Cool. My company was able to get a few of these DTK's and I had a bit to do with setting it up for the rest of our staff to use it. I had to lock it up in a room that only a few people (including me) could unlock and the rest of staff used it over remote access. When the time was up, Apple's lawyers were pretty adamant they wanted it back pronto, so I had to box it up and send it back via their special courier.

I had one also but as an independent developer and the process was much less threatening sounding. I originally wasn't even going to bother because it sounded like they had very few and were going to be pretty restrictive with who could get them, but a few weeks after they had started sending the kits out they sent a reminder email to developers that they were available and at that point I decided since they clearly weren't all gone I might as well try. I've never even published anything directly to the Mac App Store, I just gave them links to multiple apps I developed and they approved the application and sent the DTK. There was no special courier and the return was just a normal prepaid FedEx shipping label. It's pretty cool that someone was actually able to activate one of these several years later, I'm surprised they didn't disable that on the server side.

This reminds me of a big box of windows 98se cds I recovered from a business that shut down and they tossed them in a dumpster. They had never been installed, or even opened, but they were supposed to be destroyed and written off. The way they choose to destroy them was to drill a hole through the installation cd. Unfortunately they only drilled through the box and went right through the center of the disc and through the hole that was already there. Not a single one was damaged and I managed to save and sell 120 discs for $40 each. That was a good day.

I don't understand why businesses do things like that. I found my own main PC in perfect condition in a dumpster similarly to this.

Many companies “destroy” prototype equipment when it is no longer needed due to IRC 174 (tax code). Basically the prototype is rendered reasonably worthless to insure it is no longer used by the company or anyone else, otherwise they do not get to deduct the cost of the prototype. The IRS became very concerned in the 1990s that companies were writing off the prototypes but still using them in business (if it’s still being used you can’t write it off). The developers basically leased it, and at the end of the lease they would send it back and get a credit for what is essentially a production level replacement (a bare bones Mac mini for developers was about the same price). They got the credit no doubt because maybe they might rather have something better than a base model Mac mini, like maybe more RAM, or more storage, or maybe a laptop instead. Cutting the PCB is just due diligence, certainly it “could” be fixed, but probably the amount of work would not be worth it. Though a determined you tuber with a soldering iron might fix it not for its intrinsic value, but for the views as well.

I also kinda object to another common feeling people express. These aren’t “perfectly good machines”. They are a low volume orphan with limited potential. The processor wasn’t an M1, it didn’t support all the important MSRs that the M1 had (some for instance might make Rosetta work better). It didn’t have the same number of cores in the same configurations, the peripheral interfaces were not the same as the M1. Apple wouldn’t want to support this configuration in a shipping OS. “But Linux” you say… sure, but what district would want to carry around support for such a limited machine? It isn’t a waste, it is just how development works, there are steps and often times the intermediate steps are simply limited usefulness. Historically significant, sure, and I am confident that apple saved a few examples for its archives. I am equally sure that somewhere out there some developers didn’t turn one back in (probably more than one maybe). Either that developer just forgot, or intended to give it to a museum so others can enjoy it, or simply keep it secret for long enough to sell it to a collector for a profit later. (Which sounds a little shady I guess)

If people want to use them, they should be able to do, apple can just be very explicit that they are unsupported. The fact that this is considered normal is a pretty bad sign of how our society works.

Insane amount of research to get this to work. There were so many points where I thought "how could he possibly know that".

I once punctured my HDD pcb with a very small Phillips head screwdriver. HDD wouldn't respond whatsoever. I took out the pcb and after some careful observation, noticed there weren't any traces at or near the puncture, so I took a flathead and slowly ground away. Once there was a sufficiently large enough hole that I could clearly see through, I cleaned it off to make sure there wasn't any copper dust and finally taped on both sides to prevent anything going in and causing a short. Plugged it into my PC and it started working again. It's still in my PC right now, haven't had any issues whatsoever.

Depends entirely on where the damage is on the board. If it's through power rails, but doesn't affect any rails which are vital for basic functionality like in this case, you can just clear the damaged area and it'll work If the board's snapped in half and is multi-layer you're SOL since the traces under the surface layers can't be accessed to be rejoined without destroying the other traces above them. Same if the damage is more centralized, the board was drilled or the damage has occurred in an area where a lot of critical power and data traces reside.

It is possible to repair PCBs, including traces deep within a multilayer board. It just becomes more and more expensive to do, so it’s rarely worth the effort. Take a look at Pace’s “Adventures in Rework” video series. They demonstrate excavating traces, fixing them, and then repairing all the layers above them to restore the whole PCB.

