I'm not worried about getting a discount on a $3 part. Mine arrived yesterday, I hope to find some time to do the repair and test the board some time this week. I bought a couple…

Sell the extras (for a reasonable price, of course), and you will make back your shipping and could be a benefit some users here (some of whom live outside the United States). But…

My Arduino board arrived so I can start experimenting with the Microcontroller. I also share the concern that the memory is too small, but well just have to see what happens. My n…

If you are going to emulate the 400K drive itself, it is completely dumb. The IWM in a first generation Mac is exactly the same as the IWM in an Apple //c or an Apple II non-integ…

If you don't mind risking such a machine...your best bet would be a Mac II. Otherwise, you could gut an external Apple 3.5" drive for the adaptor board and connect it to an IWM-equ…

Wow guys lots of great information here. This exactly what I hoped would happen. Development work has stalled as I expected because of the Thanksgiving holiday here in the US. I …

Larry Pina has a very clear procedure for doing this in his book Mac Classic & SE Repair and Upgrade Secrets. It was a very common upgrade at the time. Books can be found r…

It may be best to see if you can find somewhere to mount a standard computer fan and find one to suit. Click to expand... Larry Pina has a very clear procedure for doing this i…

Jameco, mouser, digikey would probably have them

That's called a squirrel cage fan. It's more common in industrial and automotive applications, and, as you have surmised, is not a common or readily available computer part. It m…

get a metric ruler, go from there, its one of 3-5 sizes Click to expand... It is approx. 70mm tall with a power lead running nearly the length of the analog board. From your p…

presumably the later drives change speed depending on which track they're on, so one should be able to do the same thing with an emulated version and not bother counting pulses. …

I've got an SE with a really noisy fan I'd like to replace. Unfortunately, the SE uses an odd paddlewheel style fan instead of the fans you typically find in systems since that ti…

Just to harp back onto the Amiga for a sec, MorphOS now officially supports the G4 Mac Mini. You can download a trial version of the OS from here. And here's instructions on how to…

Since you're running System 7 there is an easy way to see if an extension or control panel (sometimes referred to as INITs and cdevs by old-timers) is causing a conflict. Start up …

I'll also mention that the whole problem with me unable to get into Open Firmware might have to do with the fact that the computer doesn't understand the keyboard properly. Even no…

I'm impatient so I burned at 8x which is the fastest my burner does (and my media is rated at). It all worked out, and I've got 10.4.11 running on my Mini now. The last image I got…

2k, starting tomorrow I will be working with some old school 64k ram and the arduino on a non related project, to see how easy/bad it is If the mac is generating the pwm on the ea…

It's an interesting suggestion. My PB160 has a fairly poor greyscale display (which improves dramatically when set to display Black & White only), and I had a 145b that I h…

It actually turns out that my boot media is all junk. I decided to pop the Debian Linux boot cd I used two years ago and it went right into the boot menu. I've got new media coming…

Supposedly in the LCD display. Click to expand... Pics?
