Macintosh SE/30 logicboard recreation (thread revival)

[WillJac]

Suggest doing the same for the 3 small PLCC's also as they difficult to solder if no socket is used. Thanks for the update on the board as this is much appreciated.

I agree, the PLCC-20 footprints are rather small. Thanks Bolle!

Pretty sure the centroid file is just another name for the pick and place file.

 

[Doctor69]

Yes, I Think so but Where can I Find It?

 

[Doctor69]

Is there a pick and place file for the top side too?

 

[cheesestraws]

Yes, I Think so but Where can I Find It?

They're in the github repo AFAIK.

Hello, can someone help me checking the correct positioning of these components on rev5 Bolle's SE/30 board? thanks in advance

PCBWAY, to whom I ordered the boards asked to check if everything is OK but I'm no technician.

Looks like they scratched the board around L11. May want to confirm the traces there weren't damaged. Or see if they can replace it.

I ordered five of them, anyway I'll report it and hope they will replace that board
. Thanks

Please, can Someone help me finding the web page with the mouser cart to populate a mac se/30 reloaded? I used it to buy some components but now I can’t find it again. Thanks

there's two BOMs on google docs too

this one is rather detailed but geared towards uk/euro ordering
this one has better digikey/north american parts links

 

[Doctor69]

Thanks, very helpful

Anybody knows if I can program chips with jed files using a Mac? And if yes any suggestion about the harwarr to be used?

You mean for the PAL chips? I did mine with a T48.

 

[Doctor69]

Ok, is any adapter needed? Yes, and what about the software? command line. Sorry but it's the first time for me. I'm a veterinarian and electronics is just a hobby

No adapter needed for the DIPs but one is needed for the 20-pin PLCC at UH7. This might come with the T48 but it depends on which bundle you choose when you purchase it. It can be obtained separately if not.

I use the Windows software that comes with the programmer - it’s got a GUI - this is probably the most convenient.
