Found out the battery in my Radius 81/110 leaked at some point in the last couple of years. Doesn't appear to have exploded, though I can't get to it for another year or so, in week nine of rotator cuff surgery recovery and that thing is well and truly buried. Not too worried about the...

Yikes, looks like Dresden after the RAF worked it over in WWII! I wonder if I have any of that brand in one of my machines? I've mostly pulled 'em all and use "new" blue ones from what's probably too long ago to trust. Found out the battery in my Radius 81/110 leaked at some point in the last...

In that '90s timeframe I set up a few computers at Goodwill for fun one day and they sent me out the door with a free SE/30.:D Never was all that interested in it or the SE/30 in general until I wound up roping @Bolle and @joethezombie into my madcap reboot of gamba's abandoned PowerCache...

Loving your VidCard hijinks! Keep 'em coming. :) Have any suggestions for flashable to Mac OS9 PCI cards that'll do 1920x1200 DVI output? edit: side note; does anyone have Mac compatible suggestions for same?

Don't remember, but you may need to pull the Accelerator and install the drivers for it first? It has been a VERY long time. edit: ISTR needing a ROM upgrade for my Radius16 to move into System 7?

Can't imagine OEM LCD & HDD elimination will not net enough power to run all manner of such upgrades.

@trag how about hopping onto this bandwagon? Your in depth Outbound chops would be greatly appreciated I'm sure. ;)

Dunno, lots of folks are a dab hand with digital calipers and 3D CAD. Slots for the handle mechanism would be the only real challenge. I've a second lid available to loan out for the effort. ;) Also have an extra inner chassis etc. for loan as well. That would unlock all manner of reversible...

Portable is pretty much a Macintosh SE remix*** as is the Powerbook 100 a Luggable remix, so definitely a pre- Color QuickDraw single bit proposition. *** It can use SE Expansion Cards (IIRC a pair) in an external (SecondWave?) Adapter Box. Never thought of this before, but one of the cards...

I'm waiting for someone to model the LCD bezel side of the lid for printing. Just a flat panel so trackball divots can be eliminated and bezel for any size LCD becomes possible. Put a NumPad in place of TrackBall or come up with a (yuck!) TrackPad replacement and all type of modification hell...

Nope, gotta have most of the top plate of the chassis masked off with the fan set up to pull air up from the basement/MoBo thru the unmasked openings. Even the area around the A/B umbilical would be reduced to a minimum. The fan would be positioned so as to blow exactly where you've indicated...

Was thinking about this and might have come up with a more efficient method. Haven't got ready access to a Plus ATM, but a combination of Radius' redirection baffle with a printed duct using a fan to pull more air in thru the side/front vents for cooling upgrades directly to over-pressure the...

Interesting, nicely done. Mechanical Engineer middle little brother did blade server packaging design. We talked about cooling in this context and he said that anytime a fan is introduced into a system designed for convection cooling, convection goes out the window. No criticism whatsoever...

LOL! The first thing that came to mind the one and only time I've seen these atrocities IRL was on parent's day at Stuyvesant High School (Hackers) was that the little geniuses there were having a bit of fun sticking Apple Logos on utter crap PC's in the school library. Be that as it may, I do...

Nope, a rightey, lefties have it easier when living one handed, says my lefty ex with recent broken wrist. It has indeed been eight years: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/micromac-performer-redux-cloning-a-68030-accelerator-for-compact-macs.30332/

Directly back on topic: It's nice to see we're on the same page. I've had a tube of thruhole GAL sockets leaning across the back of the HackHutch™ for almost all of those eight years! KISS principal compliance in assembly! :)

Luggable version of the Performer is something I did a lot of Illustrator dreamwork upon in the far distant past. Having Performer discussions here hit page one again is thrilling to me. With a new age magician like @zigzagjoe chiming in here this dinosaur has hopes for further Performer...

That's just the last five weeks post-op, but I've been pretty much been off the KBD/mouse since injury at work five months ago. Got addicted to YouBoobTube vids even right handed instead.

Interesting, so it might work on the Portable PDS as well, no? Those were my two wildest dreams way back then. Has anyone done an 030 in the Luggable? I've been out of it around here for so long I haven't a clue. I've been doing everything wrong handed recovering from rotator cuff surgery...

Cache, on board memory and faster clock were features on the higher tier Performer models. Thanks much for explaining the source of the problem! @Bolle never told me that it was a problem with DSACK. I'll bounce this pipe dream off you right here: might the Performer be miniaturized into a...
