Capacitor list for 6360?
Posted by: 3lectr1cPPC on 2023-03-28 08:51:35 It depends on how much you want for it - people on eBay will probably pay more but here you'll get it to a community member. It's up to you. Edit: I can only count 9 out of the 11 caps you listed in the photo - are they off to the left of what's visible in the photo? I would need all of them visible for a reference image for the site. And thanks again!

Posted by: mloret on 2023-03-28 10:22:22 faff? It's that a euphemism for ebay nuttiness?
Posted by: Phipli on 2023-03-28 10:24:12 faff? It's that a euphemism for ebay nuttiness? Erm... it is a word that I forgot was British slang which means extraneous effort.

Posted by: Phipli on 2023-03-28 11:40:01 We Americans can't keep up! Its old slang 🙂 loads of time for it to drift over the sea 😛 You just need to use it at every opportunity so it catches on.

I have this Velcro format on three different Macs. I can post the Gerber if anybody wants it. ETA: ooops it did not take the pic. Here it is
Posted by: pizzigri on 2023-03-28 15:03:35 The 6300 isn't a road apple, and the 6200 is only slow if you run 68k software. In 2023 there is no reason to be running 68k versions of software. Plus, they're all slow! If we're worried about how slow a 6200 is, get a brand new thread ripper based system 🤣 I would own a 6200, 6300 and a 6360 if I could find them cheap. I like that case. It's like a better looking, mini, G3. They're really expandable, even if they do take weird cards. Sadly they didn't sell 6360s here, but one day I'll make my own with a 5400, 5500, 6400 or 6500 board. Hey Phiply, I JUST finished doing exactly that, I had to rebuild the PSU from scratch though (well, from a SFX PSU) and figure out a few things as the 6500 board will have no audio in a standard 6200 case, unless additional connections are done in the service cable that controls soft power on etc. I added the relevant info in the SFX to 6200 mod thread.

Posted by: Phipli on 2023-03-28 15:11:59 I bought a holder and some AA batteries. I’ll solder the connector on. Regular AAs leak really quickly, please please please get some non-rechargeable lithium batteries for it.
Posted by: Forrest on 2023-03-28 15:15:09 I understand using a 3 AA battery holder - I did the same a few years ago. But I also know most AA batteries will leak eventually.
Posted by: mloret on 2023-03-28 15:29:31 They are lithium.
