Try opening up Keychain Access (Application Folder > Utilities Folder), Trash the key pertaining to your Airport password in the System Keychain, then reconnect to your Airport, it'll prompt for the password, then type it in. Voila! Sounds like also the PRAM battery is getting old or low...

I can confirm that this does work, after recapping 2 SE/30 boards. I would probably go so far as to say it may be far more safe, compared to using the dual pencil soldering iron method. No pads are ripped, didn't see any liquid leakage, though. One note, when cutting, if you can't get the...

That's great, Uni! And even rare, a significant other who shows interest! :approve: This can even open doors for both of you to careers in repairing electronics, as well. My dad, a licensed electrician for over 40 years, taught me how to solder when I was about 8 years old. I later took...

Is that a Zip 100 or a Zip 100 Plus? If the first, I would check to see if termination is enabled. If the latter, the 100 Plus should enable termination automatically. Next, make sure that the Zip and EN/SC adapter have different SCSI ID numbers. Finally, try turning both external devices on...

Correction: System 7.1 through Mac OS 7.6 Compatibility With Macintosh Computers. The SE/30 DOES NOT utilize system enablers, no matter what version of System 7 you run. Try downloading the System 7 Tune-Up version 1.1.1 from the Old Apple software downloads page: Here, and this is the...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't some of the early versions of System 7 have issues with disappearing or missing folders and icons? And wasn't there an extension or enabler issued to fix that problem? 73s de Phreakout. :rambo:

Alot, but Trash, can you start posting in "I-Can-Haz-Cheezburger" speak? It makes for a more interesting and entertaining on your posts, imho. :o) :lol: :D 73s de Phreakout. :rambo:

Fyi, I am trying the cap-clipping technique and so far it's not that bad. My hats off to using this method, but please use your best judgement. Not all boards are made equal; there can be hidden severe damages due to age and/or corrosion. So far, one board is coming through with flying...

In addition, can you boot it into Open Firmware mode and tell me what version of ROM is running? IIRC, the last firmware update put it to version 4.1.8f5. I think that version may fix the sleep issues; reading the descriptions tells me the update improves overall stability and performance...

If you do in fact have a Zip 100 Plus external drive. it means that it will accept both SCSI and Parallel printer port as a means of connecting to a computer. One port is for SCSI, the other is for the parallel printer port on older DOS/Windows PCs. So far, it appears that it may have...

Your welcome. I guess that's why IDE replaced SCSI as a standard for hard drives. Technically, they both are so alike. But who wants to monkey around with confusing DIP switches and settings for these kind of drives? 73s de Phreakout. :rambo:

I stand corrected. |) 73s de Phreakout. :rambo:

markyb86, The reason why there are terminators on SCSI is due to the fact that there is such a strong signal sent down the wire. When it reaches the other end, if nothing is there, it will bounce the signal back to the source (it echoes). It's almost like how echoes reflect off of the sides...

In adding to this, see of ClassicHasClass can help. He created iCab web browser that runs on 68K, also TenFourFox browser, as well. 73s de Phreakout. :rambo:

Version 5.1.7 is the last one compatible with Classic OS (System 7-OS 9.2.2). Version 5.2.3 is the last one compatible with OS X (up to Tiger 10.4.11, I think). 73s de Phreakout. :rambo:

Amen to that. In a pinch, those caps will work. Don't know if they're any better than SMD orange colored tantalums I use (the same ones that trag uses). You'll just need to make sure you trim the leads short enough and make sure you install them in the right position: + to +, - to -. Duh...

I agree. Although, I am finding that it may be better to try cutting the old caps off, like what Mk.558 has posted. I agree as well. But to be more gentle on the board, use a small wire brush kit like this. Not saying to get that exact kit, but one similar to it. That one I posted is uber...

Um, on second thought, possibly not. After looking through the GIFs of the schematics, they do show " Apple Computer, Inc." in the lower right-hand corner of each page. It doesn't appear to be a reverse engineer from a 3rd party, like Bomarc Services (http://www.bomarc.org). They currently...

Trash, For those needing further detailed diagnoses, would posting the entire schematics of a machine be allowed as well? I've got a backup of the entire blueprints for the SE/30 if you'd like. Not sure if it would violate 68kmla post policy, though. :-/ 73s de Phreakout. :rambo:
