I'm sure it's possible. People have managed to cram two floppy drives and a hard drive into those cases (with a custom mounting bracket, of coarse). It all depends on the size of the hard drive and if your SE/30 can handle the extra power load.

I completely agree. My first compact mac was originally my parent's first machine, a Mac SE. My second was a Plus I picked up at the local Goodwill. My third was an SE/30, frankensteined together with parts from eBay and craigslist. Part of collecting and preserving these machines is to also...

Darn, I was just getting ready to set up a network with my SE/30, Orange iMac, and Macbook... Guess I'll have to stick to the old floppies and zip disks then. :(

Huh, how many boxes would that shipment take? Personally, I think one auction with everything ruins the fun of hunting down the desired machine...

My old Mac SE, which I just finished de-yellowing, has a sticker stain. The sticker itself was from an aftermarket computer upgrades store, and the majority of it was transparent. But the text and everything opaque on it has literally been imprinted onto the surface of the case. I initially...

Huh, I should try that. I just assumed it was something I had done wrong when upgrading to VGA. On another note, does anybody know of a mod that can create a new motherboard cover for a mystic CC? I think cutting up the cover for the LC575 to fit the CC would yield good results. Has anyone...

Is it mine? I wish it were :) I don't know why the seller never upgraded the resolution. He may have wanted to keep it stock, or never wanted to risk a soldering mishap. I do own a CC, but it's currently in shambles; everything it displays lacks the color red...

I hope this gets a good home: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250480615872&_trkparms=tab%3DWatching#ht_506wt_1101 Most notably, it has the elusive Daystar PPC card for the LC 575. Pop one of those babies in a Mystic Color Classic and you get both 33mhz 040 and 66mhz...

Yes, swapping out one of the floppy drives is really simple. Every Mac SE has an internal SCSI port on the motherboard for an internal HD, you just need a mounting bracket (heck, you could even make one yourself) and a ribbon cable. I suggest testing both of the floppy drives before you make the...

neato :) I like how this ad displayed some of the prices of other products as well. But $70 dollars (canadian that is) for a pack of 10 floppies??? That around $50 here in the US, and when inflation is calculated as well...

I can't believe somebody actually bought it... Now that would be something interesting to receive in the mail ;)

Ah, but nutty people in large numbers can do great things :)

I believe my SE/30 has a socketed CPU similar to the one in the posting. I know the processor is gold capped and such. I might take a look to verify.

Ehh... That's a tough one. A few weeks ago I saw a sealed Mac SE (opened the box, but did not rip shrinkwrap from computer) on ebay that had been sitting in some guy's closet all these years. The case was virtually flawless and it still had the yellow disk guard in the drive. In that case, I...

I can wash it more thoroughly and see what happens. I will eventually need to replace the caps on it to fix this problem. Is there anything I should be aware of before I attempt to recap it?

Well, after inspecting the analog board and re-soldering some of the components, the video still does not appear. I decided to purchase an inexpensive board on ebay as a replacement but I still want to find a solution for the broken one. Has anyone experienced this issue before?

Haha yup, that's me :) I see your point, though. I could probably apply what was suggested for my Color Classic with this Classic II.

I know its not the RAM check because the screen is not displaying anything anymore. As I mentioned earlier, by slightly shaking the computer I can get the CRT to display something. But it is usually just a faint horizontal line. I might be able to upload some photos later. BTW, I've noticed...

Will do. I'll have to look at it tomorrow, as I have recently used it and I want to avoid being shocked. The PDF suggests looking at the yoke connector and the larger capacitors. Another guide suggests similar solutions. Good thing it can run 6.0.8L, I don't think 4 megs is enough for a speedy...

I don't think replacing the motherboard caps will solve the video problem, it appears to be an analog board issue. If I move the Mac a little, the video will sometimes appear, albeit distorted and squished. I think its a cracked solder joint, but I don't know where. Other than that, the Mac...
