Much appreciated! I was just in the rabbit hole of making my own based on those same schematics, but when I found this topic that gave me an easy opt-out option.

hyperneogeo Posted July 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 I made the other modules, but my IIFX decided that it didn't want to play anymore. I think the CPU took a hike since I heard a pop in that area. I'm ordering another CPU, should be here next week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MrFahrenheit Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 I received the RAM today. I haven't yet tested it. Visually it looks very, very good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
68kMLA Supporter pax Posted July 24, 2020 68kMLA Supporter Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 I received mine too. Good stuff. I'm not in the same place as my IIfx at the moment so it'll be a while before I can test. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was actually fiddling with the cpu crystal when I was doing it. I think I may have shorted something when I turned it on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Would have made a decent parts board. I've seen IIfx parts show up fairly reasonably from time-to-time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hyperneogeo Posted July 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Yeah I'll get a parts board just in case, or at least try to here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Your workmanship on this 128MB set looks perfect and it's working flawlessly in my system; the height clearance is just perfect to retain my dual drive tray too!

hyperneogeo Posted July 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Actually I just fixed it. It looks like the trace on the CPU crystal for the output enable literally blew. I fixed the trace and it's perfect now lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hyperneogeo Posted July 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) Was fiddling with the crystal more on the Mac. 120 mhz Crystal = 60 mhz Mac = Crash on boot with a bus error 110 mhz Crystal = 55 mhz Mac = Works fine, but sound is completely messed up 105 mhz Crystal = 52-53 mhz Mac = Works fine, but sound is kind of messed up 100 mhz Crystal = 50 mhz Mac = Everything seems to work fine. I have a 50 mhz 030 and 50 mhz FPU installed and I don't really want to test it on a 40 mhz 030 hah. Btw that's the original ram I made, it's too wide, so I can fit it in, but it's never coming out lol. Edited July 25, 2020 by hyperneogeo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
