So I got an Ethernet card for my Mac SE. A properly cheap Ethernet card - £20 all in - which looks to be in good condition. It's an Asante Maccon, which is the same family of card as I have in my SE/30. But why so cheap? Erm - because it's missing a key part. There's no daughterboard. The...

Nice - I'll give it a go once I have a keyboard for it. I'm thinking a brand new ZXRenew dead flesh case, because that's the one that my friends had, that I coveted, and that my dad wouldn't get for me!

Well, it was a lot of fun to build - now I just need to get a nice case for it, and a keyboard. Particularly a Keyboard!

I'll tell you how I get on with it - and what case might turn up to use with it!

Every year, my wife and I make advent calendars for the children and for ourselves. The kids are getting more interested in code and electronics, so they got advent calendars from The PiHut. My wife is really crafty, so I made her a calendar containing calligraphy nibs, sealing kits, inks and...

Yeah, I love my SE. I don't bother with System 7 on it (although I remember my dad giving me a shrink-wrapped System 7 box on the day it was released, and the sinking feeling of oh balls - now I need to get a memory upgrade! Then there was the trepidation of dismantling it for the first (of now...

Apologies for bumping an old thread - but does anyone know what (modern) monitor I can use with a Radius DirectColor card? I have a Fujitsu panel which displays enough to be readable (but grumbles that the frequency is wrong) - but only does so briefly before shutting down.

And your website suggestion was perfect - thank you. There's a driver there - so if the full install of System 7 won't support it, I'll give that a bash. Thanks again.

Is that always true though? If the card conforms exactly to Apple's specification, then it should work without a driver. For example, the Asante card in my SE/30 doesn't need a driver - it just works. On the other hand, the Farralon card in my LC does need a driver.

I have a Racal Interlan Nubus Ethernet card - but no drivers for it. Does anyone have any experience of these cards? Do they even need a driver? I can't test right now, because my IIci is in need of a re-cap.

I haven’t tried it myself, because I have no need to, but could this be the tool you are looking for? (Serial Mouse Driver) It seems you can use a serial mouse with your Mac!

Owner of more Macs than I care to think about. Proud owner of a fleet of bicycles (personal record distance - 325miles in one day). Adventure sportsman and retro enthusiast. You kind of have to feel sorry for my poor wife!

Thank you - that's brilliant. I still can't see where to buy the matching part, but no matter. I'll find something compatible I hope. And thank you for your work for the community. I have my floppy emulator next to me right now - and it's a brilliant piece of kit.

I'll whip the logic board off when I get a moment, and get a shot of the underside.

The popped oscillator is bottom right in the image, next to the power connector.

Sorry to bump - but I think I may have found a clue. I was messing with an IBM DSAS-3360 drive which was displaying the same symptoms as the ST15230N - Phase Error. When I popped a jumper on to disable TI Negotiation, it all burst into life. Which makes me wonder - can I do the same on the...

Thank you for this advice. I'll give it a go.

I'm a menace and an idiot. I'm sorry, but it's true. I have a hard drive, from the early nineties, that was used in a store demo Mac in the UK (back then they were called Apple Centres). It worked, I moved it into another Mac, I used the wrong screw, and I popped the oscillator on the...
