~tl posts infrequently. Look at his profile.

I'm with Wally. I only understood about 10% of what he was talking about, but I'm with Wally.

Page 293 in the normally authoritative source differs with reality. 8-o Two actual SE/30 boards before me have a current limiting device, F1 in the ADB power net. In one inst…

I found one of these at the flea market with no power adapter, battery or hard disk. Would there be a way to use one of my Wallstreet/Lombard AC bricks on it with an external hard…

Bump I finally got around to trying this out, but haven't had much success so far. I borrowed an Adaptec 29160N card from a friend, which has a 50-pin connector, and hooked up the…

What do you think of the screen? I have read much derision being poured on the PB150 screen, but this, I suspect, is based on the specs:year of manufacture ratio rather than what i…

The IIfx has a 1A fuse between the SWIM chip and the RFI filter, the SE and SE30 do not. There is a 470 Ohm resister in line with the 5VDC line powering the ADB signal line, that …

phreakout - thanks for your reply. based on the article i mentioned earlier (re: mac II in same situation) i was thinking it could be F1 or F2. I have located these on the logic …

The place to look for paint and dye hints is over at the Applefritter forums. Good results have been had with automotive vinyl dye, which soaks into the surface, and with Krylon F…

It appears that you took the PSU voltages while the PSU was disconnected from everything else? If so, I strongly suggest you put it all back together and take voltages from the fl…

Nice score! The PB150's are cool machines. I hope your 4GB drive will work for you.
