    SE FDHD: Now what?

    i like the wiki idea  :-) Looks like the Ejectsignal on Pin9 is intended to use in a external Unidisk Chassis (with a Button wired to the Ejectpin), that was included in later Version of the Sony 800k Drive and FDHD. The "macintosh software" Eject seems to be hardwired into the FDD-Controller...

    SE FDHD: Now what?

    is it possible that the corrosion hidden inside the traces add some nasty parasitic capacitance and other AC-noise  to the DC voltage on the digital signals or powerrails? especially the floppydrive and controller seems to be very sensitive to this at my repair-experience of my Mac LC with a...

    Please help me figure out what the deal is with this IIx RAM

    The IIcx (and SE30 too?) looks very similiar to the IIx schematics and have an PAL which control the Bank A/B RW-Line. Maybe its possible to modify the IIx with an custom logicarray to do the same.

    Please help me figure out what the deal is with this IIx RAM

    (relevant information from Apple Developer Technical Support April 1992 Document) 4 Mbit DRAMs in Revolt When the Macintosh II was originally designed, Apple engineers intended for it to accept large amounts of memory in the form of 4 MB and 16 MB DRAM SIMMs. That was in 1986, when 1 Mbit...

    Please help me figure out what the deal is with this IIx RAM

    im still try to figure out what exactly those special PAL memory do, i found only this information: also i figured out my IIx does not work with 1MB SIMM with three ICs (2x 1Mx4 + 1x 1Mx1 for Parity) Only with eight/nine (e.g. 1Mx1 DRAM)

    Powerbook 165 with 12V power supply?

    I got a Powerbook 165 but without power supply :'( I tried 9V 1A and it works little bit, but its not reliable (floppy access goes into a reboot). Have anyone tried a 12V (2A) power supply?

    Quadra 840av, SCSI Controller dead?

    My Quadra 840av dont boot from any SCSI-Devices at boot. When i boot the Mac OS 7.5 floppy, the apple drive setup tool say that the harddisk doesnt contain any valid partitions, and it cant format it. :'( I test it on the internal and external SCSI-Bus, with ZIP100 and my 2Gb Harddisk from...
