    Mac SE/30 + Bolle Adaptor and 040 card Issues

    Ok it's sorted. It was a pin lift on one of the GAL chips on the adaptor board. Quick hit with some solder and it's working perfectly. Thanks for everyone's suggestions. All valid but in this case it was a hardware issue.

    Mac SE/30 + Bolle Adaptor and 040 card Issues

    Yes, stock rom in one machine with MODE32 and the os patch and I tried with the rominator II in the other. The system runs perfectly otherwise. Passes benchmarks, Switching Carrera modes can sometimes crash it but only occasionally and I guess with what's going on inside, it's not unlikely...

    Mac SE/30 + Bolle Adaptor and 040 card Issues

    It's strange isn't it.. Proven hardware, and both SE/30's work perfectly. I did try 7.1 previously but to no avail. OS is patched but I'll certainly try that image.

    Mac SE/30 + Bolle Adaptor and 040 card Issues

    Hello All, I'm struggling a bit chasing an issue with the above combination. What I'm finding is when the 040 is enabled via the control panel, the video seems to go wonky horizontally. I'm getting a sort of doubling of lines. I'm wondering if anyone's seen anything like this before. I've tried...

    Ah very cool! Audio is my day job so it's been an interest for a very long time. I actually ended up using a quadra 700 and a Nuverb recently live with a very well known performing artist! It got some looks although I was using an HDMI converter rather than lugging a CRT in. I think I'm going to...

    It's another exercise in frustration really. Why spend 1 minute with a raspberry pi when you could have it take you a number of days and still not work quite as you expected it to with your friend, the ANS700.. It does drown the silence out though which is a feature not a fault..

    There's a great many other items in that list! Gone to the great e-waste pile in... well, Glasgow.

    I think everyone's jealous of my ANS 🤣 I really ought to do it's PSU's. There's not many capacitors in there really. I need to find some small rivets to get it back together though which actually may be the difficult part.. Along with encouraging things to come off the ground plane although I...

    SE/30 unusual video issue

    Vsync line?.. I'd probe between UG6 and UF8 along with other destinations around it. Corroded via maybe? If you have an oscilloscope it might be worth looking at what's bouncing.. (or not)

    Hello everyone, I thought I would offer a bit of an intro from a long time lurker.. So I'm a fellow collector, hoarder, serial ebayist... whatever you prefer to call me. I’ve been more active in recent years and have been collecting well before it was ‘cool’ or people made YouTube videos on the...

    QuickTopix

    Absolutely, the Quicktopix drive I have certainly wasn't cheap either.. Or media at the time for that matter. It does work perfectly with Toast and CD Masterlist so it's happily purring away but I'd love to use the original. I really ought to recap it actually. Might do that in coming weeks.

    Heya yes I saw that one but it's specifically the mac version I'm after. I'll give the windows version a try but the device is hooked up to my quadra on a more permanent basis.
