    Do I have an old version of the Rominator?

    Mine doesn't have any formatting or system tools on it. Fine for playing a few games but not so great as a diagnostic tool or old Mac prep tool. Here's the contents: Crystal Quest Crystal Quest Sounds Glypha II MacSokoban Missile Command Paint Same Game Same Prefs Space Junkie System Folder...

    Restoring my SE to SE/30 conversion; fan question

    Here's comparing the board with the wired fan and the one with the fan with terminals. The SE/30 had the wired fan that I want to replace with terminals fan. Here's what I think I need to do. Find out what that transistor is at R31 and replace it, then run a bodge wire at W6. That should...

    Restoring my SE to SE/30 conversion; fan question

    I'm restoring my SE/30 that was an SE conversion and the fan is super noisy. I pulled a quiet fan out of an SE parts machine but I discovered that the noisy fan has wires and the other one has 2 terminals sticking out the back. It looks like the analog board has a place to solder in a fan with...

    Modern 30pin SIMM Brands?

    I bought some from CayMac Vintage on Ko-fi. They were inexpensive and work great. https://ko-fi.com/s/c3f82f22b9

    MagicSD for SCSI2SD owners

    I can't get any of these dsk images (6.0.8 0r 7.5.5) to mount using miniVmac, SheepShaver, or Basilisk II. Basilisk using system 7.5.3 wants to open them in DiskCopy 6.3.3 from the Unix shared drive. it just says "cannot be mounted from the disk it is presently on.". I can mount a few other disk...

    Noisy fan on Macintosh SE 5011

    I have a squirrel cage fan in my SE/30. Maybe that's not the original Analog board? I have an SE parts machine too, I think I'll check and see if it has a bladed fan. If so, I may swap the boards.

    9" Monitor alignment tool?

    I'm trying to adjust the alignment on my SE/30 monitor and having a hard time finding the 2.5mm nylon hex key that fits in the monitor adjustment pots on the analog board. Anyone know where they are available? I see the kits on Amazon but they don't appear to a have a hex key and that's really...

    I'd for sure buy a card that gave me grayscale in the internal 9 inch.

    Mac IIci rebooting every 5 seconds

    I have a Mac IIci that was having sound issues (really quiet, could hardly hear it) so I recapped it last night (while watching Mac84's live cast). Today I put it back together with only four 1 MB chips in bank A and left out the cache card and battery and left the top off the case. I hooked it...

    Troubleshooting SE/30 garbled screen, no chime before and after recap

    I swapped out 4 different sets of RAM in bank A and also swapped out the ROM with my ROMinator and got the same problem. The Dead Mac Scrolls says check the ROM chip but that can't be it since the ROMinator shows the same problem. I do get a flashing "?" with the original ROM since the SCSI and...

    Troubleshooting SE/30 garbled screen, no chime before and after recap

    That's the Dead Mac Scrolls book says. These symptoms point to a missing ROM.

    Troubleshooting SE/30 garbled screen, no chime before and after recap

    Any ideas? I didn't replace the axials because they still look good. I have a working SE, can I put the SE/30 board in the SE to see if it works there? Are they interchangeable?

    Questions with Mac Plus

    Yep, I have a G3 233 that I use as a bridge Mac. It has Firewire, USB and SCSI. Usually I will transfer files from my modern Mac to a USB/Firewire drive via USB. Then transfer to the G3 via Firewire. I unstuff and mount and re-package all software and files in a more compatible format. I can...

    VCF East 2022 Swap Meet Haul

    I was there looking for some NeXT stuff and a 12" RGB for my LCII, neither of which were there. I ended up just buying some small stuff like a 5 port EtherHub, a pair of TP Link Ethernet extenders, a USB hub, etc. I did pick up a free 4:3 LCD monitor though. It works great with my Beige G3 233.
