to unnoticed corruption of your devices, or just a bus that works okay and lends you a false sense of security. Then one day it stops working, and you declare SCSI voodoo when what really happened is that it was wrong all along and suddenly the SCSI bus noticed. Jeff Walther -- Vintage Macs

design documents for all these old upgrades. Do you think they're just destroyed? Or are they moldering in someone's garage somewhere. For example, it would be great to have the RTL for the big chip on the Micron video boards or even the GDSII or whatever they were using back then. Jeff Walther

that would not boot up and the answer was to replace the battery. There was even one joker selling refurbished LC475 boards for $100 with trade-in.I can't decide whether to admire his entreprenarial spirit or declare him a jerk. I think it did violate the spirit of usenet. Jeff Walther

changing the part number. If you're thinking about building a ROM SIMM for fun and frolick, beware that the circuit board needed is .050 thick. The thickness in common usage is .062 so it's a pain, inconvenient and/or expensive to build a ROM SIMM for the Mac II series. Jeff Walther -- Vintage Macs
