Give it a spin?

Oh, I see. Considering the SE is portable, I imagine duplicating the video it has would be more useful than giving it new, more varied video output abilities for the purpose of tying it down to a second monitor. And as far as I know a way already exists for duplicating the internal video, so...

Doesn't the original card have external video? I'd absolutely pay for a device that simply gave grayscale ability to the SE/30, but if the original had color video out then I'm not sure it's feature creep. I think grayscale is the most important though, if we could just do that it'd be nice.

When I shipped a Performa 200 and it was cracked in shipping, I gave a full refund. Didn't really find it fair though - I wish I could have given more like half. I think my packing was very ample, but I'm even more careful now than I was then.

I had an SE30 that didn't work after a recap and did work after another washing. It also had a bad stick of RAM.

I also have issues getting it to start up, but I don't have a good battery, so it has issues booting with AC as well. There is a DC DC board inside with two electrolytic through hole capacitors that just might be at fault - when I have time I'll replace them and report back. @Johnnya101 has a...

Wow, you're a very curious fellow. Thanks for such a thorough investigation of this issue.

Faith in humanity not restored but less damaged :)

Yeah, you know what lengths we'd go to to salvage a Mac IIx. If it's as bad as you say then it's possible it's not worth it.

I can probably help you with this board if you need it. I just got a spare IIci from the junk shop, but I haven't had time to look at the logic board yet. I can replace caps and clean boards though, anyways.

Thats awful. Stealing mail from porches is just horrific.

I tried installing something called "Card Installer 2.3" and it had no effect. Running the program it installed resulted in a message saying that it could not find any Farallon Ethernet cards installed. If you happen to have a spare, known working card, I'd be happy to send you mine to test and...

Try as I might I'm not finding anything so far. All I've found so far is that 8.5 has built in support for it.

This is the card I have, in the machine:

Alright, thanks. I should go back and see if that place has another one, as well. I think this machine uses a Comm 1 and not Comm 2 kind of card.

Well, perhaps the card does not work. It certainly was present, and I've installed 8.5 like 3 times and 8.1 once. I don't like considering that it might not work because the card can be slightly expensive on eBay and I got this one for cheap at the junk shop which has a huge pile of assorted cards.

How do I set up networking in Mac OS 8.5? I have a rather complex set up, but it works with my Windows computer. I have a modem, connected via ethernet to a router, connected via wifi to an extender, which provides an ethernet port: The only tool I have that I know how to use to test the...

He also said it has the sad Mac chime. Do you hear the hard drive spinning? There are two caps on the internal DC DC board that need replacing, but yes there are about 10 caps on the LCD board that likely need replaced. Do you have a multimeter? Can you verify your AC adapter is outputting the...

Awesome job! The SCSI port is awesome, I have one, just need to figure out how to get power over it so I can use an SCSI2SD .
