Thanks for the link, I completely lost https://bluescsi.onegeekarmy.eu

Yepp, already tried it, several times...

Is anyone in contact with the blueSCSI creator? I'm interested in a little mass production to sell in Europe but I can't reach him.

On the auction they write it's original Molykote, on the stickers is M-kote 😄 Another red alert....these type of grease has an expiration date, which is completely omitted on the plastic containers.

Dow Corning EM-30L is the perfect grease for a lot of application, I used it a lot of times on cd players mechanism and other stuff. The funny thing is that the minimum format for that grease is a 100ml tube ; hebuy and other marketplaces are full of people who sell this product (well...not...

Oww this looks like a thread with a good advice. I need to check the C3 cap of mine.....

@LaPorta You are right ahahahaha

All I have found until now is : PN 661-0795 Apple DDS-DC 4mm, 2 GB SCSI Tape Drive

Another question for you all...I'm searching a DAT backup unit (internal) for my 840. Someone know the model/brand that apple used at that time ? Thanks for your patience!

Mine has one. https://wiki.preterhuman.net/Macintosh_1.4MB_Manual_Inject_Floppy_Disk_Drive

Many thanks, I also found in the same document the exploded view of the chassis; there were two different types of front bezel for the cd player, one with and one w/out caddy.

hey all 🤘 I was lucky enough to find a Quadra 840av during 2019. I already organized a full recap; when opened the mac, I found inside that the cdrom drive is a AppleCD 300 Plus unit. I always saw (phisically or on various vintage ads) that the 840AV has the Apple cd with the gray caddy to...

The cable looks like mine for an Apple Imagewriter. The adapter....it's the same shape of the cables used for the Digidesign interfaces (888 as example) but I never saw that in a system.

In the case of my case (ha!) the serial is the old SE one; they put the se/30 back sticker on the old SE sticker (one day I'll try to take it out with an hairdryer) and they changed the front. (mg man? I'm a FIAT124Spider man! We have the same passion, just more rust on my side 🥲 )
