Hello all, One of my SE/30s came equipped with a graphics card (and even more (?)). There is very little information on or about it. The two only parts of information is: The PCB says: MEMORY PLUS COGAM-4 REV B on it, and there is a EPROM, labeled: Color SE30 A13 - IPT I would to know more...

Hm.... macos9lives.com claims that the white CD with orange 9 on it is a non-machine-specific version of 9.2.1: http://macos9lives.com/mac%20os%209%20lives_003.htm

I found what seems to be an image of a Tiger retail copy, that doesn't seem to be a problem. My problem in fact is to find a German OS 9 :( The OS 9 CD of the CD set you linked does not work quite well, since OS 9-CD is not bootable :( I used the exact same way to burn it like a OS 9 CD from...

Hallo all, I recently dug through my SE/30 parts collection. A HDD carrier sled which caught my attention. It looks quite different but still similar to the original one, but a number of points are strange to me. I was not able to find a picture or hint for the other variant on the Internet so...

Well, it took me a little while to find the time to do it. Just a bit of isopropyl alcohol and it looks nice now, gunk is gone :)

Thanks for your replies. I will give it a try using isopropyl alcohol.

99,9%.

Hm.... I've never seen that before, and both my other compact Macs do not have that issue.

Hello all, I recently had some small solder work on a SE/30's analog board. I used (no-clean) flux. Afterwards, I noticed some greyish/white residue/shimmer on the board. I cleaned the spot I've been working on using isopropyl alcohol. I got the impression that like the more I used it (on the...

Hi all, one of my SE/30 has a problem with its CRT HV connector (see image). The rubber of this connector disintegrates into that ugly, sticky mess. Is this a "standard" part somehow? Does anyone have a hint where I could get a replacement (I'm in Germany / the EU)?

OK, thanks!

One hint regarding a "modern" server system: in the Linux-world, there is netatalk, which is an open source implementation of AppleTalk. So you could use a Raspberry Pi, or a Linux VM or maybe even your NAS if you happen to have one (see...

Oh yes, good hint of Phipli. You won't be able to browse modern websites (is it any wonder for a computer way over 30 yrs old?). These bring so much code and complexity in the background that it takes ages on such an ancient machine like the 68030 to parse. Additionally, pretty much every...

You should immediately check whether it has been recapped. If not, consider doing it - the sooner the better. If you don't do it, you risk that the capacitors leak and literally corrode your logic board. Also, check the age of the 1/2 AA battery. It has the potential to burst and spread acid all...

Hallo all, I'm going to recap my Classic II's logic board and ordered tantalum caps. Just to be 100% sure: The "non low ESR" variant is the right one? These are the exact part numbers I ordered (KEMET is the manufacturer): T491C105K050AT T491C476K016AT T491A106K016AT

Dear people of 68kmla, a story of more than 11 years now comes to an end :) I recently received the logic board back that marcelv has taken care of. First try, I had horizontal stripes. I gently pushed RAM and ROM into sockets, then the board booted. But there was one issue left regarding the...

OK, seems as if a working OS 9-CD would be enough, for OS X getting a retail copy of Tiger or so should be easier. I'll give the images a try, thanks for pointing them out :)

Dear all, I bought a Titanium PowerBook G4 (PowerBook3,4) a while ago. I'd like to clean install it, and of course want to have the original software that came with it. I want to use this machine mainly with OS 9, for OS X I want to install the most recent version that's reasonable. However, I...

Dear all, thank your for your recent replies. Actually, my board is currently being taken care of.

Dear people of 68kmla, I am writing because of a broken SE/30 logic board. In 2011, the board has been recapped, not choosing SMD parts sadly, and by removing the original caps, serious leakage has been discovered. Also, no cleaning has taken place. (Cfer...
