Can you try updating the disk driver from within Disk Utility? I've had issues with drives formatted/partitioned using FWB & Anubis and had to pretty much commit to using Lido... which I wouldn't imagine would give you any obvious benefit if it's an Apple-branded drive.

Awesome work! What material would you recommend?

Don’t forget a DDS-DC drive... :)

I wasn't concerned (at least initially) with getting it perfect. I had an AppleCD 300 (external) that I wanted to mount internally and, not having any 3D modeling or drafting experience, this was just-plain good enough for now. Surely it could be built on and made more durable but I didn't want...

Note: the bezel in the picture below is not 360alaska's model! But, while a bit flimsy (thin substrate and lacking the additional stability), about 6 months ago, I ordered a bezel in "White Natural Versatile Plastic" from Shapeways for $16 USD plus S&H and was able to install it without any...

Most excellent work!

I've tried everything from the paper clip "spring," to the rubber band, to a trimmed-down plastic card/shim and the fit still leaves something to be desired... sometimes mine doesn't chime at all or, if it does (after a whack to the right side), it's not stable until I pop the case, take out the...

I didn't mean to slight you or accuse you of ripping off an imperfect design - I honestly just misread your message. Sorry.

No, I wasn't implying anything like that - other than if you knew it was there, it could've saved you a bit of work. Turns out you did know it was there and used that as a starting point. The one I uploaded and printed from Shapeways has a slight gap on the right side but I think I used too thin...

With all due respect to @360alaska, I appreciate the work done on this (that seems to mirror the work that was documented here) - truly, I do - but so we’re on the same page, the bezel I’ve been asking for (which some folks actually have and have been willing to part with temporarily) is the...

Indeed it was - and it came with 4 x 16 MB SIMMs so it was a nice surprise. Still haven't gotten the 950 board sorted yet.

This is an excellent point and I didn't mention the roughly 20% of sessions where I have some sort of freeze... the rest of the time, it could run for days on end. Still, I do occasionally swap it back out for the 50 MHz 030 PowerCache to have a desk full of A/UX goodness (w/ a IIci, Q700 and Q950)

Not as fast as what I think it might do with a 601 card but that's just greedy... the Snooper benchmarks have it right there at 100% the speed of a (also 33 MHz) Quadra 950. 

Thanks for the offer! (I'm OP) I'm in DC this week but put me down for one - I'm almost certain my Turbo 040 has an older ROM. I'll PM you - I think I can find the original listing I bought it from and should be able to check the photos. 

That’s the clip for the PowerPump to “inject” a higher clock speed (configurable in the Control Panel) into the stock crystal (via the Output Enable pin on the IC that the red clip attaches to). So you could just reattach both leads and still be OK. Or are you going to go without (33/66 MHz for...

Yes, it can and has been done. Hence, the .bin file (yes, it's a ROM - ignore the file extensions) I linked you at the beginning of the thread when it took a turn towards JDW-ville :)  (the ROM dougg3 created for olePigeon). And we know creating and appending a ROM .dsk image can be done...

If it's like the two Thunder/24s and Spectrum/24 I have, then it's slightly different - you hold down Option past Happy Mac (even through the Welcome screen) and it should dump you to a black screen and start the cycle, and you would press the space bar to accept the current resolution/sync rate...

This is weird - I could have sworn I replied but must have closed my browser before I actually submitted. But it would have gone something like this: Thanks for these links, @bigmessowires - I had a question about a passing comment you made on your programmer's product page...

Weird - I won't rule out it's the PSU but it does boot with another MB installed (albeit with the ADB flakiness I describe above). But thanks for the observation - just goes to show the variability from one component to the next.

Personally, if I had a choice of ONE effort to dedicate my time to, (getting the ROM disk working on the SIMM I have that's already working with the Turbo 040, versus working on Turbo 601 compatibility) I would take the latter but that's because I have two Turbo 601s... obviously, if I didn't...
