awesome, thanks for confirmation!

Hello! I have an old 7600/120 desktop mac running OS7.5.3 with this PC Compatibility card: ofcourse it runs OK with it and I have all the needed cable(s). But that system is too slow for my taste tbh I recently acquired a desktop G3/266mhz system: it is faster as expected and it...

I did not search at all for the PSU recap, I just removed the old caps, determined what series they were and just ordered replacements from mouser paying attention to the dimensions.  Pretty much I did the same for the analog board. When I searched google for the logic board I found your...

excellent video - I wish I knew about it before I recap my PSU , would have spared me the time to search for caps on mouser  :b&w:

thanks for info both of you!

Hello! Continuing the troubleshooting of my SE/30 (and before I start more serious work on the motherboard) - I need some help getting a replacement drive for the system. I found a forum post with the same issue I have: https://www.applefritter.com/node/4495 , this person's SE/30 also crashed...

thanks!!!!  so the trick was to search for "Debug button"  :scrambled:

Hello as per topic, did anyone ever made a 3D print design for the SE/30 programmer's switch that is open for public use? thanks!

I think some ram is bad - disabling 32bit mem-access (so 8MB is useable) does not freeze the system with rom boot on normal hdd OS boot I get this error: Sorry, a system error occurred. "Finder"       unimplemented trap will try with some new ram tomorrow unless someone else suspects...

Hiya ! My SE/30 started doing this yesterday: once you insert a floppy disk it access it twice , the hdd/trashcan/alias icons on desktop disappear and the system freezes.  On reset the mac will eject the floppy disk. I have a BMOW Rominator-II and it also freezes with the ROM/RAM boot options...

really interested in this when it gets finished , great work @ronan  :b&w: my se/30 is waiting

thanks @cheesestraws those look great!

thank you all for the replies! what I found hard looking for an ethernet card was not knowing exactly what is the name of the card I am looking for  is there some hardware database of expansions? I have seen the floppyemu device, seems nice but it is costly... how does one transfer files with...

Hiya! after restoring a SE/30 I got I am now puzzled how to make easy pc->mac file transfers. I have bought these extras so far: - BMOW rom module - SCSI2SD v5.1 with OS7.5 SD - bracket to install scsi2sd on expansion port for easy SD removal thinking I would insert it to pc and have some...

thanks to the info in the previous thread I went with the polymer can caps for that stock look: it was a complete success, even the original HDD that would not boot started to work just fine after the recap: I also did the psu and crt chassis so the system will be ready for the next 30...

thanks! just making sure since I have no experience with those systems  bw:)

Indeed I was talking about "leakage current"  Once again some good info, I will go with the can capacitors and the KEMET 1uf one  ::) now for the final piece of the puzzle - tbh I don't think it will even matter in the end

Hello, can someone please verify for me that this 3.6v 1/2AA battery is good to use with the SE/30? https://datasheet.octopart.com/LS14250-Saft-datasheet-10854732.pdf - or maybe something better exists nowdays? thanks!

Oh I see, thanks for the insight I was under the impression the ZA ones would not leak... good to know! Allright I am now not sure if I go witht the "can" shaped ones  or the tantalums LOL  :)   price-wise the canned are cheaper: I can't imagine leakage is that huge of a deal - I assume...

Hello! I recently got a SE/30 as well and in the interested of making it last several more decades I started fully recapping it. I do not understand the trend of replacing electrolytic capacitors with tantalum ones, I see this on amiga world as well... Anyways I am about to order these...
