to the flyback is the dead mac scrolls.  Would definitely be good if it wasn't the flyback.   What're your thoughts the best way to determine what the issue is?  Inspect the analog...

Yeah, probably the best idea actually.  Especially if I find a FDHD that was a victim of the maxwell bomb with the ROM/SWIM chips intact

Don't want to hijack this topic, so at some point I'll create another topic and/or send PMs.  I'll be out of the country for the first half of october, but maybe late october/early november might be a good time? Never knew we had so many CT members!  

I was at a video game convention in NJ over the weekend(Funnily enough, it was actually called A Video Game Con), and at one of the booths there was a Mac SE with a sign taped to it saying something along the lines of "we accept trades" or something like that.  Long story short I ended up asking...

Almost sounds like we should do a CT 68kmla meetup

The Bandai Pippin motherboard appears to be about 7x7 if my very scientific guessing is correct(looking at a picture of it and using my thumbnail to guess how many 1/2 AA batteries can stretch across) According to this post someone got System 7.5.5 running on it...

https://i.imgur.com/LbzVkTo.jpg Success! Got the new board in last week, moved the ROM and SWIM from the old board(SE FDHD) to the new one(regular SE).  Booted up first try The front case is in real nice shape for the mostpart, but the back needs some retrobrighting

Yeah the black looks really nice.  Wish i had gotten to this machine before the Maxell exploded, but then probably wouldn't have gotten it for as cheap as I did Thanks!  The paint does not conduct electricity, so anywhere that ground wires attach, I've been sanding the paint off to expose the...
