    HDI-45 to VGA DIY attempt

    Hey, that's me! I think we have a solid, repeatable solution now. Posted the details on github: https://github.com/wottle/HDI-45-Adapters I have a DA-15 and HD-15 version, along with DIY instructions. If you don't want to deal with that, I have partnered withJoes Computer Museum to build a...

    Solutions for HDI45 to VGA or DB15?

    Yeah, I'm hoping these will help people out. I've been clinging to the one adapter I have that came with my 6115 for a few years now. I'll be able to keep a couple of these around for my 6100 and 8100 as well.

    Design68: A 65% replacement keyboard using AppleDesign controllers

    😂 Ha, my impatience gets me again! I will probably just do the trace cutting I did on the previous build. But I do think it is awesome to add that selectable key config. Are you just going to add some headers with jumpers to decide between the two settings? Or is there a cleaner approach...

    Solutions for HDI45 to VGA or DB15?

    FYI, I have finished building a PCB and 3d printed case to solve this. I built two versions. One is HDI-45 to VGA (HD-15). The other is a HDI-45 to DA-15. I made this mainly because I also have several DOS compatibility cards and the Y cable for it works with a DA-15 connector. Also, some...

    Design68: A 65% replacement keyboard using AppleDesign controllers

    OK, I put in an order and I'm only building ONE. One with transparent switches and transparent keycaps for my MacEffects clear SE/30 build. (I will likely keep one PCB in case I need to do any key manipulation like I did before, but I will have 3 I'm looking to pass along quickly to keep myself...

    PowerBook Power Supply Connector (520/520c/540/540c)

    Unfortunately, it was the "Black resin" option that it looks like they are phasing out - I don't believe you can use it for new orders. It was a really nice option for Powerbooks - still too dark, but not a black, more of a dark gray. It also had nice, smooth finish that almost had a soft...

    PowerBook Power Supply Connector (520/520c/540/540c)

    I went through so many cutoff blades on my Dremel!!! ;) However, these connectors aregreat, and I highly recommend JLC3DP for printing in resin for a very professional finish.

    Design68: A 65% replacement keyboard using AppleDesign controllers

    I may order a set. I think 5 runs something like $25-30. But as I said, I don't have the self control not to build all five if the PCBs are laying around. If you and anyone else wanted to take some of the boards off my hands, I could do the re-order on JLCPCB...

    Design68: A 65% replacement keyboard using AppleDesign controllers

    Does anyone have an extra PCB they'd be willing to sell me? I can order a new batch of 5, but I don't trust myself to not try to build all 5 (key caps and switches get expensive! Trying to build one with clear keycaps to go with my transparent SE/30 and transparent mouse And would prefer...

    Design68: A 65% replacement keyboard using AppleDesign controllers

    And I'm back! I love this keyboard, but had to switch it out when I got that Apple IIe card because the escape key is how you switched back to the Mac side when in Apple II mode. Thanks again!

    Design68: A 65% replacement keyboard using AppleDesign controllers

    Ah, I didn't think about being able to cut the trace after removing the switch... Brilliant! And I already re-assembled my keyboard... Back to the workbench... Thanks so much for getting this information!

    Recapped IIci / IIcx Rapidly switches off and on once warmed up

    Added new components, ran bodge wires where the pads had lifted, and the machine boots again! Unfortunately, the lack of soft power off that it had before it stopped working at all remains. I verified I have continuity from UB13 pin 1 and UE9 pin 60, which I believe has the soft power signal...

    Design68: A 65% replacement keyboard using AppleDesign controllers

    Actually, after looking at the board, I just realized the traces for the X pin for those appears to be on the top of the board, and unless I'm mistaken, I won't be able to access the top of the board without removing every switch. So, looks like I might need to order another batch of PCBs and...

    Design68: A 65% replacement keyboard using AppleDesign controllers

    I believe it does. So If I attach a key switch with the top right pin to the top right pin of wither TAB or CAPS LOCK, and the bottom left pin to the bottom left pin from the right shift or UP ARROW key, that should enable that switch to function as an escape key, Then I could cut the traces...

    Design68: A 65% replacement keyboard using AppleDesign controllers

    100%. I just don't understand enough about the circuit to know where I'd need to do that. If you can give me an idea of how I'd need to setup the new switch to send an escape signal, I'd definitely go for it. I'd be willing to document it for you and others. And as you said, I could do a...

    Design68: A 65% replacement keyboard using AppleDesign controllers

    @demik, I love my keyboards. One problem I ran into recently is that I use it with my Color Classic. Recently, I got an Apple II card for it, and found that I finally can't live without an escape key. How easy / hard would it be to make one that maps the page up / page down keys to escape and...

    Recapped IIci / IIcx Rapidly switches off and on once warmed up

    I definitely had some damage under those ICs... When the new chips come in, I'll have some bodge wires to run, but thanks for the schematic to make it easier to track down where things should go.

    Sorry to hear that. I hope things are better / getting better.
