I just want to say, I think that Portable looks mint! :O

I guess it was too much to hope that the voltage regulator could be replaced with an off-the-shelf 3-pin 5V or 12V regulator... My 5125 will probably need another battery rebuild …

H3NRY, I'm using a 7.5V supply at 2A. Would that be sufficient, or should I go for a 3A one instead?

What's the average lifespan of an SE/30 Analog Board after it's been put under that kinda load, BTW? Click to expand... Since the SE/30 has a PSU separate from the Analog Board…

Course, the SE/30 was never designed to take a Nubus card. Presumably this also means any back panel connector soldered directly to a (Nubus or IIsi-only PDS) card will end up buri…

Look at Von's diagram: (click to embiggen) His Ethernet card and Daystar adapter both work in either the IIsi or the SE/30. In both cases, cards added to them mount over the mo…

Now there you have a point. There was a lot of copy protection on the early Mac, and some of those fiddled around with the disk speed, which you could do on a 400K drive, but NOT o…

So you're online posting piccies while I'm doinkin' in my reply! : You TELL ME! )

No way. The printer would have been in the $10k-$50k plus range alone. And retail on a stock 9600/350 was $5400.

Oh, how sad. So... any ways I can fix it? Like... replacing all capacitors on the power supply? :O

The extra cost of a WGS9650 over a 9600 was due to the scsi card, large drive, and presumably extra RAM (small RAM in the order of 32MB was stock, remember, and not nearly enough f…

It's fairly well known the early compact Mac had power supply that was barely adequate (I must've replaced hundreds of those when I was working at a after market Mac repair shop in…

On the topic of software "compatibility," I am curious if it has more to do with copy protection and the differences between floppy drive mechanisms than it does with 64k vs 128k R…

Great score...that RAM alone would be worth the $80! Anyway, it must be quite a machine, I remember back when I was 12 (and the 9600/350 was the fastest Mac money could buy), I wou…

Hi B, It happened via Mactalk - member jmd (serious collector and no doubt on here too!) contacted me, was offered this and had no need for it, so I contacted the seller and went …

Don't know. I started tracing out the power supply of the beast, but haven't got it figured out yet. It's pretty complex with stuff feeding back on itself. If anyone knows of a sch…

It would be nice to have, but at what cost?

Other than drivers for early hard disks like the HyperDrive or Corvus which used their own schemes for partitioning, like "drawers", there wasn't much that didn't work. I can't rem…

What's the story with the custom voltage regulators, and can an off-the-shelf part be substituted?
