    I made a video about upgrading a RAM card

    Really well done!! I LOVE these 500 series, and I have three working 540c, and several parts machines. I bought a machine from a gentleman about four years back, and it had a screen problem. But, it also had three things in it: 1. 32 Mb Ram card. 2. APS 800Mb hard drive 3. NewerTech 603e...

    Trying to get just a little more power out of my Mystic Color Classic for Leisure Suit Larry 7

    Just an interesting point: when I run Marathon on my color Classic Mystic, it skips when booting to 8.1, but runs smoothly when booting to 7.5. Also have Spicy o clock up to 49 Mhz and 60ns VRAM.

    Identify SE/30 video card

    Hey, just resurrecting this conversation. I purchased a IIsi system a few years back, and it had one of these cards in it. It did not come with the monitor however. I found a gentleman who created an adapter that provides 1024X768 on a separate display. The IIsi also came with a riser card...

    PowerBook 500 series halftop mod

    After reading this post, I hooked up a couple of my 500 series, and I found that the monitor output is active even with the lid open. However, I also found that one of my 540s does NOT output video, but a 2nd one DOES. I'm going to have to remove the logic board from the one 500 and swap it...

    Building a Spotify player for my Mac SE/30

    I just got the BlueSCSI v2 with WIFI running on my Mac Portable. I'm wondering if this software will work with that? Has anyone tried this with less than a 68030 Mac?

    PowerBook 540c hinge restoration: SUCCESS!!!

    My friend 3d printed some clutch covers, I haven’t test fitted them yet, but they look identical. I’ll ask him about his designs again, apologies for not following up on this.

    MicroMac ThunderCache Pro find

    Hey all, a guy not far from me had a large collection of vintage computers fully restored: Coleco Adam, TI 99 4/A, Amiga, etc. i bought two LCs from him and one of them had this card: Apparently it’s quite rare. Has @Bolle or anyone else reverse engineered this yet? There’s no FPU in it...

    IIsi Dual PDS Riser

    The Micron card is hard set to $09 the Radius and MacCon can be changed to $0A and $0B so to not conflict with $0E (built in video). It would be super cool if $0E could be dedicated to another card instead somehow.

    IIsi Dual PDS Riser

    I have managed to run three cards, MacCon, Radius Pivot IIsi and the Micron XCEED simultaneously.

    IIsi Dual PDS Riser

    I haven’t tried the dual PDS card in my SE/30, it would be cool if it worked. Might have to remove the floppy to do that though..
