    Repeated keystrokes in NiftyTelnet

    I'm connecting to a BBS through NiftyTelnet 1.1 SSH r3 on my SE/30, but for some reason every keystroke is repeated in the terminal window. I type a letter and it is immediately repeated as a capital letter. I'm using system 7.1 and this is not a problem anywhere else. Does anyone know what...

    No image LC II/Performa 400

    Hi, I have a Performa 400/ LC II without image. I have recapped the logic board and the voltage from the PSU are all good. The component UJ10 CLUT DAC is right next to the display connector and it gets too hot to touch. Does anyone have experience with this problem and/or the UJ10 becoming so...

    Dimensions of threaded inserts?

    Hi, I broke off a screw in one of the threaded inserts of the screen hinge of my PowerBook 160. I need to buy some new threaded brass inserts but I’m unsure of the correct dimensions, my instruments aren’t precise enough to correctly measure it. Does anyone know for sure?

    PowerBook 160 screen mirroring?

    I have a PB 160 with screen issues that I’m trying to resolve but I recently was able to connect it to an external display. The default seems to be to extend the desktop to the external monitor with the built in screen as the main screen (with the menu). Is there any way to force the external...

    PowerBook 160 Screen issues

    I was wondering if someone might recognise what could be at fault here - the screen didn’t give a picture at all and so I recapped it and the inverter board. Now it fluctuates from almost good but with a back line in the middle (as seen in the picture) to bright and useless where one can’t see...

    Any recommendations for vendors of film capacitors 0.47uF 250V for the Macintosh Plus analog board with good shipping rates to Europe? Picture of failed components attached…

    Clicking Macintosh Plus

    I have a Macintosh Plus with a constant clicking sound when it powers on. What could this be? I’ve reflowed the solder joints of the connectors on the analog board and also on the logic board. I’ve also checked the fuse on the power cable between the boards. The analog board has not been...

    SE/30 HDD LED - Red or Yellow?

    I’m putting together an optional SE/30 between two sub-optimal units and I discovered that one has a yellow HDD LED and the other had a red one (see pic). Does anyone know which one is the earlier? Any other considerations regarding this?

    Best SE/30 revision Logic Board?

    Does anyone know of if one of these two SE/30 logic board revisions is better than the other? I’m trying to decide which one to keep. I do like the early one better with the light green PCB and the purple and gold socketed processor, it has what seems to be a factory bodge wire though, anyone...

    DaynaPort E/SI30 Coaxial to RJ45?

    I recently got hold of a DaynaPort E/SI30 card to use in my Macintosh SE/30. As seen in the picture, the coaxial side is populated but not the RJ45 side. Are there any good adapters to connect RJ45 cables for networking to the coaxial connector? I guess populating the RJ45 side of the card is...

    Fan airflow rating Quadra 700 PSU

    I recently got a Quadra 700 and I’m planning to replace the PSU fan with a silent Noctua. I found in the specifications of the original fan that it has an extraction rating of 43,86m³/h and noise 19dB. The Noctua Redux (grey) series have extraction ratings (1200 RPM, 35.8m³/h, 9.1dB; 1800 RPM...

    Upgraded 128k or 512k Macintosh?

    I have two Macintosh Plus machines with the pre-Plus front. Is there any way of knowing if these are upgraded 128k or 512k machines? The back and the logic board was of course replaced in the Plus upgrade, but was the front or the analog board any different between the 128k and the 512k?
