No static, nice solid screen. I’ll try swapping in a rominator II from a different machine and report back.

I have an se/30 that will chime show a gray screen but no mouse cursor. it has been recapped, and I checked all connections from the ADB chip and they are good. Any idea of where I should look next? Is there a good sequence list somewhere of the order it tries to check things during boot? Also...

Does anyone have a ez135 drive they can push the door open and take a picture of the heads? I recently bought one in unknown condition but looking inside it looks like mine only has a bottom head still, I'm not sure what happened to the top one but I cant see it in there. I'd appreciate any help.

Sounds good, just wanted to make sure there wasn't some secret way to get the disk out. its burned so i don't care if i damage it. Anyone know if the late model iMacs will boot off a firewire dvd drive?

Any tips on extracting a cd from a slot load iMac? It seems to not be able to grip the disk to eject it. or read it for that matter... But for now ill settle for not having the disk in there.

that is sadly the fate of every one of those rubberized coatings that were so popular on electronics.

Looking to add a Newton to my collection. What are the must have accessories for using this with a mac, or just in general? Also which model should I even be looking in to? Are there any traps that are just totally not worth it?

Single strands off of a piece of stranded wire. Those are all pretty minor, you could probably get away with some careful solder bridging. Also traces not threads.

does anyone have a picture of the cables that are supposed to go with also by chance? the adb and headphone / mic cables.

Perfect! thanks @Daniël. I actually got pretty close on my own.

im pretty close. I just want to double check some details. i found an ok picture online but id still like a close up if anyone is able. ill post my results when im done tweaking.

Can someone post some decent pictures of the button door on a 17" multiple scan? mine is missing one, and I can get close guesstimating what it looked like id like some nice pictures to make as close a replacement as I can. You don't need to take the door off I just want to see what it looks...

Yeah I noticed this a while ago too. They even list the wrong model numbers. Ive seen them with the box that says for PCs parallel in big letters and they still list as SCSI. I've also seen drives listed as plus models that are just the parallel version.

as other people have mentioned there are alternatives for software preservation beyond paying for a server. based on the previous conversation here, I don't have as high as hopes as you do. sorry if its cynical, but its what appears to be currently happening. From "closed permanently" to site...

no excuse for shutting this down with no alternative option.

Picked up an se/30, was hoping it just needed a recap. nope. Maxell strikes again. Im going to try and fix it, it doesnt look toooooo bad. I mean its already broken I might as well try. Looks like minimum ill be needing to replace my RTC chip. I might even have the right PIC on hand. If the rom...

interesting, Thanks @joshc.

yeah itll get backed up. and no i didnt find it anywhere else. any one have any literature on what kind of display this thing used?

winner winner L-view dinner. When I find my long screwdriver I’ll crack it open and take a look at the card and pull its battery.

place your bets.
