So the problem was that you booted the Mac SE/30 with Mac OS 7.1 to do a Mac OS 7.5.3 Install. The good thing is that Mac OS 7.1 doesn't need the ROM Hack when using an upgraded ROM. The bad thing is Mac OS 7.1 won't use a Mac OS partition larger than 2GBs which is what you want to accomplish...

On System versions before 7.5, try to avoid handling volumes that are larger than 2GiB (2,097,152KiB, 2048MiB) because HFS in these versions cannot address more than 2GiB volumes. 7.5 has support for 4GiB volumes, and 7.5.2 (which was mostly for PowerPC machines, most people won't see it)...

There should be some sort of a world wide public service announcement about these lethal batteries. *****Breaking News*******

Are you talking in your sleep again?

The “W” in SWIM = Wozniak Sander-Wozniak Integrated Machine easy mistake

Agreed.

I'm not sure how to remove it. Do you want the entire analog board? Free. Cost of shipping from 03833.

I don't want to add salt to the wound but that looks really bad. Have you even looked at the damage that the caps did to the analog board yet? The Mac Classic being prone to bad caps and exploding batteries, I would never buy one without cracking the case, showing everything inside. A Mac SE...

Would one from a Mac SE work on a Mac SE/30? If so, I may be able to help.

Agreed, typically Apple used SCSI ID 3 for internal CD ROM Drives.

I just watched on Adrian's Basement how to do this to a Macintosh Classic. That machine doesn't have expansion slots for video cards so he wired it up directly to the LB. The SE/30 does have an expansion slot for an 8bit video card but they are hard to find and can be expensive and only get you...

I bought a Classic II FPU made from a member here. I don't think he's on anymore. @moldy Actually here is the post about it. Apparently he is still on here. https://68kmla.org/bb/threads/classic-ii-fpu-card-design.38107/

The point is that you don't need any tools to remove anything except on the optional Nubus adapter or the drive sleds. Perhaps Apple expected frequent parts replacements for this model or they wanted to make assembly efficient and low cost. Of course after 30+ years parts might be a bit stuck in...

well I want gigabit Ethernet on my Mac SE. You don't need that much space on a 68k Mac anyway. Files are small, programs are small. Volume maximum limits are low. Use multiple SCSI drives or Apple Shares from Servers with large volumes to load stuff. Perhaps large ATA drives with shares from a...
