After partially sliding out analog board, there are two soldered wires (red/black see pic)  preventing me from removing board from assembly. How do I get to the connection on the assembly to remove them. Also how do I remove hard drive?  Yes I looked at service manual but didnt see it

Is there a utility (for compact macs) to clone an entire hard drive from the internal drive to external SCSI ?  Or to a file I have a floppy emu. It says it can handle up to 2GB raw disk images.   How would I make my own blank 500MB raw image to back up to?  (or custom size for the drive I am...

I bought some SE/30's that are missing the hard drive, bracket, and LED I will be installing a 2.1GB SCA HD with 80 to 50 adapter. Questions: 1) Where do I connect an LED? I have a bunch of ATX PC LED's with 2 pin female header. Where would I connect this? Or was the LED originally...
