A good friend and work colleague of mine has the same medical condition as Adrien. He always went quickly low on sugar while as our work was physically exhausting. Years ago he tried that pump and it was helping him just fine, but I was amazed by the stupidity of other colleagues, who was annoyed by the humming noise of the pump, which I thought was negligible and a really small price to pay compared to the huge advantage of the constantly measuring and regulating of the sugar/insulin level. Because of stupid comments like "if you wouldn`t eat that much candy, you wouldn't need that annoying pump" and despite I explained l and argued with the possibly mentally retarded colleagues the complaints did not end so he switched back to the common method of measuring and injecting the insulin himself. Please take that in consideration and the fact, so my friend told, that the first couple of days (and nights) it might annoy you yourself. This is really awesome and much more healthy. 🖖🏻

When you said 25V programming, reminded me of a programmer I build way way back for an Acorn Atom... it was rudimentary to say the least. It used the user port for the 8 bit data bus and 3 lines from the printer port for counter step, reset and program, with a manual arming switch for VPP. The power supply was also crazy, using a 6-0-6V transformer in a bizarre FULL WAVE RECTIFIER (Electroboom) on 6V with a halfwave doubler on the 12V - based on a circuit I found for adding a negative, turned upside down

Looks like the other Mac board is from a Power Mac 6100, which was among the first few PowerPC-based models released. According to www.retrotechnology.com/herbs_stuff/m_nubus.html the riser itself is for the DOS Compatibility Card and the slot may be for the High Performance Video graphics option? I'm getting a sense that different 6100 builds used different slots in that place, with some being NuBus, some being PDS, and possibly some being HPV???? This is rather confusing. The power supply might be compatible with the Centris 610 (which the 6100 follows from).
@ukmk3supra3 жыл бұрын
There were only two risers - the PDS or the Nubus. HPV cards never shipped in the 6100, ever, but as the slot and bus is the same as the 7100 and 8100 machines, you can plug an HPV card in but it may fould the hard disk in the machine. HPV video plugs into the PDS slot, as does the AV Card (which is only a slower 32 bit bus card as opposed to the HPV's 64bit bus). DOS Compatibility cards went in the PDS slot, too.

I have heard you can even go as low as 9VDC 2A and you get a cooler running Vic-20 with a working cassette port. I am using a 12VDC 3A adapter for my spare 2 prong Vic-20 and it works great. Cassette loading included. I don't have any user port devices...

Hey Adrian, just watched your repair on the IIGS logicboard, but since you have comments disabled there, I'm commenting here. I really enjoyed it, and learned a few things. The GS was my favourite, well still is my favourite computer. It was my main computer up until about 1996 Anyways, I wanted to mention that by putting the sockets on the Standard RAM area to replace the bad RAM will prevent you from properly seating the front part of the case where the lid hinges in. The added height of the socket will obstruct that panel, so if you want to run that board in the case, you will have to solder the RAM directly on the board. Also, GS/OS 6.0.2 and 6.0.3 have some bugs. Best to go with 6.0.1 which is the last version released by Apple, or 6.0.4 I hope you will do a retrospective at some point, now that you've had the thought. :)

33:40 *WATER* is what activate acid to be corrosive. Without water, it doesn't do anything. Somebody once dropped a glass vessel containing concentrated Nitric Acid on linoleum floor, breaking and covering the floor in fuming acid. It just sat there. We went to get stuff to clean it up and then somebody thought it would be a bright idea to dilute it with water. NOOOOO!!!!!!! The moment water hit it, it smoked and ate through the floor. To be fair, this was a story retold by my chemistry teacher decades ago. When you have dried corrosive fluids on your pcb, we can assume it is acidic but you probably should litmus-smear it and then put a drop of water on the litmus paper to test. If acidic, heavily dust it with baking soda, spray a must of water over the area, then scoop some baking soda on top of the area and let it sit an hour. Then put it in a casserole or plastic container to soak a few minute with water and the baking soda you had put on it. *THEN WASH* If you splash some acid on your shirt and it dries and your shirt is fine, it will have a hole when you wash it. Before washing, you need to neutralize the pH first. Corrosion "slowly eats away at the board" due to humidity and presence of acid. This is the primary reason why warehouses have low humidity (below 25%) for preservations of papers and dry foods etc. Papers or metals that have been touched by human hands will have a trace of acid from our skin oils. Edible acids in foods lay inert in low humidity, so that cereal doesn't go rancid.
