    Now I'm on the fence Plus vs SE/30

    my floppy drive is not happy. slow to eject and took a while to read an 800k floppy, refuses to read 1.44meg wants to try to format everything as 800k and just says 'format failed' no crash or bus error. Other than that the machine is working great, thanks uniserver the board looks great. :)

    Now I'm on the fence Plus vs SE/30

    I'll post it up once I get it back and running. Just used the plus to move some data off some floppies, GAH what a nasty tangle of wires and peripherals. Having definite second thoughts about keeping it, lots of time spent setting it up before I could use it... If I do keep it, it'll be...

    SE and SE/30 electrolytic caps list.

    I got a partial list of the caps on my analog board, just missing one axial that's upside down so I can't read it and I can only read the two big main ones in the power supply. Does anyone have a comprehensive list? Want to order them so I can start recapping since they're both date coded...

    Now I'm on the fence Plus vs SE/30

    And no one wants to have it figured out. Really see little need to write floppies, read, yes write, no. And I really only need to read 800k floppies at that (I have a 1.44MB USB drive that reads mac disks on my intel mini). ethernet is better than sneakernet. |)

    Now I'm on the fence Plus vs SE/30

    Fence no more! I've moved the good CRT over to the SE/30 and the board has been sent off to uniserver for recapping. Also found out it was an SE but was upgraded to an SE/30. So the plus and most of my SE/30 are actually nearly the same age. SE/30 is F821. Plus is F847(so the plus is a...

    Mac Plus karma

    What he said. When you look at the side of the analog board where the solder joints are it should be very obvious which ones are bad. Every one I've seen had obvious cracks in the solder. Easy fix.

    My Latest ...

    came close to getting one of those modem port serial cards for my B&W G3 back in the day. ended up moving and unable to get high-speed internet so I needed the modem. Got a USB to serial instead(which I still have)

    Not a mac... but will be?

    I have a copy of the .exe used to make the BIOS floppy, plenty of blank floppies, even a USB floppy drive... when I have some time I guess. If I figure out an inexpensive way to get the touch screen to work I'll use it in the garage to play music and check websites when repairing things (my...

    Potential Solution For Auto-Negotiating Ethernet Issues

    Thanks for the offer, but I have the parts here to make one. Once I have time to play around. Would be nice to ditch all the 10base-T hubs I have kicking around (three, two can do 10base-2 as well).

    Not a mac... but will be?

    The point was, it's done for * me*. I don't have anything windows, not going to buy a copy just to flash the bios of a free computer. The other one is working fine. I'll give away the other to someone that can flash it.

    Potential Solution For Auto-Negotiating Ethernet Issues

    I'll have to give that a try... my Asante mini EN/SC(well not mine any more) as well as the Dayna Etherprint-T both will not work with 10/100 *switches* on a 10/100 hub they both worked just fine. Ethernet card in the SE/30 is fine on a 10/100/1000 switch.

    Not a mac... but will be?

    Ended up with a pair of Lenovo thinkcenter (M57p) towers that were being discarded from a local store of a national pizza chain... and it does smell like pizza when they've been on for a while. |) Also included two touchscreen monitors, that's kind of fun. Thus far I screwed up the BIOS...

    Tunnel Vision On Monochrome Active Matrix Powerbooks

    I've had one with the bad tunneling. It was very bad when I first got it, it had been sitting in an unheated garage for quite some time (got it mid winter). I found it cleared up slightly after being in the house for a while. It wasn't completely fixed but it was not nearly as bad as when I...

    Now I'm on the fence Plus vs SE/30

    you know, you're not making my downsizing work the way it should. :p 16-32MB would be fine the PB with 10MB did just fine. 6.0.8 would be nice on the ROM, zippy speedy SE/30
