    IIsi vs se/30

    Thanks for all the input on this, enjoyed reading everyones experiences and views. Every time I try to consolidate down machines I find it particularly difficult. Just need a bigger space is the best option.

    IIsi vs se/30

    I recently got a llsi and i got to thinking this system seems to do everything my se/30 does plus it has a color display. I dual boot system 6 and 7.1. Is there anything the se/30 has over the iisi that i am forgetting? Other than 128mb of ram and the cool all in one form factor?

    Mac OS 8 vs 9 for a G3 bondi blue

    Thanks for the input.  So it sounds like it is split between 8.6 and 9.2.  I may go the 8.6 route as I have a G4 iLamp that allows booting into OS 9 still and I would like to be able to cover all the different versions of OS in the collection, I just haven't had anything yet that had 8 on it so...

    Mac OS 8 vs 9 for a G3 bondi blue

    Just a quick question.  I have several macs in my collection and I have a pretty good grasp for system 6 and 7 differences, but I don't have a single mac in the collection that is running OS 8.  I have a Bondi Blue G3 which may be a good candidate that currently has OS9 installed, and wondered...

    Mac IIsi resistor value

    Thanks for the reply guys.  I don't think the resistor looks damaged other than the outer coating that is missing.  Never seen a resistor quite like that, but if it will happily work, then it won't bother me to leave it as is.  I haven't attempted to even plug this PS in yet and I don't know a...

    Mac IIsi resistor value

    Got a IIsi last week and trying to recap the PS and logic.  Of course there was goo galore in the PS.  One of the resistors between L212 and C212 is completely stripped of its color code.  Will this negatively effect the unit, and if so does anyone know the proper value?

    How do I install the apple 32-bit enabler on 7.1.1 SE/30

    Looks like maybe there was an issue before mode32 7.5.  Searching, I found several instances where new features of mode32 was that it was compatible with thread manager.  I didn't actually try mode32 on my se/30, but maybe the readme file i was looking at from the thread manager install was...

    How do I install the apple 32-bit enabler on 7.1.1 SE/30

    Hey that worked great.  Thanks so much mdeverhart for the info.  I feel silly now that it was indeed that simple.  I have a way of over complicating stuff sometimes.

    How do I install the apple 32-bit enabler on 7.1.1 SE/30

    I have 7.1.1 running on an SE/30 with 16MB of RAM.  I was going to use the MODE32 which I have used without issue before, but I need the thread manager and the readme states that it is incompatible with all versions of MODE32, so that leaves me with the apple 32 bit enabler.  I have downloaded...

    Screen corruption after recap se/30

    Well i am officially giving up for now on this board.  Was trying to have a nice clean board as my one other se30 has like 9 wires all over the motherboard for trace repairs.  Don't know what i did, this is my first time to experience making it worse after a recap in probably 50 recap projects. ...

    Screen corruption after recap se/30

    Thanks Bolle for the suggestions.  Sorry i haven't got to take a second to do more than take a few pics of the board.  I will pull the 3 by the power connector and reattach and also inspect for solder overflow.  Looks like i may have gotten a little overzealous in the solder on some of these.. ...

    Screen corruption after recap se/30

    Well i Schruted it.  I surprising had a buggy but working se/30, recapped the logic board since it was still original caps and now i get no chime and a solid screen of corruption.  I got all the old caps off with no issues with pads, and suprising the leaks looked nonexistent to minimal, but it...

    Recapping se/30 with tants, did i get the wrong ones?

    After some seaching I think it is a warning that the capacitor can crack or release steam and break while heated during soldering.  Hopefully once soldered and during normal operation the moisture won't be an issue.

    Recapping se/30 with tants, did i get the wrong ones?

    Was about to replace all the caps on a logicboard for an se30 and followed a link for the caps i needed, but i have never seen warnings like this before on tantalum capacitors.  Should i use these or does everyone think i should use solid ones instead of polymer?  I figure as much washing of...

    Simple file sharing (Mac SE/30 to Mac SE)

    I know my SE/30 had about 4 bad traces from capacitor goo that went to the printer ports.   I was looking for some kind of loopback tester hardware for the printer/modem port but didn't come up with anything.  Since then I connected up another mac and tried the file sharing between two macs and...

    Anyone run Mac System lower than 6?

    So on these later models of macs that have different memory locations that cause such issues, caused from the system ROM, CPU hardware, or the SSW version itself?

    Anyone run Mac System lower than 6?

    Thanks for the replies.  I have gotten the SE/30 (no ethernet) and my centris 610 (which has ethernet) to talk over the localtalk connection successfully to transfer items that are stored on a local FTP server.  That may be a good idea to use the SE and /30 for co-op play one day.   Of course...

    Anyone run Mac System lower than 6?

    I recently got a SE/30 and installed a SCSI2SD which I created two separate hard drives.  So I thought I would install system 6 and system 7 on each drive and just pick between them, which seems to work great.  So my Mac SE now is feeling kind of redundant.  It has system 6.0.8 on it and it got...

    800k Floppy drive question

    The limit switches at the front of the drive, make sure they don't need a spray of deoxit maybe.  I don't know for sure, but I figure one of the switches is to tell the system a disk has been inserted.  Otherwise I know all the drives I have gotten needed disassembled and relubed.   Just...

    Need help hunting the other end of a trace on a SE/30

    The culprit was UD8, pin 4 to the Glue chip, pin 77.  Everything else seems fine, as this was the only wire I had to run an now it comes up normal looking.  I even got the original 40MB Quantum drive un gooed and it appears to be working without issue for the moment.  Thanks again for all the...
