SamAfter more than a month of on-and-off work reading datasheets, routing traces in KiCad and ordering components from distributors I managed to put together my <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/powerbook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#powerbook</a> 165c RAM expansion board! 🥳🥳This was definitely the most challenging thing I've ever built, but super super satisfying to see completed.If you want to know more: the KiCad project is up on Github (<a href="https://github.com/svkampen/ramdemption" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/svkampen/ramdemption</a>), and I am planning on writing a big blogpost about the whole process, which I'll toot about when it's up.<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/VintageApple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VintageApple</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a>

Daniele Verducci 🧉I couldn't enjoy the last <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ichibi.eu/tag/marchintosh" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#marchintosh</a> because I couldn't fix the <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ichibi.eu/tag/powerbook" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#powerbook</a> 170 in time, so I wanted to retrieve my <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ichibi.eu/tag/macintoshlc" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MacintoshLC</a> that was in storage at my parent's.

No corrosion inside, fortunately, and I was nice and removed the battery years ago.

mmu_manSo, the only thing I hate more than people forcing me to published unfinished work because they are redoing what I spend nights already doing, is people wasting time doing what I already did…<a href="https://github.com/mmuman/cad-mac-pb500-pwrconn" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/mmuman/cad-mac-pb500-pwrconn</a><a href="https://m.g3l.org/tags/Mac68k" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mac68k</a> <a href="https://m.g3l.org/tags/PowerBook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PowerBook</a> <a href="https://m.g3l.org/tags/PowerBook5xx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PowerBook5xx</a> <a href="https://m.g3l.org/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RetroComputing</a> <a href="https://m.g3l.org/tags/3DPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#3DPrinting</a>

There's an issue with a strip of the screen, which went away a few minutes after booting. I don't remember it having that issue back when I stopped using it. 🤔 Includes an AC adaptor and PowerBook grey grounded power cable. The modem cover has snapped off and a piece of duct tape has been applied to keep the dust out. :apple_inc: 1 of 2. <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/Macintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Macintosh</a> <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RetroComputing</a> <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/VintageComputers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VintageComputers</a> <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/PowerBook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PowerBook</a>

Michael EngelI found quite an uncommon hardware extension in this PowerBook 170 – an external video output. Perhaps I can use this to teach my courses next summer – maybe with slides in Hypercard? 😀<a href="https://sueden.social/tags/Mac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mac</a> <a href="https://sueden.social/tags/Powerbook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Powerbook</a> <a href="https://sueden.social/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a>

Daniele Verducci 🧉It's week end, so again on the <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ichibi.eu/tag/powerbook" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#powerbook</a> 170. I removed the cmos battery to avoid future leaks, and made the trackball finally work replacing a capacitor and cleaning/re-setting all the connectors. Now on the <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ichibi.eu/tag/bluescsi" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bluescsi</a>. No way to make this thing to boot from it. I tried formatting the virtual disk from the 170 instead of creating from the pc. It formats but then while copying the files I have a lot of i/o errors. It seems like it bursts for some seconds and then hangs. The OS seems waiting a bit and then showing the error, maybe after a <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ichibi.eu/tag/scsi" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scsi</a> timeout... Not sure how to troubleshoot this. The bluescsi log in the microSD doesn't show any error... <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ichibi.eu/tag/retrocomputing" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ichibi.eu/tag/scsi" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scsi</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ichibi.eu/tag/apple" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#apple</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ichibi.eu/tag/laptop" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#laptop</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ichibi.eu/tag/motorola" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#motorola</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ichibi.eu/tag/mac" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mac</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ichibi.eu/tag/classicmac" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#classicmac</a>

Random_Seed :apple_inc: 💾 🇿🇦So, a PowerBook 190cs fell into my lap today (no, that wasn’t the cause of the damage) and needless to say, I couldn’t say no. I mean, what if it had already been upgraded to a 5300cs, or its hard drive contained rare unarchived software on it? Perhaps its destiny is to become an awe inspiring frankenMac.
