One downside though is that you can’t use SCSI hard drive benchmarking apps to do a direct comparison because NuCF won’t show up. NuCF isn’t this SCSI drive. So that FWB drive utility and SCSI Director Pro can’t benchmark NuCF. That’s why I turned to Norton System Info and MacBench instead.

I cannot speak on behalf of the creator, @zigzagjoe , but my guess is No, based on the fact he only specifically mentioned the SE/30, IIsi and IIfx machines. It's a PDS card, not NuBus. Normally cards that work in a IIsi and SE/30 would not work in a IIfx, but he did some engineering trickery...

I own a MacEffects clear mouse too and found it too stiff for me as well, but that is by design. Mark J. (owner of MacEffects) told me back in the day that he wanted to keep tooling costs reasonable (in order to keep the end user cost lower), so he didn't create a separate plastic piece for...

I recently purchased the latest creation by @zigzagjoe called NuCF. Here's his sales thread offering all the details. It's faster than any SCSI hard drive because it installs in the PDS slot of an SE/30, IIsi or IIfx. Below are my SE/30 benchmarks (with the IIfx at the end, created by ZZJ)...

I am currently waiting for Mouser to get their act together regarding backordered items. The last backordered item won't arrive until Oct. 19th, so I will place my order then and hopefully nothing else will go out-of-stock before then. But again, my gut tells me that recapping won't solve this...

It's been almost a month since my last post, so I want to provide an update so as to hear your kind thoughts. ONE PDQ NOW POWERS ON RELIABLY First, I've been testing one of my Wallstreet PDQ machines almost daily (the one with a 266MHz CPU card). For much of September, I left the stock Apple...

@wells And just when we all thought it couldn't get any better, you go and offer fantastic DIY kits at really great prices! Very nice! 🕺 I assume that neither kit includes the battery because Maclock already has one inside that can be used with the kit, correct?

Excellent work, @wottle ! I have the LISA FPGA so I am eager to see when that edition of your amazing case is complete. I don't have a 3D printer either, but I tend to use JLC3DP for most printers. However, the downside is they don't have vintage beige filaments. :-(

Here is an AI-generated (Gemini) synopsis/summary of both pages of this thread... Reverse-Engineering the Radius FPD/SE Card To date, this discussion documents the process of cloning a 1986 Radius Full Page Display (FPD) 64/68Hz card for the Macintosh SE. The project aims to map the board's...

Zane’s public statement about that is here: https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/warpse-25-mhz-68hc000-based-accelerator-for-mac-se.253/page-16#post-21903

Some will think me odd for saying this, but there have been things that have taken place in the last couple months that have made me shed some tears. This thread too has caused me to shed a few, although for reasons of joy rather than sadness. And believe me, tears of joy are so much better than...

Well, I wish to humbly thank you for your contributions to this forum! I'm now looking forward to seeing how your project unfolds over time. Best wishes, James

@Trash80toG4 I apologize for not having followed your thread until today. Since you and I do not fear LLMs as some do, I used Gemini to highlight the main points of your two-page thread and compile a progress report. I did that for the sake of newcomers to this thread who otherwise may be...

I've been testing the Power button nearly every single day (except holidays) since my past post. Remember, I have two PDQ machines, and neither will power ON normally, even though they both did some years back. I got one of them to power on once and mentioned that experience in this post. But...

Never thought I'd be glad to hear its an AliExpress item, but in this new world of our precious vintage Macs being labeled as e-Waste and US Customs now blocking exports to destinations outside the USA, it's nice to know that I, being in Japan, could obtain that LCD without issue. Whew!

Wow. That looks pretty nice, and not just the case. The LCD looks quite sharp. What is the availability and price of that LCD?

And just to let you all know, I left the same PDQ connected (the one I used DeOxit on yesterday), with the same AC power adapter connected, for a total of 24 hours, but upon pressing the Power button on the PDQ this morning, nothing happened, and no small "pop" sound from the speaker. As I...

In my specific case, yes, I have two, specifically made for the PDQ machines. Model M4402. I uploaded photos here. But the reason we are discussing the right angle adapter is for the sake of using an alternative, modern AC adapter. If one uses a mere "compatible Apple" adapter, it too would...

I actually started investigating that right angle adapter from Bix a couple days ago, but they want $45 for shipping alone which is an absolute ridiculous amount considering the size and weight of that thing. It’s totally utterly unacceptable. It’s quite sad too because in theory it should...

I appreciate all advice. Below is the result. STEPS PERFORMED: Disconnected AC Adapter and pressed the power button for several seconds. Removed CPU card and both RAM modules from it. Removed Hard Drive Put 100% IPA onto a soft cloth and meticulously wiped down the gold pads on both sides of...
