    Macintosh II to High-res RGB display

    I am restoring an original Mac II (M5000).  I have a period correct High-res RGB display (M0401Z) for it. The problem is I don't have a cable. I hacked  together a straight cable using  DA-15 connectors but it doesn't work. The mac was booting into desktop, there was an image, but the...

    New to Mac, got two SE/30s, hardware ID and some basic questions

    I think this is what you get if there is no SIMM ROM and perhaps even no motherboard connected to the analogue board at all.

    SSL email solution

    You can instal stunnel on any modern Mac, just like most opensource software via Macbrew - https://brew.sh As for how it works. stunnel is a daemon that can be configured to operate in client mode where it listens on a port. Any incoming connection to the port is then proxied to the remote SSL...

    SSL email solution

    You can install stunnel on your Mac Mini. That would do the SSL handshake to your email server and expose clear IMAP/SMTP ports to your vintage client.

    How to write 400k discs images

    Please forgive me for asking this basic question. How do I write 400k disc images to use them on my Macintosh 512k? I am using Macintosh SE/30 with System 7.5 w/internal SuperDrive and external 800k drive (M0131). I managed to copy .img/.dsk files downloaded from the internet to my Macintosh...

    Macintosh Plus keeps tripping RCD

    Replaced C33/C36 and the board seems to be fine now. Thanks! These were relatively easy to replace. I even didn't have to take the board out. I am happy I didn't have to replace the bigger caps... Originals don't look too good:

    Multiple internal SCSI devices in a SE/30?

    Is it necessary to configure bus termination in any way when adding more than one internal device?

    Macintosh Plus keeps tripping RCD

    Thanks. C33 and C36. Is that on the original board? The only scheme I found is for the 120V board where this part is actually slightly different. Anyway, I guess these are two small line filter caps (4700 pico farad, Y class) just next to the power inlet. I will try to replace them.

    Macintosh Plus keeps tripping RCD

    I recently acquired a Macintosh Plus (version with the international 220V analog board - as I am in UK). It seems to be working fine. However, there is a strange issue with it. When switched off and connected to a wall socket (the switch on the back is off) it always after a couple of minutes...

    Fan replacement for a Mac SE/30

    I replaced the fan with Noctua NF-A6x25 as suggested above. Slightly more silent, but still quite audible. Do you guys recommend to use any ultra or low-noise adaptor (13.38 CFM) or would you run it at full speed (17.2 CFM)? I am using sd2scsi so no internal hard drive inside my SE/30 if that...
