Hello, been working on an SE/30, recapped the board and ADB'ed the floppy, and it worked for a while, but now it will not recognize either the floppy or HD, either internal or external. Originally, there was a lot of static noise coming out of the speaker, found that the LS166D chip had goo from...

I picked up a couple of external HD in enclosures, no name brand (seriously, I could not find a name anywhere on the case!), plugged them into my working SE/30 and, nothing, no drive found using scsi probe. I also picked up 6 good drives IBM and Quantum, and plugged those into the case...

Been rebuilding a fairly nasty board, no real damage but rust, dirt, and corrosion. I removed the square box shield that is near the back end with all the pots to clean it up and there are two packages, one a typical TO-220, and the second a larger package, both had heat sink compound on them...

Internal is fine, but trying to run an external 800K drive is not recognized, does that sound correct? Thanks.

Hi all, I can't get the internal floppy drive to work, it has been rebuilt but will not read a disk. The external drive works just fine, but not the internal. I have two of these 800K drives and neither one will read, so I am guessing the internal FDC is not working with the drives, or either I...

Hi all, I have the system restore CD for the performa 500 series computers that I am trying to use on an internal bluescsi, in other words, restore the 575 system onto a blank SD card on the bluescsi. To do this, I boot from the internal CD drive, and I get the performa CD coming up, however...

Hi everyone, I am at a bit of a quandary regarding powering my internal bluescsi in my performa 575 and 550. Both of these use a connector that fits into a slot in the computer that includes a power connector not on the bluescsi. I thought the bluescsi works off of power provided on the scsi...

Looking for a holder for an internal bluescsi to mount on the HD sled for my performa 575. Anyone seen or heard of such a holder? Thanks!

Was working on recapping an SE/30 and the far left side cap had created a little bit of corrosion round it's leads and a nearby part noted as Q3, looks like a tiny voltage regulator. It just fell off when cleaning with a q-tip, and now I need a replacement. Pad took a while to clean up, but they...

While SCSI probe sees the drive, can't seem to get it on the desktop or anything. How/what program can I use to get the HD up? I fear I may need to re-initialize and lose any programs on it. Thanks.

I did read a post here about trying to back up original files onto a BlueSCSI, so is it as easy as plugging in the BlueSCSI and dropping the files onto the BlueSCSI drive? And can I run then after doing that directly from the BlueSCSI? Thanks!

Have an SE with a working drive that has the OS (7.0.1) and a bunch of software that I want to keep and archive onto a zip drive. The System 7 folder has a System 7 disk image folder with image files, would I just use that to install the System 7 onto another mac? Was thinking of just copying...

Can't quite get that cover off to access the floppy/cd drives. I hear there is a pdf manual for the 520, 550, 575, anyone have a copy of it, or know how to get that cover off? I need access to the floppy to refurb it. Thanks!

Hi all. Picked up an SE/30 at the System Source swap meet a couple of weeks ago that was in nice shape, no corrosion. Now, it does have a couple of issues I need to address, in particular, I see some occasional screen "wobble" or stretching, fairly minor, but I am thinking the AB needs a recap...

Hi all, picked up a 575 a couple of weeks ago at the System Source swap meet, missing the HD, so am using the plug-in bluescsi for now with the minimal 7.5.5 boot up, works fine. Was wondering several things about this machine, like how do I get the memory up past the current 36 meg (with 32 bit...
