Some times, you just got to say "Phucket! It works!" Now that you got it working, you can go back when you are up to it and replace the thick wires with thinner ones.

Oh dear gosh.....

WoW...that's one original soldering technique there! - ive done a bit of heavy jumping on boards, but I rekon you should take off all what you have done, clean the board a few ti…

Sure     I apologize for the unorthodox soldering as I realized only afterwards that I should have used smaller wires. But everything is connected.

one time.    lol out of all the SE/30 boards i have recapped,  was the actual scsi chip bad.   but it was the same situation, the pad's metered out good... i flowed on a new scsi c…

can you show us a picture of the scsi chip on your main board?

I'm Back. I tried with two different drives, but as they are old I cannot trust them. So I bought a new one from maccaps.com thus the delay in my answer. Same problem with the n…

Yes. It is easy. Just 5 or 6 small screws reachable from inside. I washed them in a bath with washing powder and they look nice and clean now. I also removed the two bottom plates …

I could never figure out how to remove the side panels.  Is it easy?

Ah okay. I didn't see the skeleton of the metal frame or the drive cage.

Here are some more pictures. Side panels are off. I'm cleaning the plastic. My desk has not much space .... View attachment 6614

I think the jury is out. Click to expand... Nice one!  It is... I have gotten the schematics though, and I will start sorting through them. I have some PB1xx's that I am re…

What the heck are you displaying that on? The picture is too dark to tell but it doesn't look like a Lisa, even with the front bezel missing.

@tanuki65 Repairing the Lisa is not in this post. I will report later about this. Just like to inform all followers of this post that the Widget is working. Thats GREAT news if y…

I thought your Lisa had no logic/mother board? Edit: I love Lisas, but I cannot justify spending US$1000 on a computer I can't upgrade/repair (10 000 volts on a CRT).

BREAKING NEWS!!!! With some spare parts I could test my Widget drive. And.... It is alive!!! The Lisa boots up nicely from it. So my efforts to revive it a succes! See pictures: …

I had a Quadra 700 in 2007 I got from the high school I was in at the time. It had a Farallon 10baseT transceiver like one of the ones mentioned here. Had Mac OS 8.1 with Apple Bui…

I think the jury is out.

Juror22 - any luck on this?

I think you got it spot on, Gorgonops. With a stuck bit counter, it would not access the ROM properly.

let me clarify something, Have decided that I am not interested in paying blob to make a schematic for the Color Classic or (MacTV-520-550-575) A/B's.   but if someone else wants t…

Yeah it's kind of funny it's like the color classic and the classic II share some level of DNA from the LC II, Like not similar but more like a DEVIL offspring ????.

I worked admin years ago.  FreeBSD from the command line.  Then linux from the command prompt.  No GUI yet.   Every time I updated apache, sendmail, you name it, I would break the …

I didn't realize it was the AB you wanted when I mentioned an LC as a possible source for schematic info. I checked it out anyway, LEM says the brain dead LCII board is the basis …

47Hz: which makes sense, in order to bring the line frequency back into the correct range, you have to lower the refresh rate. Higher refresh rates require a faster beam to scan th…
