    Documentation for SE/30 graphics card needed

    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...

    SE/30: Strange HDD sled found

    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...

    Analog board: White residue -> disintegrated protection coat?

    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...

    SE/30: Rubber of CRT HV connector disintegrates - searching replacement

    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)?

    Replacement tantalum caps: low ESR or "regular" ESR?

    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

    Who can fix my SE/30's logic board as service?

    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...

    SE/30: (Still) Simasimac after full recapping

    Dear all, it must have been around 2011 that I started recapping my SE/30. I don't know why I did that in the first place, whether because recapping is a good thing anyway, I discovered capacitor leakage or the Mac had already stopped working back then. There is already an ancient thread...

    Asanté EN/SC stopped working

    Hello everyone, I have a SCSI ethernet box Asanté EN/SC which worked fine for many years but then stopped working suddenly. The symptoms are: no matter which application I try to communicate with the EN/SC, the respective app hangs (thus the whole system). What I tried is: - Asanté...

    SE/30 solder pad-problems while capacitor exchange

    Hi there, I am currently recapping a SE/30. Unfortunately, some solder pads (and their environment) are completely gone away due to the leaked capacitors. So I need to know where the caps C10, C9 and C6 can be connected alternatively. As I am surely not the first one with this problem, I...
