    TwinSpark Powercache incompatible?

    "A propos" KTKM, my P33 33mhz works perfectly in my SE/30 along w/ a cloned TwinSpark adaptor and a Farallon ethernet (RJ45) card only when the Power Central control panel is uninstalled. Power gain is significant and TattleTech displays clearly the 33mhz CPU and FPU. W/ Power Central...

    ROMINATOR, RAM & 7.5.5

    Hi Neal. I have the same config as yours (Rominator II, 128Mb RAM) and my SE/30 is runing flawlessly MAC OS 7.5.5 To do so, just follow Gamba's tutorial. You must indeed downgrade to 7.1 Removing RAM and ROM is not necessary. http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/os8_se30.html Description...

    SCSI issue w/ Color Classic

    I bought few days ago a very clean Color Classic. Obviously, caps leaked on the Mother Board. Our fellow forumer Bibilit is in charge of the restoration. First of all, he performed a complete recap of the MB. Then, testing the MB: no gong and no pointer. After a desoldering/resoldering of...

    Strange video issue w/ SE/30

    Bolle, that’s definitely not that kind of artifact. I was wondering; I am a violin maker and my SE/30 sits on my workbench close to gouges, metallic tools and other ferric stuff. Could it induce some kind of magnetic disturbance that can manifest itself in those artifacts I am experiencing?

    Strange video issue w/ SE/30

    Hi again. My SE/30 (as everybody knows) equipped with 128 Mb of RAM, ROMinator2, SCSI2SD, RJ45 ethernet card, Daystar PowerCache 33mhz, recapped and analog board checked is developing a strange video behavior. Some “snow”, “noise”, “white interferences” appears quasi each time I use it (see...

    I have ordered a brand new (chinese) battery... We will see if this solves the problem.

    Powerbook 180c startup problem

    That’s correct and I do believe my PRAM battery is indeed, charged.

    Powerbook 180c startup problem

    Unfortunately I don’t think so. The main battery is not actually dead, it holds little charge (1 minute, maybe less). In fact I kept it in the machine in order to charge the PRAM battery.

    Powerbook 180c startup problem

    Hi. I am rebuilding a PB180C. Screen capacitors have been changed. The machine boats a SCSI2SD, a custom 10Mo Ram expansion card and a new PRam battery. The main battery has a 1 minute autonomy. However, each time I disconnet and reconnect the main power supply the machine does not want to...

    Powerbook 1xx PRAM Battery question

    Hi. I am rebuilding a nice PB180C. Regarding the PRAM battery, it has been replaced but, date n time, memory, mouse, sound... reset each time I disconnect the power adaptor. This machine, since its rebuilding has never been run with its main battery connected. My question is: is the main...
