Project Updates

BlueSCSI: New revisions of PCBs are in progress, to improve compatibility with LC systems that require a drive sled plus edge connector adapter like the Mac TV. Also updating to allow for more SMD part variety which will help with the parts shortages that keep popping up.

Macintosh Portable Hybrid Module Recreation: This project is waiting for results from testers, but considered ‘done’ otherwise. See the thread on TinkerDifferent here.

Backlit Macintosh Portable Display Flex Cables: The second round of cables has arrived, and are easier to solder than the first round. Thread on TinkerDifferent.

Newton eMate Display Cables: The replacement screen cable has been tested by me and is waiting for one other tester to get back to me before becoming generally available. Thread on TinkerDifferent.

Newton eMate DRAM Upgrade: After a very long hiatus, I have tested a new set of designs and they seem to work ok. On the way to some testers for verification. Thread on TinkerDifferent.

Original LC Series Replacement Power Supply: This project hasn’t gone anywhere since the last update. But I have parts to make a few of each style. Will update once a decision is made.
