    Macintosh SE M5010 - Restoration

    Kept playing with Basillisk II, and finally got it working. Built a 7.5.5 image with my Windows PC. Will make a 6.0.8, and a 7.0.1 custom image too, for BlueSCSI. I kept getting a Black Screen with Basillisk II, I was trying to use the 512K IIci.ROM, switched to the 1MB Quadra 950.ROM, while...

    Or even easier than making a System 6 or 7 image, download a pre-made image: https://mega.nz/folder/8hA3AQCJ#pWUq92L70yDXlogy9lk5Dg/folder/ltAn0Y7Q 6.0.8 booted in seconds, also have 7.0.1 on that card, need to figure out how to pick which one to load.

    Currently following this video, and downloaded everything contained in it. Not sure why he refers to the ROM's as being found "in the usual places", without specifying exactly where in his notes. Reminds of the original XBOX TSOP days, where it was some gray area that couldn't be mentioned...

    Just now saw the logo is replaceable, really stoked to hear that! Do I need Bailisk II or Sheepshaver, to VM one of those infinitemac VM's?

    Thanks! I'm at https://infinitemac.org/ now, I see the Customize and Run options, but I'm using Firefox browser on a PC, and nothing happens when I click Run. Any idea what's wrong? Am I supposed to be able to download the image?

    System 7.5.5, a 2Gb image won't fully load. One of the Apps(?) having an issue. Hit continue. Will stay stuck like this, and then pressing a key tries to produce an error, but there is no text. It then repeats the reboot. Going to try making a System 6 image, the 7.5.5 2Gb image may...

    Thanks! Ordered (2) of those gears, they were put in the mail today, and they are coming from Sausalito, CA, I'm maybe an hour from there, so I should have those Monday. The Peroxide 12% cream ate the logo off, not sure what to say about that other than beware, and don't do it to yours. Put...

    Well, here's something no one ever mentioned about using peroxide in all the reading I did on this, the Apple Logo should be covered up, or it will bleach out too. I'm sure everyone else already knows this, but if you don't, don't let this happen to you, put tape over the logo, or don't use...

    I have access to a 3D printer, but the material it uses is not soft like the vinyl washers.

    Ordered (2) ebay floppy eject gears, if these aren't great, I'll try the Japan set. https://www.ebay.com/itm/234836806265 Regarding the missing floppy vinyl washer: I can't find them for sale anywhere, or anything close, the thickness is what sets it apart at 0.30mm thick, everything for sale...

    I found on another forum where someone lost one of their floppy vinyl washers too. https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/mac-se-fdhd-floppy-drive-washer.2218/ The measurements given were 3mm ID, 8mm ID. Closest I could find is (1000) M3 x 8mm x 1mm, for $10. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09K4Y3TBX...

    This looks like it's for (4) cheese gears only. Do these correctly match the tooth pitch of the surrounding stock gears? https://www.ebay.com/itm/235320197466 https://maceffects.com/products/3-pack-apple-auto-inject-floppy-gears-tune-o-gear Has anyone tried the Japan set recently?

    Where can I get (2) of these gears? Barely pulled on it and it snapped, very fragile.

    Disassembled and cleaned. The gears look to be in good condition still. Will lube and reassemble, and then do the second one.

    I ended up having the SE that doesn't have the speaker melted permanently in the case, my speaker had washers holding it in. Was able to pry the washers off without ruining anything. Should be ready to finish the peroxide tomorrow.

    Is there a special method for removing the washers that hold the speaker in?
