every 5xxx/6xxx board can go up to 800x600 on the VGA mode and up to 832x624 in a different mode

They do if the drive doesn't trash the bus like the drive in your machine probably is

That immediately tells me that your hard drive probably went and this tells me the hard drive is probably trashing the bus. Happened in my 2000 Ruby iMac DV, fixed it by removing the dead drive and replacing it with some other hard drive

try checking continuity between the SWIM and the floppy connector. I know SE/30 schematics exist somewhere, so that should help you should any traces not have continuity

a CRT rejuvinator could work on the tube, but be careful if you do attempt it

if you google about fixing the leg, there's tutorials to fix it, I did that back when I owned an MDD with a similar monitor

Or use a MeowToast

That's a G4 Quicksilver, you cannot use that for parts in a G3 B&W, the parts are very incompatible

May I recommend looking at DeoxIt?

agreed, I've also seen a Macintosh Classic logic board that got that bad, but it was a parts machine for a Classic whose tube I necked, so I just relegated it to ewaste after neutralizing the battery acid

Old Macs like this can't use more than 2GB per disk. There are ways around it, like partitioning, but that gets fiddly quick. Plus, from the looks of it, the hard drive was already replaced with something 2GB or more

Hell yeah, if something like this can be done for any 68040 or 68030 Mac, that would be awesome

speaking of spare things, got any spare 68040s? I want a full 68040, not an LC or EC, 33MHz or higher

DaynaPORT emulation over wifi (if you use a Pi Pico W)

Or the BlueSCSI V2