I remember a guy at work had blown a fortune on a dual pentium server board to get a bit of a gaming advantage while everyone else had the fastest CPUs but only one of them. He had his PC setup for ATX and when he first installed the MB there was a standoff sitting right where a heat spreader is mounted on the server board and this high spot caused the board to crack when he screwed it down. After this was discovered I helped him move the standoffs to the right spots for his server board and we got it running, but someone walking past his computer was enough vibrations to cause random errors. It was so painful watching him suffer with it.

It can sort of do it on macOS Big Sur, but with even Sonoma about to be superseded come WWDC, I wanted to ask if you’d be up to the task of developing a patcher specifically for the DTK that would allow it to be updated as a normal Mac. If so, that would be absolutely amazing. Thank you for all you do!

@@JonGretarB I use an iPad Pro and would love a much better window manager… I’m so sick of dismissive comments like yours i.e., “because I don’t do something means everyone thinks just like me!” Apple put the name “Pro” in iPad, they also gave it the Mac chip when they didn’t have to… they gave us proper mouse support, which once upon a time did not exist, in the m4 generation they moved the camera to the top of the screen like on a MacBook, they also gave us an excellent keyboard with function keys like a MacBook… it’s clear from the hardware perspective, iPad Pro pro is much more Mac like than ever before. Apple also gave us thunderbolt (with pcie tunneling), and the ability to connect to a monitor (with DisplayPort tunneling). These are Mac like hardware features. But the software is too limiting. Apple should bring macOS lite (with the traffic lights 🚥) and free form window management, possibly the ability to run Mac apps, the ability to use more than one audio source simultaneously. The files app should have the ability to unmount media and format media with no partitions (give us APFS, HFS, exFAT … just like on Mac). The hardware is already more than capable… the software needs its training wheels taken off and let power users tap in to the hardware. And just like stage manager, if you want to turn off the free form window manager and go back to ‘regular iPad OS’ then give us that option as well. I think Apple needs to stop presuming that only it knows best what the user shall be able to do with the hardware, and instead empower users to be able to use the hardware in a more open manner, similar to how it is on the Macintosh. The Macintosh is a great paradigm for what an Apple operating system can be.

You have the hands of a surgeon my friend and I have worked with a lot of surgeons. I started doing a little SMD work following you guys but nothing on this level. I am curious why Apple would destroy them. They are only worth scrap... or to collectors who would pay more than scrap price as is no warranty same as the scrap dealers. I am sure there is some business/legal reason but makes no sense to me.

What, so you didn't do anything for traces and it works just fine? mind blown

So strange seeing it with 3 battery slots 😆 I wonder why

@tschuuuls486

Basically the circuitry that is responsible for the real time clock? Or nvram? Not really sure is not optimized at all and uses "a lot" of power when the system is off. So the quick fix was to tack on multiple batteries because it's a prototype after all and was designed to be returned after a few months. I read somewhere that even with the three batteries installed it drains them in a few months lol.

The SoC was designed for use in an iPad, which has a gigantic battery at its disposal to run the SMC/RTC coprocessor off of when the device is off. In that instance, the amount of power it draws is not an issue. The DTK doesn't have that, of course, so instead they added multiple coin cell batteries... Which even then, still die after 6 months.

​@@dosdude1Ah that makes a lot of sense. it was such a joy seeing you bring this back to life. Seeing that restoring software bar move along after all the trouble you went through... I am so glad this unique piece of hardware made it into the right hands. Thank you for persisting and saving it. And thanks for the reply too. That's hilarious that even with the added capacity of 3 batteries that it still only lasts 6 months 😆

How does MacOS run? Is it a fluid experience with no lag? If so basically proves Apple is gatekeeping iPads from MacOS so they don't cannibalize sales

I mean the latest iPad has an M4 that is faster than the processors in most Macs, so the power was never the question.

I'm not deep into current apple lore. Do they have any hardware they ship w/ MacOS that supports a touch screen interface out of the box? Maybe MacOS w/ touch isn't exactly ready for prime time yet? But yeah, it also wouldn't make very much sense from a SKU marketing perspective, both from the sales cannibalism vantage point, and from the consumer confusion vantage point. The latest M4 iPad pro is at the very border of sanity in that regard.

Also, Macs can run whatever software you like, whereas iPads can only get software via the App Store - from which Apple get a cut.

Beyond grandmaster...awesome video, your knowledge, explanations, calmness made this watching totally epic!

Outstanding workmanship, Sir. Beautiful, and beautifully presented. Congrats on restoring your "hen's tooth" dev system. A rare bird, indeed. Hope some apple bum doesn't "come knocking".

@@dosdude1 very good vid and specially that you explain every single small step. ❤ Easy to follow you, but it would be hard to do it by myself. Not only for this project…I have an SG Note 4 with Ram on top of the cpu, which has connection issues. 😭 maybe I should use this to learn soldering with flux and air heater. Many thanks for your great video!
