    MacSE Mobius-30 33Mhz

    I think that should be fairly straightforward. For my SpeedMac board there was coprocessor socket. I installed a MC68882 and it worked fine, but not all software is compatible with the SANE “trap” that most SE accelerator’s control panels use to enable the 68882. Also, the MC68882 sold on...

    MacSE Mobius-30 33Mhz

    Duo 230c Heating up - battery short?

    I'm not sure we have the same exact issue, but my Duo 230 recently developed a burning smell, which I narrowed down after disassembly to the area of the motherboard near the battery charging terminals.  In my case the Duo continues to work, but I don't want to use it.    In my case the NiMH...
