Should I use the disk driver supplied with System 6.0.7's Apple HD SC Setup on a stock Macintosh SE, or are there any benefits with using the one in Apple HD SC Setup 7.3.5? Also wondering if there are any non-Apple drivers out there that are faster, or otherwise better.

I have 16MB of physical RAM (4x4MB) installed on my Mobius 030, and I have some questions about Connectix Compact Virtual 3.0.2: 1) When I set application memory above 4MB, will it also use the 4MB of (slow) RAM that is installed on my Macintosh SE motherboard? I don't want that RAM to be used...

How can I output samples to the sound chip on a Macintosh SE without using Sound Manager? I assume the sound buffer in RAM is not mapped directly to the hardware, but is instead set up and handled by Sound Manager itself? The reason I want to skip Sound Manager entirely is to create as little...

diskcopystrip is a simple tool I wrote that strips all Disk Copy data (header and tags) from Macintosh floppy disk images. I know this is not a tool for 68k macs, and as such is maybe not suitable for this sub-forum, but I'll give it a go. I thought it could help others since it was a huge time...

I have a Macintosh IIsi that would give the sad mac chime since it had severe issues with onboard RAM (bank A), so I desoldered the RAM chips and their bus transceivers (74ALS245AD) as they were corroded anyway. The board now chimes and boots from floppy or HDD, but I get a black screen. It...

Some sources (even Apple themselves) say that you can't use 1MB 2-chip RAM SIMMs in a Macintosh SE, while other sources (random forum posts) may suggest that it does work. Have anyone confirmed if 2-chip/3-chip 1MB RAM SIMMs work (or don't work) in a Macintosh SE...

I'm getting a Macintosh SE soon, and it has this connector on the back that I haven't seen before. Does anyone recognize this kind of Macintosh SE add-on? It could be anything of course, even a custom hack. I can't seem to find anything like this on google.

I'm in the need of a bootable floppy disk image that has the patched Apple HD SC Setup 7.3.5 application on it. Does anyone have one, or can make one for me? It doesn't matter what OS stub is on there, but system 7.x probably does fine. It must be bootable on an SE/30. :)

Is this normal? My SE/30 is recapped and everything looks good.. Even the PSU is recapped. I get noisy scanlines that runs downwards when there's heavy motor activity (hard drive/floppy drive head moving). The aspect ratio of the screen is stable, it doesn't change. It's just a scanline...

I tried to reinstall the driver map (the thing before the main partition) on my SE/30's original HDD using Apple HD SC Setup, and somehow it failed. I tried to restart the system, but now I get a 0000000F 00000003 sad mac whenever it tries to boot from the HDD. My guess is that the driver/boot...

Hi ya'll, Lately the CRT on my SE/30 has been acting weird when it comes to the vertical deflection, after a lot of investigation and experimenting it turned out to be one of the old rotary resistor pots. They were full of dust, signs of tin whiskers and the metal on it had started to oxydize...

Heya, I've got a Quantum ProDrive ELS 170S, which is identical (except for 10MB size difference) to the ELS 160S that is shipped as a configuration option for the Macintosh Quadra 700. My problem is that this HDD doesn't have any Apple firmware, are there any way to hack the ROM so it'll be...
