    Radius Pivot SE/30, large memory + Mode 32 - no mouse cursor

    So I installed 68 MB (4x16 and 4x1) on my SE/30 with the Radius Pivot 4bit grayscale and now I loose the mouse cursor movement (click still possible), if enable 32 bit RAM access in the Mode 32 extension. Without the 2nd display connected everything works fine. The machine works also fine, if I...

    SE/30, noise from speaker synchronous to HDD activity

    My SE/30 with a recapped logic board makes noise through the speakers, whenever the hard drive is active. It is a kind of scraping and it is loudest right after startup. It disappears after some minutes and might be gone for days. When I do not use the Mac for a couple of weeks, it comes back...

    External FDHD Superdrive thinks disks are write protected

    I just bought this external Apple FDHD superdrive on ebay and find, that it thinks, that all floppies are write protected, even when they are not.

You stare on the happy Mac and wonder, if the machine just freezed. And I know, that custom ROMs like from bigmessowires can have this...

    MAC SE/30 with orange colored CRT

    A while ago I had an SE/30 with an orange colored CRT. I could not find anything about this on the internet and finally was so annoyed with it, that I sold it on ebay. The wrong color seemed to be the property of the tube itself, the “error” could easily be fixed by swapping only the CRT with...

    MAC SE/30: 68 pin UW 160 SCSI drive on internal scsi bus

    I have been working on this for quite some time, googled a lot and finally succeeded, so I thought I share my findings. Since the old 50 pin SCSI drives are getting scarce and ebay is full of affordable UW server drives (of ridiculously huge sizes for an old SE/30) I experimented with these and...
