    SE/30 and Daystar PowerCache P33 Universal

    If you want to get the most upgrades into your machine then definitely go with Bolle's, I bought one and its really nice to have the NIC built in and frees up a slot for when an internal grayscale card is released or I can get my hands on one.

    Color Classic won't turn on - Analog board issue

    Unfortunately I never was able to resolve the issue, I was tired of throwing parts at it without success and ended up getting a new AB.

    Building an internal grayscale card for the SE/30

    Can't wait for the opportunity to be able to get one of these if they become available, would definitely make for the ultimate compact Mac.

    SE/30 Chassis Painting

    I didn't really mind the bit of hazy though I do see the appeal of the crystal clear. I figured I would grab one while they still had some so I wouldn't end up regretting never having the chance to buy such a limited product, its really well crafted. I'm wondering how it would look if it...

    SE/30 Chassis Painting

    I wanted to go with black chrome look but couldn't find any spray local, so thought this would go well. I did fortunately think to check continuity, everything is good to go on that end.

    SE/30 Chassis Painting

    Just wanted to show off a bit of work that I did today. The chassis had a bit of rust on one of the rails so I felt it would be a perfect candidate to do a bit of painting on it and show off in the beautiful Mac Effects case. After taking off the rust and cleaning everything thoroughly, I...

    Macintosh SE/30 System 7.5.3 & 8.1 HDA image for ROM upgraded Macs

    Good Morning, I have seen quite a few tutorials on how to install System 7.5.3 & 8.1 so I decided to create my own HDA image that will work on a bluescsi (and possibly other such devices) that will work for an SE/30 with an upgraded ROM (such as the MACSIMM or BMOW). The image has not been...

    Patched Hard Disk .HDA File for Blue SCSI System 8.1 for the SE/30?

    I'll try to get one working tonight, shouldn't be too bad to do and will give me an excuse to fire up the SE/30!

    Color Classic won't turn on - Analog board issue

    Could be, not sure what points it needs to be in contact at to ground? I haven't tested the AB fully outside of the case because i'm not sure if thats safe to do without the flyback being connected.

    Color Classic won't turn on - Analog board issue

    An Update to this: I've replaced a few more common failure components. I replaced the RIFA cap that was cracked in the above photo along with a film cap. I also replaced the 1N4148 diodes and an IRFBC40 MOSFET. Board is still having the same issue and I feel like I'm coming up short on ideas...

    Color Classic won't turn on - Analog board issue

    Good Evening Looking for some help with with an analog board issue I'm having. I recently acquired a Color Classic that doesn't power on. With the logic board removed, flipping on the power switch with it plugged in creates a constant clicking sound. Here is what I've tried thus far: Full...

    Best way to transfer data to Mac SE

    I was able to get Cubase v1.0 to work on my SE, but couldn't get 2.5.1 to work though I didn't fiddle around with it too much. I was however able to get 2.5.1 to work on my SE/30 but that is running 7.5.3 so perhaps it might work on the SE.

    Best way to transfer data to Mac SE

    Something like a zip drive would work, its pretty inexpensive storage. If you plan on doing future work on the SE then you could go with a Blue SCSI or SCSI2SD and replace the old hard drive with a nice large SD card with all the storage you need.
