Ok... so I got the new converter with termination and it still does not work on my LCIII and IIvx. I'm just going to assume the hdd died and order another one.  I cleaned the spots uniserver mentioned and nothing changed. Either I didnt clean deep enough or there is some other issue. I'll try a...

It's terminated with a zip drive. I tested the LC with a normal SCSI hdd and it boots, so I didn't zap the main board, thankfully.

It's one of those 10K rpm Seagate/IBM drives so I'm kinda surprised it failed. It could also be the Chinese SCA adapter... I ordered one of the nicer ones with termination to replace it. We'll see which fixes the issue. :)

Ugh, bad news today. I didn't have the supplies to clean the board today so in the mean time I was going to get ftp working on my IIvx. I swap the hdd over from the LCIII to the IIvx ( I'm cheap and only have one ) and it wouldn't boot. Messed around with the jumpers on my SCA converter...

Thanks :) Some of you guys are pros at soldering so I feel ashamed when I post my stuff haha. For the FPU, does the speed have to match the CPU speed? My LC III is 25mhz but I plan to overclock. 

I'll have to check out that fat remover tool, looks pretty neat. As for my solder job... it wasn't very clean mostly because the tip on my iron is too big. From what I can tell I have a lot of excess solder, especially on the middle cap. I'll have to go clean it up when I get a better iron...

Hmm. As I plug my headphones in I get slight static out of the internal speaker. No sound through the headphones tho. 

Hey guys, I've been messing around with my LC III more and noticed it can be pretty sluggish at times. Most notably games, I tried running doom out of curiosity and that went very poorly, haha.  My ram is already maxed and I am using a 10k rpm laptop drive (SCA converter). I know you can...

Hey guys, I ordered tantalum caps for my LC III and didn't think to look at the size codes of the caps before I bought them. The 100uf and 10uf caps are size B, which is freaking tiny. The 47uf caps are size C which is more reasonable. My question is whether the tiny B caps will work assuming...

Yeah, I think i'll probably pick it up if its still for sale in the next few days. I've been wanting to get a 6100 for awhile now, so when I finally do the card will actually have a purpose.

Hey guys, I was browsing craigslist for mac stuff as usual when I'm bored and noticed a listing for a DOS card for $10. They didn't really go into detail about the exact model, other than It includes the Windows 3.1 disks. Just wondering if this is a good deal since I don't actually own any...

That's my kind of solution.

I actually have a Plus I just picked up that's making a slow ticking noise too. Is that something that I should be concerned about?

Thanks a bunch. I just ordered the only one I could find. Which happened to be new in box...

Hey guys, I just picked up my first compact mac a few days ago. It came with the keyboard but unfortunately, no mouse. I was wondering if there were alternative mice that could work with the connector or if I had to use the original apple mouse. As I would assume the alternative would be cheaper.
