i think it's more likely that you just had crud shorting pins on the mainboard, and the chip swap cleaned it up.

ooo colour icons. this is awesome.

buy the connectors, build your own cables? that would probably be the most economical route..

only reason i'd use a tower would be to steal the molex power.

with scsi, i'd use a Zulu-compatible scsi emulator that has initiator mode. that will image the drives well... all you need is two drive enclosures and appropriate cabling. for ide, i'd get an ide/usb adapter and image with a modern computer.

did you try reinstalling the old simms? does it power up fine with them installed?

i like this project. very cool to have this information readily available i do have one gripe though: these weird highlight scroller elements are really annoying. any way to replace them with regular buttons?

there was no discouragement. merely sobering advice :) no reason to go overboard buying accessories when it hasn't been repaired yet. either way it looks like you're getting offended on behalf of someone who.. is not 🤔

PCI token ring cards do exist, and a number (all?) work with MacOS... but i'm not sure if the driver is included with installs normally.

1) that machine needs capacitor replacement.... rather important, they can be unstable without that repair being completed! 2) by floppy to sd adapter I assume you mean "floppy emu". it's a good start, but without a scsi emulator or hard disk you're going to be rather limited to whatever fits...

that's more than a launcher question :LOL: launcher has it's own "Launcher Items Folder", that's what it builds off of. the menu bar? possibly, but seems like a lot of pain for not much gain. i would ignore google ai as it has a great habit of lying.

this sounds like broken traces somewhere. did you beep out the scsi lines with a multimeter?

where's the putdown? please highlight it. i don't think it's bad advice to suggest not running around and buying every bit of hardware possible. start small and simple

i'll be real man. you're getting way ahead of yourself. practice your recapping skills first, then start shopping. also, don't buy that flux/wick bundle... that's not where you want to save money. stick to brand name, like mg chemicals or kester something like this is fine for a battery

ifixit is usually pretty bad for vintage computers. follow the service source takeapart guide.

correct. I can't remember the exact part number I used, but that should be the right value.

just remember to choose the right thickness. as the github project says, it's best to use a reflow oven type soldering process... that does indeed involve the stencil.

i made some of those, they work well.

why aren't you asking the seller to replace it? you'd risk getting another defective one?

no, you should request a refund from the seller. it would appear they're not doing any product testing after manufacturing. this isn't the first defective purpleram product i've heard about... buyer beware I guess.
