I recently picked up a Color Classic in unknown condition. The first thing I did was recap the logic board. I tried powering up (using a known-good ADB keyboard that works with soft power on my IIsi), and nothing. No beep, no fan, no hard drive spinning up. Just an extremely quiet whine that...

I just picked up a CC and am starting the troubleshooting process. I recapped the AB, and like many others it was clear my DL21 and DL22 diodes had been hot. Both diodes look ok, the cases are fine, but I want to replace them in case they are playing into my no-sign-of-life issue (machine...

I don't have any experience with the Novy board, but I have built a couple Performer clones, and have one in my Plus. I detailed the build in another thread (link), as well as showing a pic of the pin headers I used to mount the board to the 68000. I also have some benchmark info in that...

Have you checked eBay? This might be what you need. Search for "MC68030FE", FE is the QFP surface mount packaging. There are a ton of listings...

The Performer clone is designed to work in a Plus, SE, or Classic. The original was reverse engineered by Bolle, here is a link to the page if you are interested. This same card works fine in my SE using the same boot disk with the same drivers, which definitely makes me think it is a SCSI...

Moving this post to its own thread, I originally added it to an existing post on a related topic and probably few people will see it there. I have a Performer clone I built that works fine in my SE, and I recently installed it in my Plus. The machine works fine booting from my BlueSCSI v1.1...

I have a Performer clone I built (thanks @Bolle) that works fine in my SE, and I recently installed it in my Plus. The machine works fine booting from my BlueSCSI v1.1 without the accelerator drivers installed, when I install the drivers (I have tried GemStart 2.2 and 3.0) the machine freezes...

I also wouldn't object if they edited my post to make it vaguer or remove it entirely. I was not thinking of the potential privacy issues at the time.

Good idea on the solder wick, I hadn't thought of that. I have an IIsi PSU with one dodgy large trace that I repaired with possibly too-small wire. It's a backup unit so I wasn't too worried at the time, but that trace seems like a good candidate to re-do with solder wick.

Thanks for all the info, it's very helpful.

After watching Bruce's videos I bought some coated wire similar to what he was using. Unlike his wire coating that melts very quickly with heat, the coating on my wire seems rather immune to heat. I have had to carefully strip the coating off with a razor before using for repairs. Does anyone...

Or buy him a beer for not tossing it into the trash 20 years ago! 🍻 And then a stern scolding on the battery.

I wouldn't bet my life on this, but... WDL is the normal abbreviation for Washington Driver's License, and that string of numbers and letters follows the pre-2018 drivers license numbering format. First 5 letters of last name, first name initial, middle name initial, 2-digit number consists of...

Neat cards, thanks for adding to the collection. Are board files for those available for DIY projects?

Did you ever get the machine working? I just picked up a CC I haven't dug into yet, I'm trying to figure out what issues I might face.

I don't have a good idea what something like this is worth. The useful part is the bracket, as others have mentioned the drive is likely dead, and the usefulness of the bracket is questionable depending on what it actually does. Someone might like the fact it has the box. Shipping would be...

Oh yeah... A splash screen AND a badge, for something that you basically could have ordered as a factory option (granted 20mb). I like the splash screen on my 512k HyperDrive, I feel like it is appropriate, this one seems a bit excessive.

It's not "F1", it's "FI" (letter I). I have a FI/30 in a Mac SE, as stated above it is an aftermarket internal hard drive.

I just re-capped my Astec PSU today. I am not sure if there are multiple versions of the Astec power supply, but mine had a 2200uF 16v cap that is not on the list, photo attached. I grabbed a cap I had laying around it was a bit narrower (5mm) than the original cap. The original looks like...

I only installed it in my plus once, I took it out for now until I recap the AB since it may be a bit weak, the machine was struggling with both the accelerator and BlueSCSI using SCSI power. I didn't see any fitment issues, but I didn't look closely. I might be able to check later today...
