I see someone mentioned Classic/Classic II versions which understandably would not be practical or even possible. But what about the Macintosh SE? It was always a shame that one didn't have an equivalent to this despite having a PDS slot. Perhaps maybe the CPU can't handle it but since it does...

There's two adjusters for screen brightness most compacts. (except the Classic line of Compacts where they no longer sport the front brightness knob). The external one you can interact with and one on the analog board that you have to take the back cover off to reach. If you set it too high the...

I suppose if you have the means you can try and add a sync processor and PLL. But would the motherboard even know how to change resolutions for the internal monitor? Was the internal monitor on the 5xx series all-in-ones multisync capable? If so, I would guess the mystic upgrade would at least...

I'm pretty sure the internal display was not multi-synce capable much like some of the older Mac displays at the time. The modifications made would make it run at 640x480x60hz and only that. You'd have to physically modify it again to go back.

I could be wrong, But I don't recall System 6 supporting custom folder/file/drive icons.

Seems the original poster didn't link his attachment correctly. Here's a working thumbnail link to his full image for those needing a closer look: I found that removing "sml_" from the file name of the jpg linked to in the first post, you can view the full sized image. (I'm guessing the...

I hear calendars become re-usable every 28 years or so. You could just set the year back 28 years once you hit the limit and the day/month will still be valid. :p EDIT: Took a look at my PC's calender and that appears to hold true. I looked at November 1992, and the 29th still fell on a...

Looks like the adapter you have doesn't have active termination. Even if you get the right drive it might still not work. Not sure how the newer 80pin drives handle termination. I'd imagine you may run into issues with that if your adapter doesn't do that for you.

The bridge wire looks messy, but I believe it's really the only way you can fix broken traces. That's how it's done now a days. As long as it's soldered correctly, there is little risk of it causing problems provided you aren't running the machine with the motherboard exposed to the outside...

What interface is your Etherport using? An internal PDS slot based Ethernet card will probably give you the best possible speeds on that machine.

Yep. Classic II was the only compact that had a microphone jack.(unless you count the Color Classic as a compact too, then I guess those had microphone jacks too. :p ) WIshed the SE/30 would have had one. But nope, the crippled Classic II had got it instead. :(

The SE had QuickDraw. What it lacked was Color QuickDraw which is something the SE/30 and Classic II had. The older machines lacked that. Hence why Quicktime and some games won't run on an Classic, SE or older machine. Which is too bad. Kinda hoped Wolfenstien 3D would run on my SE, but looks...

Nice! One of those things that run Windows CE. Interesting. About the only thing I've ever interacted with that had Windows CE was those inventory scanner things they had me use back when I used to work at Wal-Mart. :p

lol Well that too could cause the issue. Did you see if the screen jitters still occur? If not I guess it was the Power Supply that was acting up then.

Oh cool. I overlooked that. I will try that now. :D

There's a non PowerPC version of 7.1.2? I had initially thought it was PowerPC only. But there's a version that came out for the Quadra 630 appearently. Will it run on an SE and where would I find it? :p

Ahh I see. I could have sworn I tried using a cable between two macs. Maybe I used the wrong ports (that and/or didn't know how to setup the software at the time)... It's been well over a decade though, so no surprise my memory was faulty on that. :p

The powersupply swap could have accelerated it's demise. The old power supply might have had sagging voltage levels and once replaced and voltages brought back to spec, dying caps probably roasted at a much faster rate. Hard to tell since you didn't have that SE for very long. It could have just...

Classic II will run 7.5 just fine. Hell even the old SE and Plus will run it if you have them upgraded to 4mb of ram. But truth be told, the Classic II is a bastardised low budget model version of the SE/30 with hardware limitations that compromise it's speed. If you want a better 7.5/7.6...

Something in the analog board died. I doubt it was the powersupply since nothing changed when you replaced it. Probably needs to be recapped. I notice that once in a long while my SE will do that jittery screen thing. Usually only for a few seconds. Sometimes it would happen when I insert a...
