I recently acquired an SE/30 with a DaynaPORT E/si30 network card.  I've found the drivers and installed them ok but I can't get the machine onto a network.   The diagnostics utility reports the card is installed ok and the green light on the card starts to flash when I plug the network cable...

I did my first re-cap yesterday on my SE/30.  I'm glad to say it went well.  I wasn't getting any sound before, now I get clear and loud sound through the headphone jack.  But unfortunately I'm not getting sound through the internal speaker.  I plugged in another internal speaker (smaller), and...

I recently obtained a couple of compact Macs with Sony SuperDrives.  In both cases the drives wouldn't read disks.  I did the usual servicing of the insert/eject mechanism and both inserted and ejected disks fine, but they still wouldn't read disks.  In both cases the issue with the drives was...

Are there any instructions for removing the top part of the eject mechanism for the Mitsubishi Superdrives? There's a really good guide for doing this on the Sony drives: https://wiki.68kmla.org/Floppy_drive_lubrication I was hoping to find somthing similar for the Mitsubishi drives.  I've got...

Hi All, I spent some time yesterday connecting my Mac 512k to my Windows pc via serial cable. I created the appropriate cable and all works fine. I'm using MacTerminal 1.1 on the Mac and I can transfer files between each computer using XModem. But I'm having the dreaded problem that each...

I'm a newcomer to the old Mac OS's, only really got involved with it due to buying some old compact macs through ebay. So this subject is probably old hat to many on here, but a problem I'm having with my Plus running system 6.0.8 is that when I double click on a file it doesn't launch in...

I've had a Mac Plus project on the go for a while now, it's been upgraded to 4 meg or ram, it also came with a CMS 20 meg HD and I've also added an original HD20SC. Most recently I also got a DaynaPort SCSI/Link-T ethernet adapter. The CMS hd works fine with the Plus without a SCSI...

Hi All, I've got my hands on Dyna a scsi to ethernet adapter (DaynaPORT SCSI/Link-t ). But I don't have a power adapter for it. I've tried a multi-adapter and tried various voltages for it up to 12v but it doesn't power on. If anyone has one of these that are working can you tell me the...

I tried connecting the macplus to my pc via a serial cable. Cable on the macplus end has a din connector that goes into the plus's printer or modem port and a 25 pin connector that I've attached to a null modem cable then into the pc via a usb to serial cable. I know a lot of cables. Last...

I just bought an old Powerbook 530c to use to transfer files across to the MacPlus, works great. The powerbook has an ethernet adapter which I've connected to my local network but the installed system (7.6.1) doesn't seem to have any networking components installed. The powerbook didn't come...

Hi All, Great site. I recently bought a couple of old Mac Plus'. One is in really good condition and has a CMS 20 meg hd, it fires up and everything on it seems to work great. The other one works but has a damaged case and defective floppy but would be good for some of the parts i.e. screen...
