So, @Trash80toHP_Mini said that the SE, and I know that the Plus has a similar architecture. And the pinout of the machines for PDS slot is basically the same pins to the Portable, so I am wondering, could I be able to modify this accelerator to fit in the portable, would it work...

Yes! That is the right one! And you can get it from Mouser too! But it is unstocked...

I am right now looking for the M5120 connector that plugs into the motherboard on the cable side. If the M5126 has a different connector I would want that one as well but at a later date. I am hoping this will be for early PowerBooks, and both models of Portable if possible when it is done...

I have bummer news. I don't think a plug and play is possible for the Porrtable's LCD port. Because Androda moves the old connector over... As stated in the description here:https://androda.work/product/macintosh-backlit-portable-m5126-screen-flex-cable/ So I have to find a new route, sooooo...

I hope you didn't lick your fingers afterwards! :LOL:

So how would it even work? I don't quite follow the thread.

Unfortanantly, my plans will have to change if I don't find a way to use the original connector... 😥 But my genouis brain said,"You could take inspiration from the video mac pac." That's what it told me. SOOO I am wondering if anyone has a video mac pac they can hook me up with so I can probe...

It looks like the pin on the Portable header is .02 inches x .0275 inches (I'll try to get mm soon!) And more measurements coming later!

Alright, working on the code right now, but just got my portable apart aaaanndddd... The adapter hat doesn't fit! 😭 Now I have to figure out exactly what headers I can buy or make, so it's just a plug and play procedure. I don't want to use the original cable if I don't have to because my...

Thanks for letting me know. :D

We should make a wiki page for this.

That's the problem... I don't understand any of that! Understood. I have soldered everything on by hand, including the rp2350 (but that I used the air gun) I was just looking for input.

Just the ball. The PowerBook 160 SCSI cable. I found someone here that is selling the parts I need, but thank you very much for your input!

Alright, been trying to find a way to upload the modified code, just changed pinouts and the like through text editor, to the Frogitron... But I can't seem to figure out how. Does anyone know how to do it or can do it for me? Thanks!

Hello, does anyone know if there is a modern replacement for the PowerBook 1xx series trackball?? I am also lost in my searches for a SCSI cable for the internals. Do you know where you could get one or if there is a replacement? Or is it very proprietary? Thanks! - Froggy

Definitely!

I have one to add for the portable! I didn't make it so don't give me any of the credit, but here! It's for the Portable backlit addition! https://github.com/rezafouladian/PortableLogicBoard

What happened to Imac's? The monitor macs? Is there going to be a thread for those too...

Question for those who will use it in the upcoming (however long it is) future! Would you like a usb-c on the final design for updating the code on the rp235xA, or a micro usb-b? The micro usb-b is a LOT cheaper to implement (or so I've found...) But I am asking for your user serviceability...
