That's the problem. The extension itself is over 2mb in size, and it's memory requirement is set to 4mb. On a SE/30 with 128mb of RAM that's of course not an issue, but I didn't realise the SE's maximum memory was so low! The reason the extension is so big is due to a combination of factors...

@Michael_b Attached is a version of the extension with some logging added. Before installing, please rename your primary disk to "Mac HD (68K)" (without the quotes). Solely because I was too lazy to write the code to find the primary drive... Then after rebooting, wait a few minutes and you...

@Michael_b @10001001sos I finally had some spare time and I believe I've figured out the issue with System 7. The issue was not MacTCP as I originally thought, but simply that you need to install the Thread Manager extension. I had previously only tested the extension on System 7.5, which...

@just.in.time sorry, if I had of known the packages were different I would have made this clear on my GitHub readme  :( I also found this on the OpenWRT site: https://openwrt.org/unsupported/nand_flash Note the table at the bottom: It says must be forced into booting from NOR flash - but...

@Michael_b @10001001sos I just did a quick test via the Network Software Selector to switch from Open Transport to MacTCP - and I was able to replicate the problem. And I was using system 7.5. So I don't think it's to do with System 7.1 but MacTCP - I'm looking into it. In regard to some sites...

I FIXED IT!!! THANK YOU @Bolle! I started checking each connection, and I re-checked them on a known working board to ensure I was doing it correctly. I eventually found IOW on the SCSI chip was not connecting with the GLU chip, but it was connecting fine on my working board. I soldered a wire...

Hi all, I tried adding the jumper to my Twinspark to see what effect it had on my Daystar Turbo 040 - I was blown away by the improvement! The MacBench scores speak for themselves. Below I tested my SE/30 with a Daystar Turbo - one with the Jumper and one without: But scores aside, the whole...

I know a few other people have tried getting a Daystar Turbo 601 working in their SE/30, but I thought I'd share my experiences. I tried installing a 100mhz Turbo 601 in my SE/30 using a Twinspark Adapter. I experimented with various ROM's using the BMOW ROM Simm Programmer and here's the...

Thanks all for the encouraging words. I was going to pack it all in after frying my LCD controller - but you've motivated me to keep on trying. @Byrd thanks for the offer. I'm pretty happy with the results using liquid silicone rubber, but I'll keep it in mind cheers. @trag I actually included...

Hey @10001001sos sorry for the delay - please see attached PDF of my router settings. My settings are a bit of a mess - mainly because I don't know how to rename the network interfaces so they are a bit misleading. Here's what I can tell you: The first interface LAN is the Bridge between the...

Here is the only photo I took before I accidentally fried the LCD controller board... a fleeting moment of glory: It looked great - zero distortion and the curved resin panel fits the Mac perfectly. I accidentally reversed the polarity of the 12v power to the LCD controller - smoke ensued! I...

Quick update: As you can see from the broken shard of glass below, the CRT cutting was unsuccessful! But perhaps it was a blessing in disguise, because as you can see the glass is very dark, thick and has a stipple texture on the inside. It would have led to poor clarity from the LCD. But it...

I'll keep that in mind for the next release! The current logo looks like this which is not nearly as interesting:  

Well I don't care what you all say, but recapping with tantalum capacitors is HARD! Last time I tried, I gave up and switched to electrolytics - which I found much easier. That said, this time I had success... I bought this NOS motherboard over a year ago, still in original packaging. Apart...

I've been scrounging parts for a while now to somehow upgrade an SE/30 to a colour screen. I finally started piecing it together: The Mac has a RasterOps ColorBoard 264 in its PDS slot, and I've connected it to a VGA controller via a DB-15 to VGA adapter. Thankfully the VGA controller...
