Those are some epic builds! What is this blinking RAM? The Google isn't doing much for me on that one.

I have tried a generic LED backlight module from eBay to replace a degraded CCFL module in an old NEC display panel. The LED strip can be trimmed to the length to suit the panel. Electrically it worked fine and was much brighter than the CCFL. The problem I had was getting the LED strip to stay...

You're not going to get HTTPS to work on a mac of that vintage; the processing power required to handle the encryption is simply too high, and there is no browser that would facilitate it. But, you can use a web rendering proxy which runs on another server, which will transcode HTTPS pages to...

I might give that a go on a spare drive to see if that's what going on, thanks!

I've been doing the same. I was receiving errors after doing memory tests, which I wasn't sure were due to bad memory or if the commands I'd issued were wrong. I've now had some luck, by way of downloading the developer notes for this computer. The document gives addresses for the on board RAM...

I have an LCIII which as running perfectly for months but crashed while trying to load ClassiCube 68k and has not booted since. A full recap had been done, C22 polarity fixed and it was overclocked to 33mhz. The error message when it crashed was a bomb with type 10 error code. It now plays the...

I'd be up for one - international to Australia.

A few years back I picked up a quicksilver G4 tower, which to me is the nicest looking of the G4 towers. Later I purchased a G5 that came with a polycarbonate LCD studio display, just to pair the display up with the G4. Well there has long been another display on my mind for this mac, the last...

Happy days, I managed to get the SCSI2SD v5 to boot the Mac Plus by using the SE/30 running 7.5.5 to format it and install System 6. I can easily transfer files between the Mac Plus and SE/30 now using the SCSI2SD like a USB key and just swapping it between them. The SE/30 has an Ethernet card...

This would be handy if I can get it to work. Will try some of the above options and see how I go later today.

Hey Steve, thanks for the great write up and resources on your site! I've used Basilisk when building a disk image for the SE/30, it works well. I wanted to see if it's feasible to load files to the SCSI2SD using other macs, since they all have network access and I can download direct from...

I will give HD SC Setup a shot on the SE/30. I don't have a long enough serial cable yet, just the short one that came with my Asante Ethernet bridge. I'm ordering one but it will be after xmas before I get it.

I'm in the process of setting up a new to me Mac Plus for regular use. I have an external SCSI2SD v5, which I've set up according to the instructions for System 6.0.8 at savagetaylor.com. The machine booted fine with the basic 2GB image. I am hoping to use AppleTalk with my Asante Ethernet...

I'm not game to try to remove the front panel from my 575, but I found an auction for a bezel on eBay that shows the back of a 580 bezel reasonably clearly: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285823959784?

I'll take a look tomorrow when I'm back in the lab
