The hakko is a good choice. Just what I have used for years.

Perhaps the drive cannot vary its rotational speed. Only thing I can think of. I’d love that capability. I have a SuperDisk that I got brand new with my iMac in 98. Just sits in its box waiting for a use…

Hot damn…that doesn’t even include the logic board!

How do you use the SuperDrive? I didn’t know the AppleSauce could accept USB input?

Sorry I neglected to list it: https://applesaucefdc.com/

You need an actual AppleSauce device with an external 800k or 1.4MB drive connected to it. They can be purchased for ~$100.

If you read in the manual (which I also have), they would send you a copy of the original if your machine did not support their new color version....if you begged them! My disks somehow became lost. I need to find a copy, too.

I’ve had alkaline AAs and the sort go bad in weeks even, agree. Never seen these do that. Everyone’s experience may vary.

Here's my thought: these machines ran for 20+ years without battery explosions. It is not like there was some massive recall in the 90s because of SEs being rendered unusable because of battery explosions. If you put a new one in there, it won't blow tomorrow. It will likely be twenty years...

LOL wouldn't that just be the case?? Yes, you could use it as a standalone with the dock.

I had a feeling. If you don’t wind up needing it, I’d pay good money for the 2300c. The one I have had since it was new has needed a new screen for over twenty years!

You'd be surprised. Show us what it looks like. Years ago, I salvaged mine: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/se-fdhd-estate-sale.33606/ https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/se-fdhd-restoration.33631/

The easy, quick and dirty method: 1. Start your machine and listen for the startup chime. 2. Press Command-control-power key to restart the machine. The memory test will be bypassed.

This happens quite often.

If you happen to not need one of the 605s, let me know, I’m interested!

It was your hard work! I did take my time on my SE that was battery bombed and was able to get it going again. Also used evaporust for the chassis which I think I passed on. Stuff works great!

Had cable since 2000. Never used anything else since. I still have my Blockbuster shirt and name tag in storage somewhere.

This is unfortunate.
