    MacSE Mobius-30 33Mhz

    Due to the limitation of SE board (68000), you cannot use 20mb of RAM, only RAM installed on the Mobius 68030 board can be used (16mb max). To optimize SIMMs installed, the Mobius driver allow you to use SIMMs installed on the SE board (4mb max) as a RAM disk, it's better than nothing ;-)...

    MacSE Mobius-30 33Mhz

    Hello, I have the same, but 25Mhz version, not 33Mhz. But the position of the jumper is the same : RAM : Jumper to 0M = No RAM on the Mobius board.   Jumper to 4/8/16M = four SIMMs on the Mobius board (four 1MB or 2MB or 4MB SIMM). By the way, if you have 70ns SIMMs, you can remove W12...

    WANTED: Apple HD 20SC stock drive AUDIO & PHOTOS

    I can do that, but the MiniScribe is not very fast ;-)  , more than HD20 due to SCSI, but very low compare to next SCSI HD. To show you, I run Speedometer 3.23 on a SE/30, with the external 20SC, and the internal Quantum LPS525S (500Mo). HD 20SC Miniscribe : Internal LPS525S :

    Revitalization of a PCMCIA Rev. B card cage

    520c run with 7.5, which is HFS only, and, as all 68k, even if you run 8.1 to use HFS+, it cannot boot on HFS+ volume, only PPC can. 540c run well, but no battery inside (all dead), and PRAM battery is empty. And I need to wait a couple of minute after to plug power supply to be able to start...

    I already tried the PCMCIA module (revB) to use CF card to boot on my PB520c, that run well :-) The CF card appears in the Finder (I was able to format the card). I put a copy of the system folder from the hard drive and was able to boot from the CF card:    I also tried to do that in my...

The CCFL backlight lamp is easy to replace. There is a...
