the se/30 I have recently purchased has a net card, the etherport SE/30. The card is correctly recognized by MacEnvy. I have installed the only drivers I have found (Shiva Kinetiks Novell) that should work with this card. The system is OS 7.5.3 To connect the SE/30 via Ethernet I've...

If I well understand the IIsi and SE/30 share the same PDS connector. The SE/30 need vertical cards. Now I saw that on eBay it's possible to find some kind of adapter (the posts refers to a SE/30 hack thread here on 68KMLA forum about a hack) that should permit to mount horizontal cards...

As many of you already suggested, I've removed the internal battery from my SE/30, in order to prevent future damages. What is really annoying now is that every time I power up the Macintosh, I have to re insert a lot of settings, for example mouse speed, sound volumes etc. Is there any way to...

On my second SE/30 I've noticed that sometimes the screen seems "wobbling" if I give a little bump with the hand on the side of case. Actually this problem almost disappear after a while. I guess if this could be a symptom of something more serious.

I've recently purchased another SE/30 (with network card this time) and I would like to "move" the original 40mb HDD to the SCSI2SD card. Now it seems quite hard to find a proper 50pin 3connectors SCSI ribbon that would have allowed to install both the mechanical HDD and the SCSI2SD card. So my...

I've finally opened my MAC SE/30 (btw there's no evidence of capacitors leaking, but still very low volume from the internal speaker... I've removed the battery anyway). I've installed a brand new SCSI2SD peripheral with a 4gb sd card inside. Actually I've tried to connect it to my macbook pro...

So, the se/30 is working fine now (I still have to recap the motherboard and change the hdd with a scsi2sd, but I will do it in the next days). I've got 4mb flying to me somewhere between here (Rome) and US and finally floppy emu works. I've loaded a couple of games (of course) and installed in...

I've got a macintosh keyboard with few unresponsive keys. I've totally dismantled it to clean it, I've even cleaned the microswitch but nothing has changed. Since all the keys are near and in the left side of the keyboard (see attached file, the red keys) I guess if it could be a problem with...

could it be (theoretically ) possible to "mix" the case of two different "compact" mac, let's say attach the front bezel of a Classic to a Macintosh SE/30 ?

I would like to change some keys position in an Apple Keyboard II M0487.  It simply a matter to pull them or do I need to open the keyboard? Are they glued (don't think so, but...) ?

Why the SE/30 has only two colours? At that time a "real" monochrome screen (like a tv screen) was so expensive?

Do you know where I can find a capacitors kit (I mean every capacitors for the SE/30 all at once)?  Is this a good shopping list (from another thread here, not sure if is the "definitive" list)? : 10x 47µF (16V) - C1, C3, C4, C5, C7, C8, C9, C10, C12, C13 1x 1µF (50V) - C6 Replace with Axial...

Although the case is in overall good state, I would like to clean it a little bit.  It has some yellowing, but I don't dare to completely dismantle (mainly the front case) in order to do a retrobright session... maybe this summer... not sure yet. Meanwhile is there something I can do to clean...

Could it be theoretically possible to put a Macintosh Color Classic into a Macintosh Classic case? I've seen a lot of monstrosity on the web: macintosh plus stuffed with mac mini or other mini atx motherboard, or macintosh classic transformed into iPad dock and so on. Now, I really hate the...

I was looking for a RAM upgrade for my Mac SE/30 (it has 4mb now). Since the RAM is relatively cheap, I guess if I should get 4x1mb or try to get something more. I know that SE/30 normally recognise only 8mb of RAM unless it has a modified ROM or the 32bit software patch.  The question is: if I...

I was looking at the monitor of my new (and first) SE/30. Actually the screen looks smaller than what I believed, so I had a look around to other SE/30 pictures on internet. And actually let's compare these two images: The first one is an image I've found on internet. The screen seems large...

Finally I have a (new) Macintosh SE/30. The machine is really in good conditions. As already stated in another thread I should definitely (and quickly) find a way to recap the board and change the battery. The problem is that I'm in Italy and it's not very easy find someone here that will do...

Please be patient! I'm new within this retrocompunting universe. I am a Mac User since 15 years but I've always desired one of those old compact Mac. Finally I purchase a SE/30 from eBay few weeks ago. The seller claimed in "good condition and working 6.1.5 (?). When the Mac finally arrived...

I've just received an old Powerbook 170, it was working last time someone used it (I guess 10 or more years ago). But now it doesn't boot. When I do switch it on (with or without battery) nothing happens. I've just plugged the earphone and I can clearly hear the start up sound, but nothing more...
