    HFS Workbench for MacOS X

    This looks incredibly useful, I've been looking for something like this! The closest thing I've found that works well is CiderPress on Windows, which is really old and clunky. I'd love to try this out! If you're interested in making it open-source, I (and probably others in the community) would...

    SE/30 Benchmarks: Mechanical HDD vs. RaSCSI vs. BlueSCSI

    I think that more or less makes sense - HDDs have always been quite good at raw throughput, the issue is with seek time/latency (which is reflected in your test). As far as the RaSCSI, I've heard it's very dependent on which model Pi you use. A Pi Zero is definitely going to be limiting...

    Mac Plus system 7.0.1 question

    Is this a common solution for when applications don't want to open files? For example, I've found that StuffIt archives downloaded from the internet can be really hit-or-miss as to whether StuffIt wants to actually open them or not. I'm guessing this is related to the resource forks getting...

    Upgrading SE with SE/30 Logic Board... Doesn't Fit

    How much would you want for an SE/30 case with chassis & frame? Feel free to PM me

    Upgrading SE with SE/30 Logic Board... Doesn't Fit

    That’s an incredible deal! That said I’ve already done the “mod” (just to the modern power extension cable) and with an SE/30 chassis it should all work exactly like a real 30. If I saw a deal like that I’d totally pick it up, but for now it’s just kinda fun to have a sleeper SE.

    Upgrading SE with SE/30 Logic Board... Doesn't Fit

    Those seem to be the major points. There are probably some more subtle revisions to things that don't matter as much. I'd even struggle to call the chassis changes I discovered "major" since it's *so close to fitting correctly* and seems to only be an issue with the earliest models. From what...

    How to get software on a Mac Classic?

    That's very cool! Commander looks like it solves the problems with pretty much every other solution, which is getting a file onto an HFS disk. The next best thing I've seen so far is RaSCSI's automatic CD creation (makes a CD image and mounts it from a file), but this seems much better for...

    How to get software on a Mac Classic?

    RaSCSI is my favorite option, and by far the most capable. Regarding Pi availability - pre-built RaSCSIs with Pi included are still available here - https://samplerzone.com/products/chicken-rascsi-sd-scsi-drive That's where I got mine.

    Upgrading SE with SE/30 Logic Board... Doesn't Fit

    Thanks, but before I get just the chassis, does anyone know if it fits on the SE front panel? I might need the SE/30 front panel as well. I also don't need a PSU cable, I just extended the existing one and did not actually mutilate that one :) lol, my last name is Polish, isn't that close enough?

    Upgrading SE with SE/30 Logic Board... Doesn't Fit

    I ended up mutilating an ATX extension cable, and things fit good enough! Long term I'll want to get an actual SE/30 chassis (which I will need for things like PDS cards anyway) but this will do for now.

    Upgrading SE with SE/30 Logic Board... Doesn't Fit

    Thanks! I actually found PotatoFi's clips earlier today and ordered them. Glad that one was an easy fix :D That's what I thought too! However the SE/30's case does seem to be slightly different (picture found from here: " Namely, the SE doesn't have an opening for the PDS card, and the slot...

    Upgrading SE with SE/30 Logic Board... Doesn't Fit

    Fair enough! My thought was that this would be easy since Apple offered an official logic board upgrade, but it looks like that included a new chassis as well, which I didn't realize before (I thought it was just the front panel to make it say "SE/30"). That might actually be a good idea - I...

    Upgrading SE with SE/30 Logic Board... Doesn't Fit

    I bought an SE/30 logic board to upgrade my SE, thinking it would fit, and it... *almost* does! But, the PSU connector is just a little bit further down on the SE/30 board, and whatever revision of the SE I have has a chassis does not seem to like it. You can see in these pictures that the PSU...

    Won a Performa 5210CD, importing it. What should I look out for?

    If you truly cannot afford it, tell that to Sendico and either cancel your card or file a chargeback if they do end up charging. Tell them you'll file a chargeback if they do end up charging you. You'll never be able to work with Sendico again, but if that's the position you're in, you have an out.

    If you can't find anyone on here to take it, you can try TinkerDifferent - I know they have at least a few members in Japan

    Won a Performa 5210CD, importing it. What should I look out for?

    What's the cost difference between surface and air? Worst case you can probably find someone in Japan who would want a good deal on it and ship it to them, I wouldn't want them to end up destroying a perfectly good computer.

    At least they included the nice little emoticon to make it a little easier to swallow :ROFLMAO:

    Dead CRT on my Classic? Aw jeez...

    If you hold the mouse button down, it'll try to eject the drive. But, if it's truly jammed in there this might not help.
