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?

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...

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?  

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...

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...

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...

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...

Had a quick question on the last traces I have to repair on my se30.  On RP2 Pin 13 I get continuity on R41, but I do not on UD12 Pin 18.  On RP2 Pin 17 I get a beep on R42 but not on UC12 Pin 2.  Same thing with RP2 pin 18, I get a beep on R43 but nothing on UC12 pin 1.  The fact that I get a...

Just got the power supply and analog board completely recapped and was reassembling it when the darnest thing happend.  I was putting the flyback plug back on the CRT and the little teeth or hooks that connect under the suction cup just fell out on the bench.  There was a very small bit of wire...

Couldn't find a general section for this question so since it was an SE30 thought I would post here.  I have about 8 or so traces that still appear to have the protective layer on them and they do ohm out okay, but the trace is corroded looking underneath.  What is the proper way to handle...

RP2 on my SE30 has a case of the green legs on both sides and there is about 4 bad traces in that area.  Pulled up the RP12 last night to get a better idea on repairing the traces and thought I would replace the chip while I have it out.   Checking if this is the right replacement part from...

Got my first SE/30 this week and have been looking over the traces after getting the battery and caps off the board.  I have a questionable pin on UE10 that I believe is pin 10.  The schematic shows this line connecting to something off screen.  Can someone help me find a test point to check for...

I apologize in advance as I have been having more than a few issues with a newly acquired iigs. I have graphical glitches say in every 1 in 15 boots.  I have ran the IIGS diagnostics and it shows no errors.  I have a GGLABS 4MB card and an apple 1MB card and this anomaly will happen with either...

Forgive me I am not familiar with apple II troubleshooting at all.  I have a GS ROM1 that came with both a 3.5 and 5.25 drives.  When I connect both drives the 5.25 won't boot off of known good disks that work in my IIc, and it also makes the 3.5 drive get "stuck" where the drive access light...

I recently picked up a IIGS and the keyboard it came with had alps orange switches.  Well several of the keys didn't respond well (maybe about 6 keys) sprayed the switches out with deoxit and finally after several dozen pushes they started responding pretty consistantly.  However the "4" key...

I picked up a IIGS advertised as working.  As with most 25+ year items I like to recap at least the power supplies.  I never turned the unit on myself before starting the recap due to the main filter cap having a puffy top.  I got everything recapped with the lowest ESR Nichicon caps I could...

I finally got a SE Mac to go with the Centris 610 I have.  Thought it would be a nice addition with the monochrome monitor.  Reminds me of Jr. High I went to that had mac classic II's.    When I turned it on it has the ? come up and I happened to have a 6.0.8 boot disk that started the boot...

I have a centris 610 that I upgraded the Video memory but have had a very hard time getting mactest to pass the video ram tests.  After swapping modules around several times and ordering new modules, I got a pass on the long test.  The modules that seemed to make it happy were a mixture of -10...

I have a performa plus display 14" monitor connected to both a centris 610 and a performa 6112.  On both systems the screen is offset and has about 1 inch of black border on the sides.  For the life of me I can't find any screen adjustments on the monitior itself, only a roller for contrast and...

I have an apple M2943 15" multisync monitor that needs a new flyback transformer, as it makes loud zaps and pops every 3-4 seconds in between showing a great looking image.  I am no stranger to power supply repair and such, but I have never swapped out a flyback before.  However I can't find one...
