Re: PhilCs blog / the latest things hes broken(fixed)

Thanks for the suggestion Jon, I hadn't thought about continuing to monitor the 5v and 12v after setting them. Will monitor and see

In the meantime I'll probably recap my Mac Plus and use that instead.

So far it's not perfect but it is reseting far less than it was.It doesn't help that the supposed schematics for ...

Re: PhilCs blog / the latest things hes broken(fixed)

So I've managed to fix the flyback on the Mac Classic. The issue was that the screws needed tightening on the base of it, so now the main noise is the dodgy hard drive bearings. Now I have a slightly different fault in that the 5V is cutting out every few seconds and causing the Mac to reboot. I'm g...

Re: LC III - Will it ever run?

Remember a lot of the CPU pins are also on the expansion socket.they will be a lot easier to access. Indeed.
