Mac SE/30 logicboard recreation
What I'm hoping for, and this extends to all the reproduction-PCB projects (aside from the Mac ones, I've seen a replacement Atari 800XL and some Amiga designs) is that we can come up with a way to reproduce the ASICs rather than scavenging them from dead units.<p>For some machines, there may be an ample supply to scavenge (old Macs being famous for barfing their batteries in a way that destroys the PCB but leaves the chips intact), but some other designs have far more limited supplies of spares.  Plus there's the attrition risk-- something is gonna get damaged while parting out some percentage of the time.<p>The introduction of replacement ASICs would allow us to grow the total population of a rare platform.  I could imagine offering a turnkey kit-- a PCB plus every part necessary to populate it and have a working vintage Mac/Amiga/Atari/etc, with fresh capacitors and enthusiast quality sockets and PCB materials.  They were able to offer such a kit for the IBM PC, but that was famous for not using custom components.
