    OmniTalk WIP AIO AppleTalk Router, MacIP Gateway and AFP Server

    publishing specs for something you made... only for it to get vacuumed up, digested, and sharted out into yet another bit of slopware... ..and to crown it all the robots steal the name of your project for some other thing! real smack in the face for sure.

    beep out the audio circuit. verify that sound is actually reaching the speaker when there's nothing plugged in, etc

    @robin-fo silly internal apple app from a site licensed disc. it's basically "Talking Moose" but with Bjarne Stroustrup instead. i'm guessing some people found C++ to be a pain 🤣

    No Sound Se/30 Reloaded board

    there's a microswitch in the headphone jack that mutes the speaker when headphones are connected... sounds like it's screwy. I'd just swap it for a spare.

    No Sound Se/30 Reloaded board

    considering it's booting, it's probably something in the amplifier circuit... all you really need to diagnose that is a multimeter. when you say no sound... do you mean no sound from the speaker? if you plug in headphones, do you hear sound?

    PowerBook DUO 230 No backlight

    @ThisDoesNotCompute has the PenLite/210/230 schematics! As shown off in his video here I hope he does the community a solid and releases these! Just think of all the machines this could help!

    UMAX S900 AKA Pulsar - First boot chime, then no chime

    beware, some of those will wire the ground pins together. fine for svideo, but on ADB that shorts +5v to data. not good!

    IIci will not power on

    for ICs that far gone.. I'd honestly just cut the legs with a nipper, remove the package, and then slide the remaining legs off the board with flux and solder.

    BlueSCSI Laptop to external WiFi Antenna?

    from what I understand... there is no place to connect an antenna to the pico. otherwise.. it would be a great idea :) outside the scope of the thread I think ;) you could... but why would you? lots of pain for little gain. just use an SD extender if you need to expose the slot.

    Macintosh SE Dead ADB Ports/IC

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

    SCSI to SATA?

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

    Question about the Macintosh Portable

    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...

    000000E 0000FFFF, Broken hinge, scratched screen Portable

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