Finally buttoned up the SE. It will boot from a floor tools disk of 6.0.8 that came with it just fine. So at least I have that to verify it's working. I added the MacPack from archive.org to the SD card as well as the Legacy Recovery CD, couldn't remember if an SE can even boot from a CD (?)...

Had to purchase this tube as a replacement for my original. I have recapped everything but now it has this distortion on the left and right of the image. I've never used the tube prior to recapping so im assuming it's something with the tube itself. How do I fix this? Do I have to adjust the...

I recapped my SE and there is no sound. Unsure if it ever worked before I bought it. The old PSU blew some capacitors pretty bad so it may have destroyed the speaker. With a multimeter I get no resistance at all directly on the speaker terminals so it seems dead and the audio out jack is...

So I started recapping this Hitachi (I think) PSU for my SE project and as you can see there is some bad corrosion from leaky caps. I don't THINK there's any trace damage but some heavy solder mask dage in spots and just 91% iso isn't taking off all the harder black areas. I accidentally...

I'm recapping an analog board for an SE and this capacitor was provided for spot C15. Is there a proper orientation to follow? It replaced a round electrolytic capacitor and the kit is from console5. I really with they provided images of the locations for us non engineering folks haha

So just received a Mac SE and I don't know if this part was already broken or if it's something I bumped while removing the motherboard to get to the PRAM battery but it's broken none the less. Does this mean the only fix is a complete replacement CRT or is this a user replaceable part of the...

So after reading around type 11 errors occur on PowerPC machines running emulation layer for 68k code. My LCIII is a stock 68030 (overclocked to 33mhz with the resistor mod). It has a BlueSCSI V2 with 7.5.5 installed and has 32mb of RAM. I added a FPU tonight bought from this auction...

I have a LCIII with a Farallon ethermac LC PDS card. I finally fresh installed 7.5.3 and did the 7.5.5 update all using my BlueSCSI. I got the Internet working and browsing with Netscape Navigator 2.02. Open Transport 1.1 is what I believe is installed. Is there any point installing the update...

As I go through this system I'd like to replace the thermal paste if it uses it. But it seems like I saw somewhere that some G4s used thermal pads? Is there a guide for removal of the CPU card and heatsink?

So I was doing my first ever recap and using a hot air station. It is set to 360 on temp and two on the air. I had kapton tape around surrounding components and was down to just the caps at c7 and c5 and only had one lifted pad the entire time. When I got these off the board I guess I used too...

I'm using Mac OS 9.2.2 with all updates from the MacOS9Lives build on a Quicksilver G4. This same machines loads websites perfectly in OSX 10.4. In TCP/IP settings on OS9 I have configured it with the exact same settings and can't load any web pages. It will try for several seconds of searching...

I come. In the possession of a DP 800mhz G4 QS. It has the gigabit Ethernet and I have plugged two different LAN cables into it coming from my 8 port switch and the switch shows no activity at all and the Mac says the cable is unplugged. Is it normal for these to go bad? Is there something I can...

I'm needing an extension for my SD card reader. On my BlueSCSI that I can easily run out of a pizza box style case like on my LCIII. I have a Ethernet card in the PDS spot so I can't just run it out there but I'll sure with the thin ribbon cable I can make enough clearance somewhere. Problem is...

Guy I'm excited because I just purchased a LC III! But I of course would like to replace the internal SCSI drive so that it's reliable and easier to get files and software onto. But I've been out of the game for a while and there are so many devices out now! I had a SCSI2SD back in the day and...

I just purchased an LCiii on eBay. The pics don't have a pic of the back I/O ports but I can see this card installed. It's the only image of it and the most important side can't be seen. Anyone know what it is? Hopefully something good and not just Ethernet although I wouldn't complain lol...

Not sure this is the right forum so feel free to move it mods. I'm trying to decide on a vintage Mac to purchase. The more I think I have found my match the more I seem to run into limitations or extra costs that makes it seem not practical. I currently own multiple DOS/Windows PCs that I game...

Hey guys, I have a Performa 466 and am trying to lay Leisure Suit Larry 6 Cd version downloaded from Macintosh Garden. I have System 7.5.3 installed with 36MB RAM and a 512K VRAM stick installed. This is a fresh install and I have installed Quick Time 2.5. I have OMS 2.3.3 Lite installed and...

So, I have my SC-88VL properly setup and configured it seems OMS test mode plays midi directly to it through the mini macman interface with no issues. But any time I start the floppy version of the game that I got from Macintosh Garden (I think v 1.2), it only plays the quick time music where I...

Hey guys. I installed six 256k 80ns 670-0269 VRAM sims in the Quadra 700. Hooked up to a Macintosh Color Display M1212 which specs say supports up to 16.7 mil colors I still only see 256 colors as the highest option. I should now have the full 2MB right? Is there a method in OS 8.1 to see the...

Hey Guys, Have a Quadra 700 with 68MB RAM, 2MB VRAM, and also have an available PowerPC 601 PDS Card. I have a Performa 466 with the 68030 and 32MB RAM to play games that require a 68030 or below and I want to use the Quadra for the more demanding 68K games. Will adding a NuBus video card...
