Nice read! From the MacintoshGarden page it reads as if the upgrade is a 16MHz 68000, not a 030, but combined with a chip to accelerate the bus speeds. That would explain a clean x2 on speed as it is all running twice as fast as the original CPU and bus. If you can spare a few photos that would...

Hmmm unfortunately my joy was short lived. I managed to get one proper boot out of the system on BlueSCSI but now have massive disk corruption. Even after fsck'ing the whole thing it refuses to boot into the UI and just drops me into a console mode with Getty errors etc. Need to start over...

Thank you all for the recommendations... (insert Borat voice) GREAT SUCCESS ! For future reference : I downloaded the Lacie Silverlining software from here : https://www.macintoshrepository.org/23793-lacie-silverlining-5-8-3-silverlining-lite-2-2-1 . This one has a bootable disk image that I...

Is there a bootable disk image that has that driver/software? I’ve looked around and have not been able to find one.

Wow, this is turning out to be one of the most time-consuming installs I've tried in a long time... As I have a few SCSI2SD v5.1boards lying around I gave that a try. Even though these work fine in my other vintage relics it just plain refuses to work in my SE/30, SE or anything else. I...

Slaton are nice and responsive. Only thing I have with my SE/30 is that these new SIMMs are much thinner and rattle in the sockets (and therefore do not work, not even with the 3D printed retainers). But that is true for all the newer modules not just theirs.

Silicon Insider sold them but do not see them listed. Those are the purple ones. Maybe send a message. https://www.tindie.com/stores/siliconinsider/ Or slatoncomputers on Ebay.

First 2 !

Thanks! I’ll post a few screenshots of the settings panel in the Mac for reference. I have a small scope, any way I could use it to test the signals on the port for valid video output?

As shared in the “marktplaats” topic a nice Quadra 700 came up for sale. Not super cheap but got a fair deal. Looks to be in great shape! Keyboard and mouse are clean and working, I connected my dirty SE/30 gear to it 😂 Theee is an interesting card in the box. Not worth anything by the looks...

Nice! Yes found those as well. Just can’t find a drive that takes them…

Really impressive what you’ve accomplished! Maybe one day I’ll try to build one! Out of curiosity, would there be a technical limitation to get both the Ethernet and the MicroMac Performer (which also uses the SE slot) both in the same SE? As I’ve understood it so far the SE does not have real...

I would highly recommend getting a FloppyEmu. It’s not cheap but will allow you to use virtual floppy images and comes bundled with all of the system disks. You could use a virtual floppy or HD20 disk to store your work on flash memory (and backup elsewhere) instead of trusting your old Mac with...

I’ve browsed about a million tape drive ads on EBay but am not able to find any 20 / 40 QIC drives. If somebody knows the exact type used by Apple please share!

I have a few other tape drives and sure thing, they are challenging. I’ll Google a bit more for the tape drive model. Impressed with the mega noisy drive still running 😄
