From what I can see, it requires appearance manager and 7.5.3 at least. My 68K mac needs to stay on 7.1 due to accelerator drivers.  Was looking at getting a palm pilot until I read about Palm Desktop requirements.

Are there any PDA's or Palmtops (excluding the Apple Newton) that can connect via serial to a 68K macintosh? Trying to get a companion and organizer for my retro projects, that I can use when I'm way from the SE. The idea is to syncronize documents between it and the SE itself.

If anyone else is wondering what's causing this, I managed to solve it. While browsing through the forums, I saw quite a few old topics about the issue with no resolution. Well, the solution is: Connectix Compact Virtual does not work well with anything above System 7.1. I have a few SD cards...

I have an SE equipped with a Total Systems Mercury 16 MHz upgrade card and an memory expansion. The SE has 4 MB of ram on the main board and 4 extra megabytes of ram on the RAM expansion board that plugs into the mercury. In Gemstart 3.0, pressing on "Accelerator Info" it reads the 4 MB of...

After spending the entire day checking traces, scsi cables, ram sticks and a lot of other crap I've ended up at the conclusion that the File System got corrupted somehow, on both the SD card and the HDD. Not sure if it's related to the accelerator or the drive but I'm going to play it safe for a...

And I found the issue. A cap seems to have broken off from under the SIMM modules. @Dog Cow was basically right about a problem with loading it into ram. Going to have to send it in for cleaning and a recap. If anyone knows someone in Europe that handles things like this do let me know (I've...

A few hours after installing 7.1 and setting up everything I ran into another issue. I had a crash in Falcon F16 which asked me to restart the Mac. Now the SE is stuck on a Happy Mac and won't boot from HDD. The HDD indicator led is active and a few seconds after the happy mac appears it dies...

Confirmed that the SCSI2SD died. I dd'ed the image on the SDCard and the SDCard is okay. Booted up the image in basilisk II. So the SCSI2SD for some reason got fried or refuses to read that SD card or any other. No idea how to proceed. For now, I plugged in the 200MB HDD and I'm installing...

After booting it with an external SCSI2SD I noticed that it didn't recognize the internal one. So for tests, I've added the original Hard Drive I had with the machine (a new old stock one of about 200 MB but still) and it booted System 6.0.8 from it! So I think that my internal SCSI2SD is dead?

Hi everyone, Yesterday I've installed a Total Systems Mercury accelerator in my Macintosh SE. Been playing and working on it on and off through the entire day yesterday without any issues and went through a couple of power cycles. Worked without any issues. Today I've booted up the Mac and it...

I followed @Realitystorm's tutorial and I rely on an external scsi2sd to transfer files back and forth into basilisk. I clone my main partition, mount into basilisk II (works fine on my Catalina-powered iMac Pro), add the software I need and then DD it to the sdcard. Hasn't failed me once...
