Board has been assembled and..... Booted almost the first time, I made two small assembly errors (swapped two transistors and rotated a 26LS30 90 degrees form where it should be) and the crystal for the audio circuit was bad. No changes where made to the board to get it to boot :) after a...

The boards are 4 layers, Signals all on the outer layers with power on the inner, I have the inners layers hidden in those pictures as otherwise you would just see a solid block

Thanks :) Nope, personally I don't like soldering PLCC or QFP parts with paste, I find I end up spending more time fixing bridges than if I just hand solder them. Will be hand soldering the lot :) I was looking at getting the birdseed on the bottom PNP'd but it ended up costing too much for a...

Purple shiny things arrived yesterday :) Currently assembling them, might take a little while

Thanks :) Opening up the designs is something that will be considered in the future but is not something we can do right now

Don't tell the purists but I have a IIci where I replaced the 68030 with a Ryzen 5 2600 :ROFLMAO:

There is a full Schematic to go with it, I went with a traceing becuse if someone else has worked out the board routing why reinvent the wheel :) Already on my radar, Will need some significant rerouting of the bottom of the board and proably require deleting the parity circuit (But how many...

*looks up* Says nothing.....

I should provably do that one day for all my boards! :)

Board designs are all on github (well except form the IIci as it's untested currently and it looks like @Bolle hasn't posted the 475 yet) LC/LCII/LCIII/IIcx and Plus are on my Github: https://github.com/max234252 SE 30 (and proably eventually the 475) are on Bolle's...

Something I have been working on recently: It's a near 1:1 reproduction with some minor rerouting where this made sense. Boards are on order, should be here in a couple of weeks Not much more to say (other than thanks to @Kai Robinson for providing the donor board I used) you have all seen...

Getting there.....

I have considered making clones of the SCSI only iProRaid but figured there wouldn't be enough people interested, it's a pretty simple card and would be easy to clone. Also did about making a iMac SATA card but also figured the market would be too small for it to be worth it (plus there are...

The TechSteps are coming!

Could just be that the board was just fragile, but it could also be that not enough down pressure was applied to the cap when it was being twisted (not trying to criticise the way you did it, just noting it because not applying down pressure is a common mistake)

Another day another project, I wonder what this rather generic looking schematic segment could be part of.....

My only concern with those USB-C to magsafe adapters is what voltage are they requesting form the PD charger? Apple use either 14.5, 16.5 or 18.5V depending on the wattage of the brick, USB PD supports 15v which would be in the acceptable range but I suspect most adapters will ask the PD charger...

I happen to have a 1.33Ghz mini sitting on my desk awaiting reassembly and can confirm R52 is not fitted As a odd aside this mini is badged as a 1.25Ghz unit but is actually a 1.33Ghz one, I wonder if this was a case of apple using old stock shells or of this had a in warranty MLB replacement...
