Projects In Progress

Currently I have too many several projects in progress.

  • Newton 2×00 Internal Serial Board
    • Prototype PCBs have been made
    • PCB is being updated to be easier for people which don’t have a way to install the necessary software first
    • Looking for a source for surface-mount MINI-DIN 8 connectors (the circular serial port) because the vertical space available is extremely tight. If you know a source, please email me (see the About page)
  • BlueSCSI™
    • BlueSCSI is trademarked by Eric Helgeson
    • https://github.com/erichelgeson/BlueSCSI
    • It’s basically a SCSI drive emulator that uses SD cards for storage. No more need for those old SCSI drives, just use BlueSCSI™
    • I am working on some carrier boards for the BlueSCSI™ ‘blue pill’ module
      • PowerBook
        • Working on getting a Shop listing up for this
      • Desktop
        • Have PCBs, need assembly and testing
      • Macintosh Portable
        • Have prototype PCBs, needs assembly and testing
  • Macintosh Portable Hybrid Module Replacement
    • Have a Mac Portable with a bad hybrid module? Don’t we all.
    • This module will use modern buck regulators in place of the original linear regulator design
    • A microcontroller will handle battery voltage signaling to the power manager chip
      • Any other necessary enable/disable functions will be handled by this chip
