I have the same issue with my 230. I had a 210 which I swapped the displays over though that too had the same problem just to a lesser extent. I can put up with mine but it is right in the middle of the screen pretty much. Would have been happier had it been more like yours that was on the edges...

Oh Jesus that's nasty. Well best thing to do is get that board some soapy water and get your wife's spare toothbrush out and see what's actually going on under that gunk, stat! If it's salvageable, get the lemon juice and/or vinegar on stand by, but I wouldn't hold my breath. . .  xx(

That's the one, near the centre, next to the SCSI port. Finding the dongle might not be so easy, but be patient and a reasonable prices one should crop up soon enough.

I definitely concur with that. I wish I could remember for sure if mine did or not. I sold it since I didn't feel there was much point having both machines.

As @cheesestraws said, I probably would have opted for the 660 too given the choice. I do actually have the Quadra 650 and it's a friggin' beast with it's PDS 100Mhz 601 and 24-Bit video card fitted! Has great expandability and far more modular for parts since a variety of machines shared it's...

When I bought my IIvx it had the original caddy type CD-ROM drive, 64MB of RAM (like yours) and fully populated VRAM. I've since swapped out the RAM for smaller ones (was wasted on that, was better used in my 040 IIci), added a Radius Thunder IV GX and a bigger HD (1GB). It sounds like your...

Not 3 grand? Wow! That's an amazing haul for $250.  8-o No idea why it says 3k for me. 

Well you can definitely colour me interested! I have a spare FPU somewhere and I can source a crystal without much trouble.  Keep us (especially me!) posted.  :)

Nice work! There's a guy on eBay that been flogging off FPU cards fro some time (with a ROM socket) but damn they're pricy for what they are. This design definitely looks far more affordable. I do hope someone here can fabricate some and offer them on here as a group buy. I'm sure I'm not the...

Just sell it as a Mac compatible card. Old PC Rage cards are peanuts to buy, but Mac ones can command a reasonable price. 

Very, very nice. $3k though, ouch!  Rarity costs, and in this kind of boxed condition, I can understand. Congrats, both on the haul and your still ongoing marriage.

Now that's a fast SE/30!  8-o Can we see some Speedometer readings?

I was so unimpressed with the speed of the LC under any kind of System 7 OS to the point that I downgraded it to 6.0.8. I found the LCII could cope with System 7.1 to a decent standard though, but I wouldn't go any higher than that on a standard CC. As others have said, the CC is a very slow...

I had a set of disks that the shutter was spring loaded both ways (like a normal diskette). But weirdly, you could click it all the way to one side and it would 'lock' in that position until you pinch it and doing that would ping back to it's closed position.

Oh that's very, VERY nice Bolle. you always find ways to out-do yourself with yet another amazing example to reverse engineering. I don't know how you do it! Definitely still up for a Cache add-on for my Carrera that's sitting in my IIci. To be honest, money-no-object, I'd really love another...

I've had no issues with Norton's DiskLight. They usually have a little control panel option so you can choose where it shows (too left or right corner) and if you want to show the ID and floppy activity. Find it quite nice to have for machines that have no disk activity LED on the case (which...

I've exhausted all my solutions in trying to replace the SCSI HD in my IIsi with a larger one, but hopefully someone can tell me a possibly stupidly obvious thing I may have missed or am doing wrong. My IIsi HD has it's original 80MB Quantum HD installed, but since I had a spare Apple branded...

My Plus is immaculate, so a box for that would be a dream, but probably way out of my price range.

Depends which video card you have. If you got the type that uses SIMM style V-RAM then yes they exist and are often sold on eBay for not very much if you ignore the "lol price" sellers. The 512K flavour which carry a bit of a premium compared to the 256K's. They're probably the easiest and...

Agreed. Liberal use of some tin foil to reflect heat might be worth your time. Better yet, if you can get hold of a sheet silicone that's heat resistant (like them futuristic oven gloves).
