@krishnadraws- I can tell you from experience that the SE/30 will run up to Photoshop 4 (Photoshop 5 and above requires a power mac) reasonable well, but to run 4 you'll definitely want more RAM.  Actually, you'll want more RAM anyways!  There was a seller who was (I think still is?)selling...

Welp, so far I replaced the 80mhz crystal, transistors, voltage reference, all of the electrolytic capacitors, and two muxes: the CD74ACT153E (below the 50mhz clock) and the 74HCT139n.  And after doing all of that, I got.....nothing.  Then i replaced the 50Mhz clock, and finally I got a...

That's nice looking Mac Plus setup!  I grew up with an original Macintosh 128k that we had upgraded to a whopping 512k.  My parents used to work at a local computer store and bought it about 1986 or so for a steep discount:  $1000, and that included an image writer I printer.  Alas, it got sold...

I use Lido 7 to partition my drives.  In my SE/30 I am currently using a SCSI2SD converter with a 16gb micro SD card that I have partitioned into 4 4gb slices.  Works great!   And it sure is nice to have the space.

@olePigeon@EvilCapitalistThanks!  I still can't believe it;  It's a nice addition to my collection.  Now if I can only get my Rasterops Color Board 108 SE/30 fully operational.....

I bid on this at the last minute about two weeks ago and was kind of shocked when I won!  Especially for what I paid for it; at $80, it feels like I practically stole this card.  It displays up to millions of colors at 640x480, and has pretty cool looking splash screen to boot: The cool splash...

Hello all,  I have a thought: would it be possible to base this project off of another SE/30 video Card?  Myself have have several of them, including a RasterOps 264/SE30, a RasterOps ClearVue GS30,  and my newest addition straight from eBay, an Interware VDR-2a.   Would it be possible to...

@Mighty Jabba-Nice!  I might try this with a few of the dead old Mac drives that I have lying around.

Hello all,      A few weeks ago I had the good fortune to pick up a few SE/30's with video cards, including one with a RasterOps Clear Vue GS30.  So I put it into my main SE/30 to test it out.  It worked well for about a week, having the ability to display 256 shades of grey at 1024 x 768.  And...

@joshcWoah!!  The one that plugs into the CPU slot??!!

@joshc Hey, a network card is still a good find!  And certainly worth a few $$ if you want to sell it on eBay.  Of course, it would be lovely to buy an SE/30 and find a Daystar accelerator plugged into the CPU slot!

     Last week while I was on eBay looking for old macs I came across an auction with 20 different old Macintosh computers, most of them compact macs- and a few of them SE/30's.  The total for the auction was $640 and you had to go to Iowa to pick them all up!       Long and short of it nobody...

Awesome!  I bought a IIci last year with a Sonnet 040 in it as well, although I didn't do quite as good as you did-it cost me $200.  However, the IIci was running!

Hello, I too was wondering what was happening with this project.  I posted in another thread that I'd  would possible like to continue with it if no one else would object.  @joethezombie-do you know where the schematics are for the current state of the project?

@Crutch-Thanks!  I probably will need some help at some point.  I'm slowly going through the entirety of the "Programming Starter Kit" book- I'm currently on page 100.  At least I now have a better understanding of what Heaps and Stacks are...kind of. I set up one of my laptops with Basilisk II...

Hello all!  I've been a long time lurker on this forum, but I haven't posted much.  But I plan to change that! Hi Zane!   I have a Mac Plus I'd love to try out with this, so count me in as well. Also, does anyone know whatever happened to Twinspark SE/30 adapter project? I'd love to offer to...

Hey westcoasttech,your second card looks like a video card for an SE/30, judging by the size of the bus in the pictures.  Kinda reminds me of the Interware VD-R1 video card that I have that I can't quite get to work!  I also have a Raster Ops 264/SE30; I've never seen something like what you've...
