Really looking forward to tinkering with this.

I followed the same video and put in a new fan. It's quieter but still not... whisper quiet. So far, so good.

Hey all, My brother is working on his Color Classic board, and it was incredibly helpful to me to test the continuity once recapped. But I've searched, checked my history, and can't find the image file that showed the pin outs or kind of how to test each capacitor. It's wild. I was certain...

Yes. These hard drives are just dying left and right. Literally was booting from dad’s SE/30 internal drive before recap. It quit working after a recap. External SCSI works fine. They are simply old drives. There is video on how to repair the Quantums out there.

Hey there, I’ve got a IIgs and am cleaning it up. Will follow along. I got kits to recap the motherboard and power supply, but no sign of leaking. I am worried about the little battery. I got the USB boot drive and it’s awesome. May get a UEthernet. Haven’t solved the video problem yet either...

My Synology is running Netatalk 3.1.8. It appears to be a non-traditional install too, as there are not the usual conf files available. (Probably so that the web GUI can control a few of its main functions.) When I do "afpd -v", it comes across as: AFP versions: 2.2 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 Yes, I...

I've been tinkering with this too on my NAS (Synology). My 7.5.3 Color Classic with OT 1.3 can see the AppleShare on my NAS, but my SE/30 with 7.1 and OT 1.1.2 doesn't see it (despite have Localtalk Bridge active on the Color Classic as well to bridge the Appletalk/Ethernet connections). I'll...

The SE/30, despite some issues with the BMOW MAC ROMinator II, is humming along quite well. My Color Classic has screen issues, which seems common. I didn't see a kit for it on Console5, so I'm curious if you all recommend a particular store that sells a kit for this Mac or if the Mac Classic...

Your page is such a great resource. I really appreciate the benchmarking info around file transfers on the More page, because I am waffling around on options to connect my SE/30 (currently without an ethernet card) for file sharing and/or internet. Do I spring at least for an ethernet card or...

I just want to thank everyone in this thread for your help. Though my IIci and Quadra boards are going to be a long term work in progress with damaged pads, I nerve-wrackingly recapped my father's SE/30 today. I did a couple of capacitors twice, because I wasn't sure. And I will be clear, it's...

I had this exact issue when I installed a FPU the wrong way. For one, I should have noticed how difficult it was to firmly place in there. But yeah the arrow and the dot should line up. I'll pull out my Color Classic in a bit and make sure it lines up with the image here. Once it was aligned, it...

I'm over in New Carrollton, MD. Not far at all. I see the trace too in the picture, but it's so TINY up close. Don't have a magnifier or anything. I was using these boards to practice. The Quadra would turn on but give the Mac chime of death despite the board looking pretty clean. It initially...

Hey, I'm in Maryland too! Maybe we should trade notes. Here's the Quadra board I worked on tonight. I don't have fancy tools, and while I did okay on most of the caps, I lost two negative pads. I watched some videos of replacements, but I don't see the connections to these negative pads to...

Yeah, worst case scenario, I have a Quadra 605 board that I am going to recap. It's case is just crumbling into pieces, so it may fit. Otherwise, I will have fun. I sort have been toying with the idea of a Pi4 as an A2EServer box in the case. But I may also look out for another IIci board on...

I picked up an old IIci from dad's house - it has battery explosion damage, so I'm not sure if I will get the motherboard working. So, I do have some extra NUBUS cards (ethernet/video) and stuff and will be curious about your journey. I'm waffling about using the case, which is decent enough...
