My store was moved to the top of scsi.blue recently because Tom and Eric were out of stock, and wow. I had no idea there would be so much demand. I’m out of stock of just about everything, and more PCBs are in the mail.
Note that the F4 (black PCBs) and F4Lite (green PCBs) branches are faster than stock (blue PCB) bluescsi on 68030 machines and newer, I hope you enjoy the extra speed.
Next week I will be able to restock:
* Mainline / F1 desktop
* F4Lite desktop
* F4Lite PowerBook (PowerBook V4 is practically discontinued, they take a long time to assemble – and F4Lite is faster)
* F4Lite DB25 external
* F4Lite Centronics 50 pin (new product, low quantity will be available until more connectors come in)
Other projects which will be in progress soon:
* Macintosh Backlit Portable screen flex cable replacements
** Currently this is waiting on a hard-PCB to check the through-hole connector footprint
** After verifying the connector footprint, there will be some final checks to do on the design and then I’ll do a prototype run of the actual flex cables. See this thread on Tinker Different if you want to indicate interest in buying a recreation cable: https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/recreating-backlit-macintosh-portable-display-flex-cables.567/
* Macintosh Portable (non-backlit) hybrid module recreation with NOS (new old stock) parts
** Found new old stock op-amps, designed a ‘downstream’ tester board for the hybrid
** Very curious to see if this works, because it could revive a lot of portables which are sitting around doing nothing right now
** Also of note: C25 and C26 on the mac portable should not be replaced with ceramic MLCCs! MLCCs are not stable enough in capacitance rating across voltage ranges, so these should be tantalum or electrolytic. Learned this after reverse engineering the hybrid schematic.
