The one Mac in particular that I enjoy running at stock speed is the SE/30. Maintaining one running reliably is sufficient enough of a challenge.

New visitor. A parts dual 867.

The case design is actually quite logical and well engineered but it’s crazy just how much they’ve hacked this case design about to beef up airflow. I think someone must’ve been panicking about the amount of heat the 7455s put out.

My SE/30 sometimes makes this Sad Mac tone (in this case due to a poorly seated SIMM) – it's not often heard and the first half sounds a bit like a Game Boy. I wonder what it means and what fault causes it to play that specific tone.

Successfully moved a 466Mhz 7400 CPU onto a G3 CPU card - harvested from a Digital Audio card that I obtained for peanuts. The cache chips are rated at 250MHz, so I guess this thing will easily do 500MHz.

The old 750L will go onto an iMac trayloader CPU card.

Does anyone else think OPTi 'Firelink' is misleading and just a bit off? I mean, it implies it could be a Firewire chip.

Got some OPTi chips for future Personality card mods. The plastic wrap on these Chinese imports always smells of citrus.

I bodged a dedicated reference crystal onto my Beige G3’s ATI chip, which means I can play around with the main reference crystal without losing onboard video.
