    Recapped SE/30 - only the mouse pointer appears

    Hello everyone, I was lucky to get another non working SE/30 with pattern screen and ethernet card in it. The seller allowed me to open the case to inspect the LB before purchase. Battery has not leaked, the LB was very dirty (first two pics) with some green stuff on one of the sound chip...

    Colour Classic - identifying resistor

    Hello, I got a Colour Classic with working logic board (no battery damage, I replaced the caps, it chimes when you hit the power button) but the screen won't torn on. I replaced all capacitors on analog board too, and found a toasted resistor "RF19". Bomarc schematic doesn't include schematics...

    SE/30 PDS 040 accelerator - software

    I was able to get a few rare early 90s Apple Macintosh cards for a reasonable price I think. One of that cards is this Total Systems Magellan 040 accelerator with a 68040 CPU, clocked at 25MHz. @joethezombie posted a thread about two years ago here...

    Macintosh Classic II - screen adjustments

    Hello, could some let me know how to adjust my Classic II screen? It should rotate a little bit counter clockwise. I think this should be done by the plastic rings on the backside of the CRT, but I don't want to break something. Is there a manual / description to adjust the screen? Cut-off...

    Classic II - Logicboard Rev. B troubleshooting

    Hello, I recapped a rev. B Classic II LB (820-0326-B) some time ago, not my best recap job because this was one of my first board I‘ve done (solderpad C5 + is broken, made a line to R21). No battery leackage, board looks great, but it won‘t work. No chime, no screen, nothing. The Classic II...

    Sonnet Encore ZIF G4 CPU Upgrade - G3 B&W jumper setting

    Hello, could someone let me know how to set the jumper for a Sonnet Encore ZIF G4 1Ghz CPU in a G3 B&W? I pulled the jumper and these little metal brackets fall out of the jumper block. Unfortunately there is no reference in the Sonnet documentation, it is only mentioned that a jumper is...

    Macintosh ROM, 64-pin SIMM

    Hello, I´ve a question about the 64pin ROM SIMM which Apple used in the IIx, IIfx, IIsi, IIcx, IIci and SE/30. Are they interchangeable on these models (even if they have different ROM sizes and some of them are 32-bit clean)? There are ROM SIMMs with different part no. (eg. 341-0655A...
