Nice, I didn't realise yours was a 110MHz. You're making me want to go and find a Nubus PPC, but we have visitors staying from tomorrow and I should be putting machines away not fetching more out :LOL:

I think everyone must think that keyboard design is the biz! Massive envy. I'm assuming you basically have one area where you artfully construct a Mac setup, and later you decide to revisit another one (e.g. the IIci) so it gets substituted. Is that right?

@Snial yes I have a desk in our computer/music room that I use for different retro systems and swap n change all the time.. macs, msx, amstrad cpc etc.. but it’s mostly macs. Ps the lighting in there just happens to be perfect for photos 📷

Amazing visit on Wednesday at the System Source Museum outside Baltimore, MD! Thats an authentic WWII German Enigma machine, a Xerox Alto which debuted mouse and GUI, and an authentic Apple I! - https://museum.syssrc.com/

Finally, I can not only plug in Ethernet cables, but also get them back without surgical tools!

I have an AUI transceiver from before I got the RJ45 version of this daughtercard, but it's still too thick, not one of the models with the tapered end. I ended up having to get a huge cable, and then file one end down because the plug itself was still too thick. After all that, my old router would only play nice if I put it behind an old Leviton 10Mbit/s switch. Last part serves me right for using dd-wrt instead of OpenWRT.
At the risk of sounding like a novice, how do I scroll through a large text from within openfirmware? On a Sawtooth G4.
Dear Mr. Chadwick
I have 2 Apple PDQ 300 Mhz Wallstreets, and would like to build new PRAM batteries for them.
Do you know a source for those PCB's for the VL2330 batteries? I found the Keystone 534-3005 holders on Mouser.
I found them on Digikey, very expensive! Thank you for your time!

i made those PCBs myself... i made them in fritzing because it was fun and fast... nowadays, i would probably use EasyEDA or something.

i am NOT convinced the boards work correctly.

the wiring is correct, it's a really simple layout, but something about the board doesn't agree with the PowerBook. Maybe the board introduces too much resistance or something? I have not had time to go back and explore that project.

here is a folder with all the information, including the Fritzing file. Let me know what you make.

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.
