Macintosh SE/30 logicboard recreation (thread revival)
Posted by: Bolle on 2022-12-08 10:20:56 And the reset/interrupt switches, one of the common mode chokes, bourne filters and RTC? True 🙂
Posted by: JAG on 2022-12-16 18:14:36 For anyone still interested in buying a PCB, JLCPCB is out of stock on some of the bottom board SMD parts so that's the hold up at this point. I'll likely get purple or blue boards. I'm planning on 10-15 as I have at least 5 SE/30's myself that could use new boards.

I'm still in for one of them (two if you need help getting enough to order), so keep me on your list! ... and any color is fine.

Posted by: Big Ben on 2022-12-22 09:35:37 I'll be interested but I'm in the EU. Any europeans for a small batch?

Posted by: daanvdl on 2022-12-26 04:27:15 Did anyone found a (alternative) solution for (recreating) the metal mounting bracket on the PCB yet?
Posted by: robin-fo on 2022-12-26 04:28:49 It should also work without it.. Do you have trouble removing it from the donor board?
Posted by: daanvdl on 2022-12-26 04:46:18 I actually did create a few new SE/30 Bolle boards with all new parts as spare boards (Yes, it was a pain to find all the parts new/NOS..) The last part to complete these boards “visually” is this bracket🙂
Posted by: robin-fo on 2022-12-26 04:47:39 That's cool! Where did you get the GLUEs from?
Posted by: daanvdl on 2022-12-26 04:57:33 That's cool! Where did you get the GLUEs from? I managed to find a strip of 10pc in a warehouse in China😅
Posted by: robin-fo on 2022-12-26 05:40:10 Are there any still available there?
Posted by: zefrenchtoon on 2022-12-27 05:07:09 @robin-fo , @Big Ben & others I am in France and would be in for one if you make an order or if there is a spare available. No stress for me. I can wait 🙂 Then if you have source for components … it would be great 😅
Posted by: Big Ben on 2022-12-28 02:53:44 I should receive a board from Robin soon. I didn't start working on getting components yet. I need to check what is salvageable from my board before.

I can wait 🙂 Then if you have source for components … it would be great 😅 I only have a single spare board left which I intended to build myself once I finished my Classic Reloaded board. If it should turn out that I won‘t have time to build it in the next months, I might sell it including all relating components (almost everything except the ASICs). I can also help with my mouser parts list if somebody is interested…

Posted by: Bolle on 2022-12-28 13:11:55 One of those 10 should be donated to science for the purpose of revere engineering a modern replacement! c I already sent one out to get it imaged when the logicboard project first started: https://siliconpr0n.org/map/apple/344s0602-a/mz/ So technically it’s just about tracing out the connections and map out the gate layout accordingly.
