aren't the ADB ports usually fused? Maybe not on the SE though.

SCSI to SATA adapters do exist, but they're rather expensive and very overkill for the SCSI-1 bus in a 68k mac.

good work. bodges will get easier over time. i dunno what you mean by that. what's an "external power bridger"? start simple. remove the disk, remove the bluescsi. power on. what do you see? share a good photo. then, try to boot from a floppy disk, share a good photo of that. if you press...

the scratches are likely in the plastic polarizer... which is replaceable. but not for the faint of heart...

the ch products rollermice have an apple keyboard 1 / aek1 style curve... but otherwise don't match I just saw this one too:

looks good... but you gotta pick a better font for the small text! have you flipped thru the various human interface guidelines?

I actually think “OmniSlop” is the most appropriate name for this project, specifically because it’s AI-generated. If you look at what this system is doing—combining an AppleTalk router, MacIP gateway, AFP server, and potentially more—it’s not something that emerged from a single, clean...

number one probably just needs a deep clean and recap. scrub or blow all the dust off, remove the old surface mount capacitors... clean up the leaked electrolyte. number two will need more work. clean the dust off the board, remove the battery crust... neutralize the corrosion with white...

iisi i think. are you SURE your glu is busted?

pb170 schematics here. good starting point... i think it's supposed to be ADB btw

sounds like the person who recapped it didn't properly clean the leaked electrolyte :) multimeter is halfway there... i hope you have a soldering iron too? :LOL: start by pulling the board out and looking at all the capacitor areas. normally, I'd link recapamac.com.au... but it seems to be...

try disk first aid or diskwarrior. i know diskwarrior 1.x.x supports system 7... but i don't know if it's archived anywhere.

crack them open and check for leaked batteries, then you can work out where to go from there. watch out for the crt neck board when working in the case... it's a tight squeeze in there. make sure you're not removing the rear bucket at an angle. if you're not careful, you can bump the neck...

please don't defloppy the sparcstation. it deserves better than that. it needs some SunOS4 and NeWS goodness.

yup, sparcstation floppy drives have auto-eject. hmm why not try a gotek floppy emulator? those are configurable depending on which firmware you have installed, and should support those two signals. other than that you'd have to find an mfm floppy drive that has the complete shugart pinout...

🤣 been there... it's easy to forget you're using AIR and not a funny heat beam. 🤔 you know, there's a lot of space in the IIfx case... could probably rework the simm designs to make them larger and easier to hand solder. the tradeoff would be more expensive pcb fabrication costs...

finally, a GOOD mac atx adapter :) excellent work.

the implementation is probably similar to the one in the lpx-40 reference design. glad someone is messing with it now, saves me the trouble :LOL: now you gotta populate the cache slot and downgrade the cpu
