Good afternoon all, I am looking at the power supply board for a friend of mine (he did nit send the whole computer, just the board and the wall adapter). I am getting some voltages, but not all. I am told that the HD and FD have the same PS, but the LT is different. Not all pins have the...

I think I am going to give this one a try, see if it fits my purpose. https://github.com/rdmark/macproxy

The goal is to remove all the extra code that is useless to my browser and, essential, speed up the connection. I am running DOSppp with mtcp and wattcp also functioning.

I have created a dialup server on a RaspPi that I am using to connect my Compaq SLT/286 via it's 2400 baud modem. I am wording what would be the best proxy I could run to cut out all the extraneous coding that my text browser (DOSlynx) can't process anyway. Either something I can just type in...

I would be down for some 286 ram. if it is affordable I have a single 1mb chip right now.

Yes I have. I know where the voltages come in, what I am wondering is if there are continuity between any of the pins. Maybe some of them form a bridge to charge the batteries?

Sure can, it was a two-parter. I just posted it for someone else last night. It's a different computer, but the same pack.

I saw on a video that it takes a heat gun and a long time to crack into one.

Can you please do continuity testing on the 18v charge and tell me what pins have continuity? I am wanting to make sure I get the battery charging circuit connected correctly because I will be rebuilding my battery pack as well.

I ordered 10uF 35v for mine. I had three of them pop, one of which was visibly exploded and two that showed no visible signs of damage but showed no resistance during continuity testing.

Thanks. I am trying to make as accurate a replica as a can, and I am rebuilding the battery pack so I might hit you up for more info later if you have an actual wall adapter (not the car adapter). But no matter which adapter you have, I am curious about how that interact with those supposed...

I understand that you can use dupont connectors, I already have the part. What I want to know is if the original adapter had anything to interface with the two ground pins on the side. See picture below.

What does the side of the connector look like where the two side grounds connect? What is being called pins 1 & 2 here.
