    SE/30 SCSI or drive failure?

    So I booted up my SE/30 I've left alone for a bit. I put in a younger (ca. 1995) hard drive I had laying around last time I messed with it, which I used LaCie Silverlining v5.7 to initialize and install a disk driver for. Everything was working fine as of then, excepting quiet audio and display...

    Color video from SE/30 for cheap?

    What's the cheapest way to get color video out of an SE/30? Even 256 colors at 512x384 would be perfectly fine. I find that my interests in this computer are more often limited by lack of color than lack of hardware on this. And I could just pull out my Performa 630CD for that, but it takes up...

    Floppy drive compatibility question

    I've got here a Performa 630CD, and a 400 MHz Sawtooth Power Mac G4. Is there any compatibility reason why I couldn't pop open the 630CD, remove the floppy drive, and attach it to the G4?  I have a bunch of software on floppy that I want to get backed up to a modern computer. Unfortunately, my...

    Apple Desktop Bus Mouse II

    Hey, got a Performa 630CD off of Craigslist recently, the original owner even maxed out the RAM and had literal boxes of software and manuals and books. One of the few things I can fault about this is that the original mouse for the system is jerky in certain directions, it feels like it's...
