Well, the new RAM I bought doesn’t work and I can’t glue the captive screw back together.  Also that VRAM SIMM doesn’t work (must only work on LCs I guess).

Added a Centris 650 to my collection.  It works great, but there were some issues.  The floppy drive stopped working, so I had to replace it with one from my broken LC II.  I noticed something was off with the Centris' floppy drive when I put a disk in and it was a very tight fit getting it in...

Thought I would give an update.  Since my last post, I've purchased a couple different graphics cards for the G4 with the most recent being the Radeon 9000 with 128 MB of VRAM.  I could've went with the 256 MB 9800 (I found a driver from Ati that forces the card to work under OS 9 with just...

My AGP graphics Power Mac G4 still has the 128 GB limit.

(Just to clarify: One HDD has OS X and the other has OS 9.2.2.)

Haven't gotten around to all of them yet, but I have started imaging them.  I did three today.  Once I upload them to the garden, I'll post an update in this thread. Wow, I haven't updated this thread in awhile.  Since my last post the only mac-related things I've been acquiring are upgrades...

Very impressive.

Forgot to mention this, the zip bezel is missing.

I’m neutral when it comes to Zip. I never owned a Zip drive until I got this Mac.  I transfer files to my oldest Macs via my Powerbook G3 PDQ and on that machine I use either standard floppies or AppleTalk to move files to/from my SE or Classic II.   I already get more convenient USB...

My Power Macintosh G4 Sawtooth came with an internal Zip drive, but it doesn’t work.  I installed IomegaWare under OS 9 and I could see the drive light up and make noise, but IomegaWare told me there was no disk.  The disks I was using were NOS Fujifilm PC formatted Zip 100 disks.  The front...

I removed the battery in mine even though it wasn't leaking.  I just used a pair of side cutters to remove it along with the wire holding it in place.  I didn't replace the battery though, since it's not required to boot the SE.

Don't own a 630 myself, but I actually quite like the look of them.  Would definitely pick one up if I found a good deal.  I'm a fan of beige desktops.

So true.  Glad I got my working Macs when I did.

I followed your instructions and it worked.  

I know it’s possible to enable MultiFinder in system 6, but I can’t figure out how.  Anybody know how to enable MultiFinder in system 6? Thanks

My SE is working again!  Turns out I didn’t have the floppy controller chip pushed down all the way.  I swapped the hard drive bays and I now have the Classic II’s HDD paired with the SE’s original 800K floppy drive.  Would love to do a SuperDrive upgrade one day, but for now, I’ll stick with...

Got a random assortment of CD-ROMs, mostly Mac shareware compilations, from 1994-95.  Haven't had time to try them all since there's a lot of stuff crammed on these CDs.  I also got a TV output PC card for Mac and Windows laptops.  I don't really need it, but it was cheap and I thought it would...

I used Microsoft Word 5.1 on my SE the most.  If you're interested in word processing I recommend it.

Is it okay to put the superdrive back in the Classic II or is the drive toast?

I did use the same floppy and HDD cables from the Classic II.
