Building a Dual Floppy Macintosh Portable — #13
That makes sense. The oxides of the solder could very well have a far higher melting point making them immune to the thermal output of a standard soldering iron. That is an annoyin…

I suspect that most of the solder is directly under the capacitor: the rest has been mostly corroded away. I do see some solder on the outside, but I can't tell if it liquefies whe…

Be very, very, very careful replacing the top case, especially when replacing the power switch. I destroyed an iBook that way ($700 down the drain). iFixit will give you all you ne…
SE/30 VRAM Capacity W/ 24 Bit Addressing? — #4
It is often mentioned in articles that describe how to directly access the VRAM (indeed, such articles are the first hits for "swapmmumode quickdraw" in Google), because in that ca…

It won't melt? I didn't think HighK solder was ever used in Mac/PC construction, especially not that far back, except for military/special application systems.

The Macintosh Portable web server is interesting. I won't be doing that, though.
I am currently attempting to remove capacitors from my Portable's logic board. I used some flux to…

I was under the impression that it was a Half height 5.25" Drive Frame with a shock mounted 3.5" full/half height HDD in there. I must admit, I haven't pulled…

Why don't you replace the HDD with a Tray Loader CD?

Won't fit. The drive bay in a portable is 3.5" deep, and a CD is 5.25" diameter.
It seems dual floppy P…
Deep IIci rejuvenation, possible ROM select problem — #27
Yes, I would like to do some disassembly but I don't have the proper tools right now. I would appreciate if you could point me toward this software you mentioned if you can rememb…

Use crazy glue and stick the ripped off pad back to the board, let dry. Put a small drop of flux in the crack between the traces and solder a bridge, then solder the capacitor to t…

Downclocking PM8100/100 or 110 — #4
There is no point to downclocking the CPU - the G3 upgrade is independant of the existing CPU itself (that is, it is not used), nor are you going to "cook" the existing 601 CPU (it…

Dennis, I think it looks great! That's a nice mod. Useful too, if you start modifying the ROM code.
Are you thinking about doing any disassembly? I ran across mention of a dis…

SE/30 VRAM Capacity W/ 24 Bit Addressing? — #3
Luckily, Apple derived a solution to this when it created 32-bit QuickDraw, and it is quite simple. Every time 32-bit QuickDraw access VRAM in the slot space, it uses a trap (SwapM…
