Thanks so much for the encouragement, it really does mean a lot to me :) Using a magnifier headset with LED's on it is the only way I could see what's going on here, would really like one of the fancier microscopes, so I could get over 2X-4X magnification. The pro repair guys all have...

I would fix every rotten trace on this board, no matter how long it took, if it were to even produce a Sad Mac error code, or a sound. I tested the UE8 connections with a meter, to figure out what was broken; UE8 was entirely replaced. I should have screen artifacts, or missing video lines if...

Would've liked one of these boards in black or purple, can't do red.

1. I'm getting 5.04V at pin-5 of both UB11 and UB10, and they both go to 0V with the Reset button. 2. Was able to see UI6: 32MHz on Pin-1, and 16MHz on Pin-17, and Pin-2 Thanks! Good to know, thanks!

Definitely did try headphones, same click-pop noise as the speaker. You can see how nasty my sound chips are though, UE10 was already removed and replaced.

I have never once been able to enter test mode on this SE/30, or an SE. I've only recently come to understand that a Sad Mac tone must be heard, in order for the Test Mode to work at all. I plugged in an SE and a genuine Mac 8-pin COM cable, straight through to the SE/30 board, hit reset a...

Found it, thanks! https://www.gryphel.com/c/sw/sysutils/diskfaid/ Also going to try making a System 6.0.8 .hda with Basilisk II, and include this and Zterm.

I'll try both SE's, but no Sad Mac when connecting the COM cable, and pressing either of the two buttons on the side, which on all three boards does Reset when pushed.

Thanks for the reply! The HDD from this SE 5011 never had a problem with turning the platters, this one sounded like the head was stuck on first boot. Probably scratched the platters pretty good where the head was stuck, and then forced to spin again. The motor is great on this 5011 HDD, but I...

I'm having a difficult time with the Test Mode too. Was able to get the Transmit Line Feed, and Local echo setup in the Terminal tab of Tera Term, it looks like it behaves and works correctly now when pressing *A and *5, but I get no answer from an SE or SE/30, using my newer PC and Prolific...

After watching the ADB video, I had to do it differently, as I don't have a Y, or a berg connector. These are the jumper settings I used - the cloning process is able to be run solely over the 50-pin SCSI cable, using the SE PSU, or external PSU: PWR-ON=closed, TRM_PWR=closed, both Initiator...

An older friend from work just gave me his SE M5011, apparently he has no attachment to it, and didn't want to deal with selling it. I had told him of my recent success of an SE M5010 restoration, and of another work in progress with a fussy SE/30. So he figured I could use some more old Mac...

Thanks for the help, the PDS slot is much easier to measure. I'll go over all this thoroughly this weekend. I gave that pinout a try, and there is still no answer from either the SE or SE/30. With TeraTerm setup like the ADB video: Can't believe how difficult this has been for some reason...

Will check it out.

Which address lines are you suggesting I should measure? Thanks.

Will dig out the scope today, it's buried good, but really wanted this cable to work.

I have a working SE, that is also not answering to the commands shown in the video. *A - for ASCII mode *5 - to run the test *R - No response from the SE or SE/30. I'm now wondering if my DB9 was wired backwards, because I'm using a female connector, and the diagram shows the male pinout...

Making this Tech Step cable has not been easy, still not getting a connection from either the SE or SE/30. As verified with a continuity test. DB9 = Din-8 pin color 4. DTR = 1. Black 8. CTS = 2. Brown 3. TXD = 3. Red 5. GND = 4. Orange 2. RXD = 5. Yellow 7. RTS = 6. Green 1. DCD = 7. Blue 6...

Amazon delivered me an open-envelope today, that was empty, my DIN 8-pin cable is floating around in the back of an Amazon truck - somewhere. The replacement cable will be here tomorrow, was hoping to get this going today.

Going to try this:
