Good afternoon! So I have taken a hiatus from my vintage machines for about 1/2 a year. I decided to fire up the old machines last night in preparation for the two newest members (soon to be) of the family--a Commodore Amiga and an Atari Lynx console. When I plugged up my Performa 6360, it...

Hey guys, I have a flyback on an analog board with a cap that’s no good. The little prongs that go in the CRT have been damaged but they don’t seem to be removable. I think I have to replace the entire cap. Is it possible to replace the cap and wire? Please let me know if you can provide...

Hey guys, I recently picked up an Apple 10/100 Base T ethernet card and I popped it in my Performa 6360 in the hopes of connecting the machine to the internet. No dice. I tried in OS 7.6 and 8.1. I did FULL install of the system software for both 7.6 and 8.1 in the hopes that it would...

I have a bad flyback on the analog board for a 128k, 512k, Plus. Would a flyback pulled from a working Mac SE analog board work for this or do I need to find one specifically for the 128k/512k/Plus board?

Hey guys. My Mac Plus has started failing to boot. I get an address error. Right now I have 4MB RAM and I have a Rominator installed on the logic board. If I try to boot from the Rominator, it just gives me a floppy disk with a question mark. If I try to boot from a 6.0.8 disk on my...

Hey guys. I just picked up an eMac that won't power on. I power it on, the CRT makes some noise but nothing else happens. I'm thinking this thing needs a recap? I have never worked on an eMac. Where would you recommend I start?

Hi guys! What kind of card do I need for an ethernet connection through the COM slot? Right now there is a modem there. I don't want to dedicate a PCI slot to the ethernet card. If you have any suggestions, I would appreciate it!

Hey folks. I wanted to check in an see if anyone could help me with an issue I am having. I have a Performa 6360, running 7.6.1. It has given me lots of problems, but I thought I had gotten in to cooperate with me on most days. Something strange happened recently though. The CD drive was...

Hey guys, I need some advice. What is the most reliable and cost-effective (assuming not mutually exclusive) way to get my non-accelerated SE/30 online? I have it working quite reliably and I’m thinking of trying to use it to access BBS. Any guidance is welcome!

This may be the most frustrating computer ever. Apparently it was a demo mode, and even has all the store demo software on it. Actually pretty cool. But I digress... I decided to try to modify the IDE drive. Its the only thing on this stupid machine that works. I wanted to see if it would...

Hey guys, I decided to wave the white flag and ask for help with this Performa 6360 that I recently picked up on Fleabay (I know, I know, I'm regretting it) So the computer chimes when I power it on and the HDD works fine. However, the floppy and CD player were unresponsive. When I tried to...

Hey guys, Trying to get my SE/30 to talk to my old MIDI keyboard. I tried using my old Passport MIDI interface. IT works with Mac and my IIGS, but it's old and I sure can't get the SE/30 to recognize it. I don't have any software to go with it. Can someone recommend an interface the would...

Hey guys. I am trying to get OS 7.6 on my SE/30 following the installation of my Rominator II. I am using the instructions found here from the nice folks at BMOW. https://www.bigmessowires.com/mac-se30-with-upgraded-rom/ I am stuck on the step that says to modify a 7.0.1 Disk Tools floppy by...

Hey guys. I have a couple BlueSCSI 1.1’s that connect via db25. Both will work on the Performa 6300CD I am trying to sell. Unfortunately neither seem to work on the Performa 6360 that just arrived. They seem to have a solid blue LED and everything gets hung up at the beginning almost as...

Does anyone have a capacitor list for a Performa 6360?

Hi there! I have a performa 6300 CD, which works well with my multi sync monitor. However, on my workstation, I have a VGA compatible display. Can someone tell me what I would need to get this computer to work with the VGA display?

Does anyone have a logic board with an 68040 that will fit in a case for a Performa 600/IIvx?

Still working on my SE/30. Recap—check Install BLUESCSI bracket and drive images—check Replace stick ROM with Rominator II—check 128mb RAM, here I come!

Hi there! I want to upgrade my Performa 600. I read online that one upgrade path is to get a logic board from a Centris 650. I think I have found one, but the seller reports that one the Centris gets warm it no longer boots from the hard drive. He has replaced the HDD and SCSI cable and gets...

Hello! A friend and I just finished a recap of an SE/30. We did the analog board, logic board and PSU. Finally went to test and cap at C7 of logic board burned up and exploded. Not sure what I did wrong. I have pictures that verify that I oriented it in the right direction. There was a lot...
