Got any friends that can solder? They're pretty easy to build, could get two, one for them, one for you.

Make sure you get the red one. The yellow one... I got the yellow one first time and it came with the wrong parts and didn't work.

I can do solder. I have recapped few Macs and psu. Is this what I need to get. There are 3 options.

Yup, the first one. 1 to 50MHz (mine actually reads up to 60, but then doesn't go any higher). It's a red PCB. Those sellers often don't supply the instructions, but I have the PDF, will dig it out.

Thank you. I will go ahead and order 3. Just in case.

Tattletech do not show adapter whatsoever.

That's not what was asked - does it recognise the FPU? In the main section it should show if there's an FPU or not. Forget about the PDS adapter. Does it recognise the FPU at all?

Also I don't think my point about checking if anything is hot/cold was looked at yet - that's a basic check that can be done without any tools.

Yes, check what PDS cards you have and let us know.

Sorry for responding to testing the card. I was not at home. I just tested the card and after running the computer for 10-15 mins. Chips are cold to touch in the adaptor. Unfortunately I cannot run the tattletech as screen in my floppy emu is not working. I have bluescsi external but I don’t how to run tattletech image from there. In regards to PDS card only one I have is apple 2e in LC.

Actually these blue chips are hot when iisi is running.

Tattletech do not show adapter whatsoever. Any idea which PDS card can I test for this? I will have to see what PDS card I even have.

But you said your ran TattleTech earlier?

Warm or hot?

Sorry that was last time when someone ask me check it. Probably when I first had this post. I haven’t tested it tonight.

Warm. By the time I was done taking picture it heat was gone.

Were all three warm, or just one?

Posted by: crazyben on 2023-11-15 21:21:05

All three.

So I have working floppy emu and can run tattletech. What am I looking for in there? @Phipli received the crystal oscillator tester. Will assemble it tomorrow.

Under CPU Attributes I think, but just scrolling through you'd find it in seconds.

Posted by: crazyben on 2023-11-28 14:26:33

Yes I do see that.

Posted by: crazyben on 2023-11-28 14:28:16

And here is what I see under Nubus slots.
