So, I really screwed up. Sometime in early December I used my IIc and when I was done I turned it off, and then didn’t look at it or go anywhere near it until a couple days ago, when I noticed I forgot to turn the monitor off. Ugh. It sat there cooking away for over a month. It worked perfectly...

I have been using my ROM 255 IIc with ProTerm 3.1 and a WiModem232 to connect to BBSes for a while now with no problems. Yesterday I upgraded it to ROM 4x so I could connect a SmartPort hard drive to play Nox Archaist. Now when I disconnect from a BBS, the computer freezes up until I toggle...

I am having a weird problem with my SE/30 and an Asante ethernet card... I know the ethernet card works, as I it was working in the SE/30 I pulled it from (the SCSI chip failed on that one, and I don't have the skills to replace it). When I put it in my other SE/30, I the normal chord and a...

I have the previous model of the floppyemu. I absolutely love that thing except for the damn screen. It has given me trouble since day one where it goes blank after it has been running for a while or it is blank when it starts up . I have to fiddle with how the screen is seated or reset it a...

I recently picked up a GSS Technologies Ultradrive 80 external SCSI hard drive to use with my compact Macs. I've never used an external SCSI HD before. The HD in the enclosure made horrible noises the first couple times I powered it up, then it finally spun up. After a bunch of tries I got it to...

I can’t figure this one out.  I have a socketed SE/30 with a daystar powercache 40mhz accelerator in it that suddenly stopped finding the hard drive. There is nothing wrong with the drive as it works fine in my other (unsocketed) SE/30, and it won’t find my scsi2sd when I tried that. It boots...

I have been playing around with my new SE/30 with a Daystar SE/30 Powercache for the socketed motherboard, and I have a few questions about what is needed to run it. I have OS 7.5.5 on my computer, and I installed the Daystar Power Central v1.3 control panel, which is the only one I could find...

I picked up an SE/30 with keyboard and mouse off kijiji today. The seller was a young guy, and wanted CAN$140 for the thing. The ad said it was upgraded with a 2GB and worked great. I noticed it had an Ethernet card and looked clean and in nice shape, so I decided to check it out. The guy said...

Anyone have any experience with the SDFloppy II? http://a2heaven.com/webshop/index.php?rt=product/product&path=73&product_id=124 I have one of BMOW's Floppy Emus for my macs which I like a lot, but I was thinking of getting one of these to use as a dedicated floppy emulator for my IIc.

I recently picked up a PB Wallstreet II (System 9.2.2) to use as a bridge computer with my SE/30, SE, and Classic II (all System 7.0.1). When I hook up the PB to my AppleTalk network, the PB can see and mount the compact macs with no problems. I can move files back and forth from the PB, access...

I recently picked up an almost mint PB Wallstreet PDQ running System 9.2 to use as a bridge computer with my SE/30, SE, and Classic II. It works perfectly except for dead PRAM and main batteries. I have a bunch of old WiFi PCMCIA cards around the house, including a Cisco 350, so I hope to find...

As a solution to not being able to use my floppyemu in HD20 mode to transfer large files and whatnot from my modern PC to my SE/30, I picked up a bunch of PhoneNet AppleTalk adaptors and networked my SE/30, SE, and Classic II together. I connected the floppyemu to the SE, and it works great! Now...

Ugh.I'm having a major brain fart. At some point in the last year, I changed the hard drive icon on my SE/30 (System 7.1, update 3) and now I can't remember how I did it. It may have been when I set up my SCSI2SD. Anyone know how to do this? I farted around on the thing for well over an hour...

I was hoping to be able to use my SE/30 as a stepping stone to get software for my Apple IIc, but I seem to have run into a compatibility problem. I'm using DS/DD 3.5" disks, but 800 kb disks formatted on the Unidisk 3.5 attached to my IIc are not recoginsed by the SE/30 and vice versa. Does...

I picked up an Apple IIc this week with a monitor, external 3.25 floppy, mouse, a fist-full of disks, and all the original paperwork, as the price was too good to pass up on.  Up to now my only experience with Apple computers are Macintosh and newer, so there is a bit of a learning curve with...

So, anyone have an idea on what is going on here: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/261910330019?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Is this a modification or a weird factory special? I was just wondering the other day if it would be possible to convert one of my compact macs...

Well, my new SCSI2SD arrived today (the new small board), and I have spent the entire evening trying to get it to work with either my SE/30 or Classic II.  At first, neither machine would even recognize it was there until I updated the firmware.  Now, while they can see it, HD SC Setup won't...

So, I upgraded the ram in my recently acquired SE/30 to 32 mb . . . and it is only reporting 28 mb.  I take it the likely cause is a bad SIMM, but I don't have another 4 mb SIMM to swap out and test it.  Are there any utilities I could use to test this? Is anything else likely to be the cause...

I just picked up an SE/30 and it came with a mystery expansion card . . . it is marked with MoDAM SE030 Rev C  1989 Memory Plus, and has a DB 9 port.  Anyone have an idea what this thing might be? Is it useful?  Does it need drivers? Unfortunately, the SE/30 has a dead hard drive, so there are...
