Re: Any ideas what this unknown expansion card is?

I don't know who made this card, but we did have a couple in a parts bin at Sandy back in the day. Arnie used one for quickly looking at ROMs.

Re: New Q68 Case

What sort of expansion would you want to fit? How would this affect the case end plates? If an expansion bus card is above the Q68 it is constrained within the connectors. This forces out-facing connectors on the card to be up or to the sides or front. If the card is below, the connectors can align...

Re: New Q68 Case

My only thought on this is it would be nicer to have a taller case, with the Q68 mounted in the top of the case. This way, an expansion can sit under the Q68 instead of cramming in above it.

Next Gen QL…

Today I am picking up two 68040 based black computers. One is a Next Cube and the other is a Next slab. Pics and deets will follow. They both have a similar design language to the QL, which makes me wonder if Steve Jobs saw one?

Re: Sandy SuperQ Board question

This is an official mod at Sandy to make the regulator less noisy. Any small ceramic capacitor will do as long as it has the rated voltage. It can be added either side of the board.

Re: Help needed!!!

Vacuum production is a level of production where you really need to get professional help for the purchase decision and the install. It's not simple kit and the set-up requires a lot of tuning. The ESD safe part just comes along free for the ride with this type of equipment. Asking random people on ...

Re: HELP again- GOLD CARD

I don't want to bother Nasta with it as he's so very busy these days. Also, I'll be out of town for two weeks road tripping to Seattle to pick up a NeXT Cube and slab.
