I just got this NIC for an SE/30 that was sold as working, but I can't figure out who made it, so I can't get the right drivers. The seller claims to not know either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just picked up a PowerMac G5 for a steal, but it was missing its hard drive. Right now the only spare SATA device I have laying around is a 64 GB SSD. I can get the machine to boot from the 10.4 install disc, but it won't recognize the drive no matter what I try. I did try connecting it with...

I have an Apple Multiple Scan 15AV that was working perfectly until the other day. It started off just fine, but about 30 seconds after powering up, it suddenly became very dark, and this has persisted since. The brightness knob also no longer seems to have any effect at all. I'm guessing this...

Can someone help verify that this ROM works in an SE/30? If I made the changes correctly, it should have the checksum test removed and also skip the RAM test while booting. I figured I could just test it in an emulator before buying a ROM SIMM that had this on it, but no emulators seem to exist...

I have an Apple Color StyleWriter 2400 that was untested, but had been moving even as recently as this morning. However, now when plugging it in there is a high pitched whine, the power button does nothing, and the power light never comes on. Any ideas where to look?

I got this screen twice in a row last night while turning on my SE/30. However, after the third attempt, it worked fine, and it's been working fine since. Also, maybe two or three times since I've had this computer, the screen has lost sync or something and just gone crazy while running. When...

Does anyone know which CD drives are bootable? It sounds like only certain drives or firmwares actually are able to boot certain machines, but finding specific information is a nightmare. The best I’ve been able to find is a reference in a thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3774685 My...

I have an SE/30 that I'm working on, can someone help me understand the difference between MODE32 and swapping in a 32-bit clean ROM (I believe usually imaged from a IIsi)? According to a site I've found ( http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/os8_se30.html ), it seems like with a IIsi ROM in an...

I recently picked up a Performa 6200CD that I'm working on. However, no matter what I do, I cannot get it to boot off of CD, so I'm unable to install Mac OS 8.6. Can anyone provide any advice here? I'm using a burned CD of 8.6, if it makes a difference. Also, if it matters, the CD drive it came...

I recently got an SE/30 with leaky caps, so I cleaned up the board and recapped it. However, it is still having some various problems. If someone could point me in the right direction on any of these, I'd be very grateful. If it has been off for a while, the first attempt to boot will give you...

I was given an SE/30 for Christmas that I'm now working on now (just waiting on some caps and I can put it back together). I've seen some references to possibly being able to run greyscale on the internal monitor using a Radius Color Pivot IIsi, but unfortunately all the links (which go to this...

I've got an Apple Standard Keyboard (model M0116) which is pretty dirty. It seems to me that the easiest way to get it fully clean would be to pull the keycaps off so I can really scrub them. I'm really worried about breaking something, is there a trick to pulling the caps off, or any gotchas I...
