Good Morning All, I have completed the upgrades to my SE/30 and I thought I'd share my experience.  I replaced the system HD with a 16 GB SCSI2SD divided into 5 partitions.  The first one I kept down to 2 GBs for compatibility, three more sized at 4 GBs, and the final leftover is 718 MBs.  The...

Hello everyone.  I got my SE/30 up and running yesterday.  I brought it out of storage last week to replace the dirty ROM with a clean one from bigmessowires but the CRT display would blink on and off.  I left it on for a while and it eventually stopped that, but it tried to boot but hung.  Then...

Hi All, as promised I've been working on speeding up my LC475.  I have two motherboards but one case.  I found the documents online for speeding up an LC475 to 33 or even 40 MHz.  So I ordered the switches, wires, resistors, heat shrink, etc., to add the mod.  I had already purchased a couple of...

Okay, I'm officially pissed.  I thought what I had done was fine but now I appear to have screwed myself so I need some help.  Here's what's going on. I replaced the System drive in my LC475 with an SCSI22SD version 5B and a 32GB SD card.  Of course I know I would have to partition the card and...

Good Evening all.  Since I have an SCSI2SD with 32GBs of storage on my LC475 to run OS 7.5.5 (with 136 MBs of RAM), I got rambunctious and decided to install OS 8.1 on a new miniSD card and remove the Apple IIe card and put in a Farallon LC ethernet card.  The installation went perfectly and the...

Good Afternoon everyone.  I have finished upgrading my slot loading iMac G3 DV with a 500 MHz G3, 1 GB of RAM and a 64 GB SD based IDE system drive running 9.2.2.  I have Netscape Communicator 4.77 which chokes on just about any website I go to.  I ran into Classilla 9.3.3 and it works a lot...

This is an informational post for anyone thinking about this.  I bought a used slot loading iMac G3 and added RAM to bring it up to 1 Gigabyte and the OS to 9.2.2.  I purchased an IDE I/F card for using an SD memory card instead of a spinning drive.  The original drive was a Maxtor 30 GB HD that...

Okay, my second post for today.  This question is straight forward.  I've installed 7.5.5 on my LC475 which has 135,168K of RAM according to About this Macintosh.  The OS uses 131,268K and when I try to open a PDF, there's not enough RAM to display it.  What's going on and how do I put 7.5.5 on...

Good morning to everyone.  I hope your having a great day.  I'm new here and so I'll give you a little background.  I like to tinker with old Macs and PCs and right now my focus is on old Apple computers.  I own two fully functional Apple IIGSes that have Utheret cards so I can FTP over to my...

To All: Hi, I'm Gerry.  I'm new here because I come from the Apple II world.  I belong (for some 30 years) to the still active OAC (Original Apple Corps) Users Group here in Santa Monica Ca.  With much of the group we discuss Macs since that's what people want help with but we also talk about...
