    Mac SE/30 restoration (and mild mod plans)

    It would appear so 😉 Only thing I have to do now is put the network card bracket back on and rearrange so that Bluescsi is inside. I'd also install the drivers for networking but need to find haha.

    Mac SE/30 restoration (and mild mod plans)

    Bluescsi installed and booting 8.1. Its not staying like that, I'll put it back inside. Just doing it like this for a day or so. Want to get driver's off my brother's disc image (DIIMO). Have removed network card temporarily. Have set clock and it works and keeps time . Is there any way to...

    Mac SE/30 restoration (and mild mod plans)

    True. It seems to be a very very basic 7.01 install. Booting from ROM ie no control panel items. I have a programmer on the way so it can always be changed if necessary. The point being, the machine can boot for diagnostic purposes. I don't have to send it away with my brothers hard drive...

    Mac SE/30 restoration (and mild mod plans)

    The Purple Rom I installed has a patched system 7.01 installed so it does away with the need for Mode 32 etc. Not playing with it too much now, shall be making contacts about the recap and get it packed away asap. (y) (y)

    Mac SE/30 restoration (and mild mod plans)

    Again I'm probably stinky BUT - Stock is 21.6 Pascals Noctua 21.3 Pascals I can't see 0.3 pascals being a big deal. I also cant see a 35 year old fan producing 100% performance..... Not trying to be obtuse here but I do my homework ;) The Hard drive isn't going back in. Also having them on...

    Yeah but you're right to mention, I hope it goes smoothly, but at least it can be put back to iifx if it misbehaves.

    Hi there :) Acorns ? lots - in sig :love: As for the recap, Ive no idea. I'm farming it out because I'm not brave / skilled enough, I have Cerebral Palsy AND yeah, it is too much for me. Apparently there is a Mac guy in Ireland. Will contact him and see what he offers. Tempted to go for the...

    well the machine has been running a Liberated IIfx ROM for 25 years. Doesn't have the original chip anyway. Brother upgraded for 32bit Clean and 128mb. Swapping that for Purple ROM SIMM Does exactly the same BUT ADDS: PRE-PROGRAMMED CONTENT: Modified IIsi ROM with driver. 32-bit clean ROM...

    Thanks, My Brother got it new - lived in the USA mid/late 80's. Worked for NASA too. Point taken RE fan, BUT there's noctuas that move more air than stock at the same loudness or slightly less. OR they can be run faster. Being able to connect via molex is another "bonus". silly soldering...
