    Why would you use Mac OS 6.0.5?

    If I remember correctly you also need 6.0.7 or 6.0.8 if you want to use TrueType Fonts.

    SE/30 AppleCD SC Plus and External Speakers

    Very nice. I'd recommend looking into a better keyboard. Either the M0116 or AEK I/II is much nicer than the Apple Keyboard II.

    PB160 screen recap failure. Any suggestions?

    I ran into a similar issue after recapping the LCD of my PowerBook 165. The top half of the screen kept going black. I assume that too much cap goo got on the ribbons and did some damage to the drivers. The solution was to get a busted 160 and recap its screen.

    Newby questions for stock SE30

    I'd recommend a PiSCSI to get your SE/30 online. It can also replace your hard drive and can do some other neat tricks.

    SCSI DB25 (male) to DB25 (male)

    You want a cable that is wired 1:1. These can be found on amazon. A DB25 gender changer also works.

    Classic II – won't start after cleaning

    Did you just recap the logic board? On these machines usually the analog board also needs work.

    SE/30 HDD LED - Red or Yellow?

    As far as I know the earlier SEs came with red LEDs, while SE FDHDs and SE/30s usually came with amber LEDs.

    Mac SE - Single Pixel Thick Verticle Jail-lines

    Did you set the jumper or clip the resistor after upgrading the RAM? Does the issue persist when going back to the original RAM?

    PB 165 clock madness

    My 165 also does this since the PRAM battery is flat. I could order a new one and replace it. One observation I made... I cannot set the correct time in System 7.5, but I can in System 7.1. Once I've set the time in 7.1 the RTC works correctly, even after multiple reboots and booting back to...

    Oh no, my RaSCSI suddenly stopped working

    Great to hear you could fix your RaSCSI. I did a lot of measuring according to the troubleshooting guide and found out that the SCSI data lines do not drive low, they always stay high, everything else seemed OK. Due to shipping cost at Mouser I just ordered a new RaSCSI kit, assembled it and...

    Found a nice Apple Extended Keyboard at a local junk shop today!

    Disassemble, soak in soapy water, scrub, dry, reassemble. Both of my AEK IIs were completely seized up and the mechanism works like new again after that treatment.

    Easily fixed by a good clean.

    Oh no, my RaSCSI suddenly stopped working

    Jumper leads arrived and I assembled a loopback cable as described in the troubleshooting guide: The result of the loopback test is: pi@RaSCSI:~/RASCSI/python/loopback_test $ python3 test.py Error: GPIO D0 should drive ACK low, but did not Error: GPIO D1 should drive SEL low, but did not...

    Thanks, will do. I ordered a set of jumper leads which should arrive some time this week.

    SE/30 White Screen

    First, you are very lucky that the PRAM battery has not exploded. Remove or replace it immediately. Then, just as every other SE/30 logic board this one will need some work. These capacitors look original and they already have leaked all over the logic board. Notice how the pins of UA8 to UG8...

    Oh no, my RaSCSI suddenly stopped working

    So... I carefully resoldered the bus transceivers and nothing changed. I also tried to disable termination on the RaSCSI and daisy-chained it with an external HDD to yet another Mac. It booted and SCSIProbe showed "no data" for the RaSCSI while the internal and the external drive worked fine...

    Oh no, my RaSCSI suddenly stopped working

    Hello together, unfortunately my favorite vintage mac gadget stopped working yesterday. The Pi seems fine as I can access it with the web browser, ftp or ssh, but three different Macs no longer regognize the attached SCSI devices through RaSCSI while other devices (I tried a BlueSCSI and a Zip...
