    Troubleshooting a IIcx with Rominator

    What's the speed on that Plus RAM? It may not be fast enough for the IIcx. So, swap that RAM into Bank A and see what happens. If it boots, you know it's the RAM, if not, you narrowed down where to dig deeper.

    SE/30 - Design for Drop in Replacement Power Supply

    Totally understand... it's not so much looking to be cheap / and certainly not asking for a "kit" - which would imply all parts are included. A quick look here in the UK has the larger power modules working out at ~$20-25 each and the smaller at ~$10-15, so eliminating their weight and 'value'...

    SE/30 - Design for Drop in Replacement Power Supply

    Power Computing PowerBase & PowerCenter Boot issues

    Are you pressing the CUDA button when you pop the [either] G3 card in? It's been a while since I up"d my PowerCenter to a G3, but I'm pretty sure I needed to do this - and several times. I've also seen occasions (wutg other PMs I've upgraded) where there was no "bong", but the Mac started up...

    New theory on the cause of the infamous Tunnel Vision problem - Testers needed!

    Am curious about this statement... did you mean "de"humidifier? Also, you say "tunnelling didn't return" - does that mean you 'fixed' it?

    Powerbook 1400 16mb ram module upgrade to 24mb

    I have not. My 3400Cs are all in bits. I'll try to find time to put one (mostly) together and check out @croissantking's wizardry. The 180c card he populated for me works great! 🙂

    64K ROM support for Lisa Widget drive?

    I've just come across in an old thread a remark by @Mac128 that "I have measured the cabinet and confirmed that the HD20 will accept a Widget drive. The HD20 is identical to the 20SC cases which were intended to take 3.5 & 5.25 inch full height drives. Likely why the HD20 was an inch taller...

    Ray Lynch Mac setup from 1991

    Judging by the keyboard, I'd guess a Macintosh Plus. No idea on the s/w, but here's a screenshot in case it helps someone identify :

    Quack: Bluetooth & ADB Mouse "Dongle" for the Macintosh 128/512/Plus

    Aww... bummer. After stripping & cleaning mine, plus adding an 8-ball :cool: [https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/better-trackball-for-kensington-turbo-mouse.46169/] - it's my favorite pointy device. I'd still like one, and will be happy to help with the journey - will at least be able to...

    Coolest 68k Powerbooks to own?

    My 180C came with a partly populated Kingston (IIRC) card - a local wizard I know lifted chips from some other PB RAM cards I had and fully populated the 180C card to the max! 🙂

    Coolest 68k Powerbooks to own?

    Not yet... got distracted with the PB 100 restoration, my PM8500 upgrade to dual 604s + BeOS, some early version BlueSCSI & SCSI2SD shenanigans (which impacted the PM8500 u/g :confused:) ... so ... haven't popped open the 180C to fit that shiny new RAM card. Getting close, though, re-capping...

    Coolest 68k Powerbooks to own?

    ...cap leakage issues / other logicboard failures and general unreliability of SE/30s are what keeps me away from them. :LOL: Not to dis the SE/30 (or 68k PowerBooks) but these old Macs are just that - old - so, routine TLC and preventative maintenance comes with the territory. For me, my 68k...
