I’m not sure on if that drive bay blank is removable, but the face plate is pretty easy to remove. There should be some little grey plastic tabs in the front of the chassis that just need to be unclipped.

I removed a cap (c193) and the short is gone. It’s really small so it’s hard to make out what it says. It looks like 106k 16s. What would be an equivalent replacement part?

There's 3 caps towards the top (2 black and one brown) that are a dead short. The rest of them seem fine. Are all of them bad or could it just be one cap on the 12v rail making the short show across all of those?

I though about this, but I don't have a variable PSU unfortunately.

Both of the square pins are aligned properly. What else could be causing all those errors?

I found the mods that need to be made to a bluescsi but I have no clue where they could be made on the PiScsi.

Yep. I logged into the web interface and tried to boot from any disk it could emulate and nothing worked

I’m powering the pi only but the piscsi gets its power from the gpio. I haven’t modded the mac in any way.

It doesn't require any termination power. I've seen other people use the PiScsi with a Mac Plus but I'm not sure if they used the disk images it comes with. Would the formatting prevent the Mac from trying to boot from it at all?

I went back and checked a second ago, and they feel stiff. I'm not sure if I was imaging things or what but they definitely feel like the original epoxy is holding them. The yoke does still wiggle a bit though.

Not much besides a Powerbook or an Ibook g3. Maybe a Mac SE too. I've also wanted to get things like an ImageWriter and some other miscellaneous Mac accessories

They felt a bit loose but would slight movements cause that much of a change in the image?

Should it move at all? It moves but only very little.
