    8100 not displaying text in dialog or menus!

    This got weirder... so the machine had 8.5 installed, the CD's I booted from were 8.1 and 9.0.4, no text with those. But I was playing with a new RaSCSI which had a volume with a 7.5 version, booted from that version and text was shown!!! Everything looked ok. I was happy, then upgraded to 7.6...

    Diagnosing SE Analog board (bad flyback?)

    Fan doesn't even turn, does faint noises, like it's trying to rotate. Voltages: 0.038 volts instead of 12, 0 instead of 5, bad power supply? I don't think so! R19 and L3 were very hot (over 50C, 122F). CR3 was removed, tested bad. With CR3 removed the fan works and normal voltages are read...

    System 8.x DHCP not working?

    OMG, you saved me!, I got another AAUI adapter because the 650 wasn't getting an IP address from the DHCP server. Even setting the IP addressing manually didn't work (couldn't ping the 650 from my LAN). It's been more than 20 years since I ever used an old Mac to browse the Internets! Thanks a...

    Simasimac SE/30 Diagnosis

    Actually the first three times I got the simasimac screen for a few seconds, then it booted normally. But when I closed it and installed the back, no more clean boots, only the chime then simasimac screen, no matter how long I leave it running... :cry:
