that is quite an interesting story!

would you believe I worked in Boruns electronics in mahon, cork , Ireland, and we made trimpots, network resistors and those fuses. I never knew at the time that the network resis…

Those are polyfuses. they are supposed to blow, and self-reset. 

This is great work! A much major improvement! Why was the scsi chip removed? There is a fuse (F2 and F3 right there!) that sometimes blows and makes your SCSI bus look dead. Chec…

Good Luck. Let us know what happened.

now your taking ozyman - good clean job - - onwards!

good job man!  

on a socket

If he hasn't got one, I know I do. My (Procrastination Plagued Project) Pile-o-1400s stretches approx 30" across the bottom of a bookshelf. The limiting factor is the Cracked Lid C…

I might want one!

I have a spare 1400 active matrix display assembly. I may even have two, I gotta check.

Is the ROM on a socket or soldered in?

CTRL-RESET doesn't drop me into BASIC. It just restart over again (like a power on) Thanks very much for the explanation Gorgonops. I found a ROM replacement on ebay. I'm gonna tr…

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…

A1106. 

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…

Is it an A1106 or A1095? c

A 15" PowerBook G4 (1.5GHz, 2GB RAM, 40GB HDD) has been ordered! I also ordered an 80GB Western Digital 9.5mm 2.5" IDE hard drive, which I will upgrade it with.
