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

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.

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.

Re: HELP again- GOLD CARD
I'm currently reverse engineering the layout of the SGC. If there isn't a published schematic I'll put mine up when it's done.

Re: HELP again- GOLD CARD
Sounds like time to hit that whole board with some contact cleaner, and to wiggle/reseat all the ICs.
