Thanks! I guess, it is the more heat that worries me as everything just lifted from 330C heat (though it could be counter-intuitive to me). I think reflowing is a great idea. I plan to redo all of the caps, but the first went so poorly, I've stopped there. The through holes should be straight...
I need your experienced advice.
Some background: I have recapped about half a dozen Macintosh logic boards, never with a single issue. I don't have a desoldering gun, but I will typically just use flux and solder wick to draw out the solder from under the SMD electrolytics. Always has been...
Sorry, I have a non-turbo (25 MHz) Cube. Wikipedia has a nice-resolution photo you can zoom into for the 25MHz Cube. I can take a finer if you prefer. I took a number of measurements for you. I have a lower res photo attached with dimensions below to give you a sense for fitment.
The 68040...
I pulled my Cube logic board today, and the CPU is socketed. I can do some measurements for you to check the fitment. Just send me the dimensions of the board. I could 3D print a mockup too.
There was a 50MHz accelerator advertised for the cube: Orb Pyro. I don't know if it ever shipped, but it states:
Other than the link above, I haven't found any technical details or whether it ever shipped. Anyone know?
This is great! I have my original NeXTCube I need to dig out. Apart from possible physical fitment issues, I would think that this should work with the cube motherboard. At least with the cube, I can put the motherboard in any slot to make room (just have to get different drive cables to reach...
