    About to replace internal SE/30 hard drive with SCSI2SD; confused about which cables to connect to SCSI2SD

    Hi everyone! I'm about to replace my Macintosh SE/30's internal hard drive with a SCSI2SD that I have working with no issues. I opened my machine for the first time today to try and disconnect the old drive and hook up the new one, but I noticed that there is a cable next to the hard drive...

    Does anyone know where to buy the Macintosh Security Kit?

    Hello everyone! I was just wondering if anyone knows where I might be able to find the 1984 Macintosh Security Kit for sale (see the pictures below for what I’m looking for)? I’ve tried looking on eBay, but I don’t think there’s anyone selling them!  If anyone could recommend some places that...

    Macintosh SE/30 only reads 2MB Floppy Disks?

    Hey everyone, I’ve got a weird one for all of you that I couldn’t find an answer to online. I was using my SE/30 last night, and I was using some floppy disks I bought off eBay. However, all of the 1.44MB disks couldn’t be initialised by the Mac. I thought that the drive might be broken, but I...

    What software is on the first edition of the Macintosh Plus manual?

    Hey! I'm trying to find the software that is featured on the cover of the first edition Macintosh Plus manual, which can be found here! It looks like a spreadsheet/charts application, but I can't seem to find anything about it on the internet. Thanks everyone!

    Is it possible to download software and transfer it to a floppy disk via USB Floppy Drive from a 2018 MacBook Pro?

    Hey everyone,  I recently began working on fixing up my Macintosh SE/30, and I got the floppy drive working again last night (yay!). I would love to get some software over to the SE/30, but I don’t have any other vintage Apple computers to download software and transfer them to the Macintosh...

    Error while Initialising Floppy Disk (Macintosh SE/30)

    Hey everyone! I ordered some floppy disks a few days back and they arrived today. All the Floppy Disks are 1.44MB High Density Disks, and they are all unformatted. However, I am having an issue with them. When I insert them into the Macintosh SE/30, I get the menu to initialise them, and then...

    How to Install System 7 onto SD Card for SCSI2SD using BasiliskII?

    Hello Everyone, Following up on everyone's extremely helpful information yesterday, I'm going to try and replace the HD inside my Macintosh SE/30 with a SCSI2SD. One person told me that you can install System 7 directly onto the SD Card using BasiliskII, and that removes the need for all the...

    Questions about the SCSI2SD (Macintosh SE/30)

    Hey everyone, I recently bought a Macintosh SE/30, which I use practically every day. The hard drive inside of it is 40MB and is the same HD that’s been there for 30 years. Over the past three/four days, I’ve been getting suspicious that the internal HD is about to fail (or at least will fail...

    Would these Floppy Disks work on a Macintosh SE/30?

    Hey everyone! I'm very new to vintage Macintosh. I got my first vintage Mac (an SE/30) after years of wanting one last months, so I apologise if my questions are stupid! I have suspicions the internal hard drive on my Macintosh SE/30 is beginning to die after ~30 years. I want to save all the...
