Hi everyone, I have a working SE/30 with System 7.5.5: the English version works very well, I can connect to the internet with my CNet PDS card (no drivers required), surf the web and use ftp. But then I tried to install the Italian version of system 7.5.5 on another partition and internet...

I never started a comprehensive "conquests" thread until now, mainly because I never thought I'd buy many things in these last years. But I came across some really nice pieces, so I'd like to share them with you guys. Some things may have been already posted, but I don't remember what was lost...

I feel a little sad sharing this, because I hoped it would turn out better than this. But probably my hopes were to high this time. I read countless times these machines are fragile, so I paid for reinforced package...aha of course it was useless. I bought it off Buyee for around 125€ included...

I have this CC that came without keyboard/mouse: the logic board has clearly been recapped by a previous owner, but I don’t know if it works for sure. If I remore the logic board I can hear the fan going and a clicking sound (failing HDD?), but if I try to jumpstart by inserting the logic board...

Hello everyone! My SCSI Zip drive is having some problems lately. At first my SE/30 freezes if the Zip inserted is not properly recognized. The Zip drive suddenly stops and the whole thing crashes. It seemed to happen with just one faulty cartridge, but now I can’t read any of them. Should I...

After a long wait, I finally picked this Lc550 logic board at the post office:   I got it at a good price from Japan, and now it will probably need some restoring.   It appears to be dirty but not too much, it even came with VRAM and RAM already installed. I’m just a bit concerned...

Hi everyone. I recently put a LaCie 8gb external HD into my SE/30, added the proper jumper for termination and installed various versione of system 7 in more than one partition (it has 5 partitions). A month ago the HDD didn’t mount on the desktop, but using a Zip drive I somehow managed to...

Hello everyone! I have a SE/30 that boots from the internal HDD only if a ZIP drive is connected. I initially thought it may have something to do with bad traces on the motherboard (and still haven't checked since it is not my area of expertise), but then I remembered: the HDD is a Seagate 8GB...

Hi everyone! After some time searching for one, I Irecently bought an Apple IIgs keyboard for my SE/30 (the seller lives just 2 km from here, what a coincidence!). It is quite yellowed but the keys are quite nice and not sticky. I plugged it to a SE/30 with a cord taken from a working AEK II...

Hello everyone! I recently acquired a CNET technology cn470e PDS card, which I installed some days ago. I wrote another post about it, but unfortunately no-one replied :( (https://68kmla.org/forums/index.php?/topic/57586-se30-cnet-network-card/). Probably the post is too dense and full of...

Hello everyone! My SE/30 has always had a weird problem: if I boot from the internal hard disk, most of the time the system software doesn't load, and the floppy icon appears (as if the HDD took to long to spin). This happens almost every time, maybe it will boot once every 20 times or more...

Hello everyone! I hope this is the right place to post this, if not so then I'll remove the post. Some weeks ago I acquired on eBay a PDS network card for my SE/30: it's a CNET Technology CN470E card. Just today I found some time to install it, and TattleTech indeed confirmed some stats...

Hello everyone! I have a Mac SE/30 with 8 mb if RAM and a standard ROM and I would like to make it 32-bit clean, but I can’t seem to find any! Rominator has been discontinued this february, gglabs ROM is sold out, and IIsi/IIfx ROM are very hard to find. Is there anyone there willing to send or...
