I can still get a directory listing of http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/ and http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Apple_II, but no higher directories.

As some of you will know, I have an original SE. Its an original, 800k drive, SE. I also have an SE/30 logic board on its way to me, according to FedEx it will be here on the 11th. I've learnt basically just tonight that the official Apple Mac SE to SE/30 logic board upgrade incorporated a...

Neither that drive nor ribbon are Apple - I'd say that it may have originally had no HD, and that at some point someone may have put this HDD and these cables in.

Yep, correct - the 'x' stands for "expanded", so at the time they were going to bring out the IIx (Mac II, expanded), and SEx (SE, expanded)...then quickly realised that they cannot release a computer called the SEx. :)

Just won an SE/30 logic board on eBay. :) With this I'll not only be able to bring my SE back to life, but also give it a nice little upgrade in the process. :) As for the thread title - I always said that if I were to ever get an SE/30, I would refer to it as my Mac SEx :)

"12" 'zaToppers" = the 12" displays marketed with the original LC. For the record, the Macintosh Colour Display (which the OP has) also makes a good 'zaTopper. :) (speaking from experience :))

My guess is that they're talking about solutions such as SoftPC and the Orange386 card.

Yep - the original purpose of a MicroDrive was actually to be used the other way around - as a cheap way of getting more capacity on CompactFlash devices.

I remember reading about this on the MacAddict Forums back in the day. The guy who started the thread on it said, "You really do have the power to burn."

Eh, I'd just use a CF card. The way I see it - the more adapters, the more to go wrong.

If the drives are dead, I'd stick CF cards in them. You can get them cheap enough these days, even in sizes (8GB+) that are bigger than anything that came out in a mini. As long as you get an ATA/UDMA compatible card it should work. I run a SanDisk Extreme 16GB in mine, with that and the...

So I have a Mac SE thats giving me Simasimac. I'm thinking of washing the board and also doing something about the corrosion near the back. However, its an SE board with the battery soldered on, which obviously I want to remove. My question is- can an SE run without a PRAM battery? I know the...

NICE! :O For the record, if I may ask - where'd you get the G3? As a broke high school student I could never afford one back in the day, and of course now they're rarer than rocking horse shit.

Thats a Macintosh Colour Display. Nice 14" Trinitron. I'd be surprised if you haven't seen one before - they sold millions of them mostly with LC series machines.

Very nice...while I have a 475, I've always wanted a 605. Because they're sexier. :) Also - the mouse isn't exactly period-correct - you need an ADB Mouse II to be completely period correct. :) Oh, and I envy your caddies! (I only have two)

For AASPs, there was MacTest Pro. For the rest of us, there was TechTool Pro, as Byrd mentioned. While TTP 3 has steeper requirements (I seem to recall it needing an '030 and around 8MB of RAM), older versions should be more compact-friendly.

Singapore unit = it was built in Singapore, as seen by the "SG" at the beginning of the serial number. The serial number would start with F if it were built in Fremont, CA, or XA or XB if it were built in Sacramento, CA. (for those of you playing along in Europe/UK, Macs with serial numbers...

What is that....that.....stuff? That couldn't *all* have come from the caps, could it?

At the very least I'll have to try washing it first - at the moment I get Simasimac. :(
