Good morning,

Can you tell me what the total shipped for that disk notcher would be? Cheap shipping is preferred to fast shipping.

I would prefer to pay via Paypal.

Thanks,

Shipping seems to be $738.35 plus tax
Finished building a small home studio for messing with making beats. Just a little hobby. Mac Mini M4 16gb RAM 512GB SSD, with a 2TB SSD in a Satechi M4 hub. Software is Reason 13+ with Behringer RD-8 and RD-9 drum machines, TD-3 baseline synth, Focusrite interface, and a Nektar Panorama T4 keyboard controller. The Mac Mini is sweet. Tiny footprint, and powerful. It can run most of my Steam games with no issue.

I got one of those just about a month-and-a-half ago (the machinery damage letter) - I only lost a couple of replacement floppy gears out of several that I ordered.
I was poking at 7.1.1 Pro out of curiosity, since one of my disk images had it for some reason. (I'm already sold on 7.1 with the System Update and everything, very aware of Pro's reputation and status.) However, I noticed that the startup time is abysmal, even on zero-wait Mac II-family emulators. Even After Dark screensavers seem to hitch a bit, indicating context switches to some kind of background process. What did they stuff the System File with? Is this the true power of PowerTalk?

QT, PC Exchange, AppleScript add some overhead, but it's mostly PowerTalk. Almost nothing new in the system files.

That's what I figured from looking more closely at the resources. I think TokenTalk is even included by default.

Sigh. I once had a PowerBook 100. Bought it for ≈£320 in spring/summer 1996. Loved it. I had an external FD for it. The 40MB HD did start to die after a few years, but I was able to repartition it as a 29MB drive.

Preparing this guy to go out for a recap including taking two jumbo antistatic bags and combining into an uberantistaticbag!

Look at how much elbow room all those PLCCs have... That's one nice PCB layout.

@luRaichu The Plus/SE era machines with the big traces and pre-SMT designs are beautiful. Especially how all the traces are tinned and silvery looking in the SE, or at least on mine. That accelerator you routed makes me want a Plus, if I ever get the space for one.
Loving the Mac Prodigy 040/060 conversation thread. I have enough familiarity with the topic to follow along, but little to no practical experience beyond being a PC builder, Apple ][ software hacker, and just currently an end user and consumer.

As such, my Centris 650 and I would love to be a part of the process. If that means waiting until things are all done and commercially available, then so be it.
If a tech minded consumer beta tester has any value to the process, kindly put my name on that list.

Thanks - it looks like it's going to be a fun ride and a cool piece of hardware!

Thanks for the warm welcome, as soon as the card starts working on my LC475, I would be considering to give out cards to betatesters such as you. Thanks for the offer! :)
Thrilled to share my IIfx is finally fully operational and already being put to important use! ;)

My SE/30 logic board (my only LB not washed/recapped solely by me) is riddled with residual corrosion. I can smell it when reflowing. It's my fault for believing the person who sold it was a professional in the first place, but this was ~10 years ago, when I would've made all these same errors. Should I dare trying to lift every single SMT component with hot air? Go for a Reloaded PCB?

If that doesn't fix the voltage sag, it might need the PSU recapping if it hasn't been already.

I have the fancy aftermarket Meanwell PSU, I had no idea about the trimpots in the stock ones. This is for sure a LB issue, I found smelly gunk under multiple ICs. The last person likely didn't clean at all before recap. Since I can't guarantee the integrity of the inner layers or vias, I'm strongly leaning towards attempting a Reloaded PCB. I know it's normally uncalled for at this point, but I have the itch.

OK, but as long as the loaded voltage on the new PSU is above 4.95V on the 5v Rail, higher if possible.
During my systems check this holiday, my Powerbase has been found... wanting. No video out, either built-in or my Radeon. Sigh. Cuda reset and different power supply tested. Gonna reseat everything and then start removing stuff till it boots. I was wanting to play some Powermac-era stuff too.

Well, I had to replace the motherboard with a spare one I had, gets reliable video now but its hard drive is funky now (aka doesnt work). I guess twenty years of service was good enough for that ole "Magnetic Data Tech" drive.
