Hey there, maniac, welcome aboard!

Although its not a designclassic, i do really appreciate its esthetics…..

got the bottom grill mounted yesterday

Hey @-SE40-, Check out J-B Plastic Weld.

 

[-SE40-]

Yes indeed, that great stuff, but its not sold here locally…… I just glue it together like a plastic modelkit, then melt and press in loose staples for reinforcement. The final step is adding minimal bondo and recreating the surface texture and airbrushing it to original.

 

[retr01]

Bump!

Yo @-SE40-! What happened to your little Performa 630? Any update?

 

[-SE40-]

Well, its on my desk…….
Waiting for the weekend to come.

 

[retr01]

And the weekend is here now?

 

[-SE40-]

Or next weekend…..

Hey @-SE40-, I wonder what logic board you decided to put in the 630 Mini?

 

[-SE40-]

Wel yes, this may take a while……

You just sit back and relax

 

[-SE40-]

How about adding a Classic II or LCIII board?
Connections can be made in the sidepanel.

 

[-SE40-]

No worrieszzz

@retr01
There is no need for bashing here.
Thank you!


The other solution or option is having the ClassicII board with the cables connected and running internally, escaping from the backside.

I think for now - I go with that.
The question is if can I get the CD-rom going on System + media software?

Anyone who has a CD rom next to a Classic?

WOW!!!!! Lovin' it, but maybe I might make a suggestion? One LEM legend is that the Q630 was a rework of the Q605 logic board. You might consider that board to keep this wonderful build Quadra correct?

Breaking connectors out the backside presents no real problem.


edit: that top view got me going, bonus points available for fabbing a clear plexi case to show of your creation. Again, cable solution relatively simple and employing assorted color ribbon cable and lopped off standard cables leading to the backplane connector PCB would greatly enhance appearances as they run beneath the optical. Right side would show off SCSI2SD or the like and its cabling.

Color coded RA speaker/Mic jacks come to mind as an example. Solder cup connector wiring colors for twisted pair SCSI and Video RA conversion/breakout would be killer! IDC connectors and blue/gray ribbon cables easier, but not quite as impressive in the looks department.


edit2: will BllueSCSI fit vertically or horizontally inside or outside the fan cutout of the LC form factor board? ISTR it looking a lot more attractive than a flat board like SCSI2SD if facing out the right side of a clear case?

Wondering if the width of your case lends itself to doing a Mini-Portrait Display utilizing one of the inexpensive RPi LCD kits?
