Disregard. I repaired both traces.

Anyone know the specifics of C4? I managed to lift one pad (C4 +). There's a trace going from (what was) that pad to a chip labeled 34119 025 (which I bodged)...But there's also a trace on the opposite side of that pad leading to two vias....No clue how to bodge that as I don't know where the...

Considering this just came out of a guys basement after 30 years. Initial look is encouraging. Not battery bombed. Caps leaking (of course) on Power board and logic board (nasty on the power board) . So I'll clean it up and recap everything. ADB keyboard and mouse came too....Also got a...

Apparently dead (and free). Will post what I find and hopefully the restore here.

Hi, Is there any hack that would allow a Powerbook G4 12" to boot natively into OS9? Maybe like a reverse XPostFacto utility? Thanks for any info, Steve

I have two happily restored SE/30's but man that video gave me the creeps...now I'm wondering if I should go back and put mask under each of the 12v caps.....someone talk me out of it, please. Is the risk only at C10? There are several other caps that have 12v, i think?

I probably like my mouse abnormally fast. To each their own. I don't like pulling my mouse all the way across the mouse pad.

well I wouldn't say they're real slow but just a little slower than I like them even maxed out. I have a power computing ADB mouse that feels twice as fast.

Specifically the G5341 is a very sluggish mouse compared to others. Even on an SE/30 with the speed in the mouse control panel maxed, it. still doesnt feel too snappy...this fixed the issue perfectly.

I kept picking up SE's when they were cheap for all the parts except the SE/30 logic board. And I restored a second SE/30 as well. I have extra RAM, ROM, Video ROM and whatever the graphics chips are for UE8 etc. (my best repair day was when I brought the second SE/30 back to life by replacing...

Just thought I'd pass this along it works perfectly. Much better SE/30 experience over here. https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/mouse2

Do they look different? Not in my opinion at a glance. Wonder what he's referring to?

Yeah I've learned alot about these in the past few days. What crazy cool contraptions! Thanks all.

Well, I replaced the head assembly on the drive in question with a head assembly from another known working HD Drive. Drumroll................ It formats, verifies and mounts 1.44mb HD disks now. So the problem in this case, was not the ZTS but apparently the heads themselves or maybe the...

It seems to be able to format, verify and mount 800k disks no matter where I put the ZTS. Still fails at verification for all 1.44mb disks.

I suspect they're compatible. Just that the disks are different.

Thanks for that research. If the media is different, does this necessarily mean the heads are different? My next step will be to replace the head assembly (temporarily) with one from a known working superdrive and see if things change.

Very interesting.

I appreciate everyone's help with this!
