It won't be pretty, but Netscape 4.0 was available for 68k (here is a link - MacBinary II Navigator 4.08) and I imagine that could be used. I believe deviantArt works in iCab to some extent, but I haven't personally tried that - not having used iCab before. It's good to see enthusiasm for the...

That's 6.0.8L, correct? Where does one find this version? I have 6.0.8 here but not 6.0.8L ...

Ok, I've fixed that right up, I hope :b&w: If I might beg your indulgence just a little further, could I please get close-up photos of the caps on YOUR classic II board? It seems that the amount of caps varied a little between some of the boards, and as i'll be getting the caps and the...

OH MY GOD, I LOVE THIS THREAD SO MUCH. (Imma go steal that now. Congratulations, you're about to be remembered forever.)

Ok... Uh, I hope you'd excuse the request, but would it be able to be set for /next/ weekend please? I'll need to have money to give you, and that happens next thursday (not tomorrow, but the following) - because basically I'm intending to pay you! :p I'm about to go poke trag with a list of...

... That's still only 80*80, the original is 512*512 which is far more agreeable! :( Not to derail this nice tangent, but about the board? What are your thoughts Mars?

Plumbing solder is 50/50 Tin/Lead. Electrical solder is 60/40 Tin/Lead. The very early soldering (with the giant pokerirons that you'd heat in an oven or fire) would probably have been done only with the half-and-half. I'm of the understanding that the ideal ratio of tin to lead in solder...

Uh, solder has been 60% tin / 40% lead for a VERY long time... I'm in Australia. And I'm referring to that many kits now come with the leadless solder - somewhat serviceable when you're starting a project, but perhaps less so when it comes repair or tear-down time.

You're welcome to tell me it's an inappropriate name, but I can't think of a better description for what I did to it :( Btw, I have thought that if you would like I can ship you back (with me covering it) my now-a-little-difficult-to-fix classic II board - that way, if you decide to sell or...

I hear ya. I assembled a DMM with solder that was 99.3% Tin, and 0.7% Copper ... very hard to work! Thankfully it wasn't TOO much of an adventure. RoHS - making electronics hobbyists' lives hell since ... when did the EU sign up to that garbage?

Just before I post the photo, a thought a friend of mine had about SimasiMac: It made my day :D Here you go - a high-resolution photograph of the current state of the board... (it's 7MB, so be warned fairly) And a preview :p

$20 AU wouldn't be soooo bad... but I'd still probably see the whole machine for that ... what's your US exchange rate like at the moment? I think it's something like 0.75? How does $15AU take your fancy (probably ends up being just over $10US, possibly closer to $11) and I'll also cover...

I hear Classic IIs aren't that expensive today, what with all the iMacs that are out :p A very long time ago, when I was repairing a PowerBook 1xx (I don't remember the /exact/ one) for a friend (battery issues) I actually gave myself significant burns across my hand while I was working - I...

As with many civilised places on the tubes, I'm led to believe. Way ahead of you, and in many ways behind. I attempted this already. As I said, the solder won't take to the board. I know it's not a problem with my technique as I assembled a multimeter a few days ago without incident. I agree...

suggest a price ... seriously, I don't have money out the ears but I am looking to get this machine working. If your board doesn't work I'll just strip the analogue board down to parts and keep the CRT as a spare for my Mac 128k once I figure out how to get it repaired. ( p.s. could you...

I do know what a via is. I'm saying, I accidentally ripped off the top of one that the trace from the cap lead went to - i now have NOTHING to solder to. the ... I think the word is "annulus" of the via is GONE. Mars' assessment that I am up a certain creek without a certain propulsion device is...

some person on deviantArt who did it. it's a 512*512 png - I personally converted it to a finder icon :D Other than that you're in NY, that sounds pretty cool ... maybe I'd screw that one up less. I should really buy some recaps off trag. the electros I used can't have done much good. How much...

Ok... another update. I've scraped off the solder mask over that via that leads to C8 very delicately, and tried to solder a wire to it. bad idea - the wire wouldn't stay in place as the solder was heating up . Long story short, I ripped out the top of the via connected to C8 + by accident...

Ok... an update. I decided the solder joints probably didn't take due to me not cleaning the pads after desoldering, and hence them possibly having electrolyte still on them. This was borne out when i desoldered all the replaced caps and found many sticky points, so I'm now going to wash those...

Please do go there. It's rubbish, I know that. I was actually wondering if cold solder joints (it was very difficult to work on that board with my iron) could possibly be to blame.
