The SCSI2SD costs about $80 and will last 10 to 100 times longer than a HD. They make a "50pin IDC female to SCSI-1 DB25 Adapter" that I assume is a way to connect it to the external SCSI port - that seems like the best way to go - so you can share that virtual HD with any DB25 SCSI port.

I happened to find this video by Bob Paradiso, who was able to wire up a camera to a Macintosh Classic CRT wiring harness using a "SDRAM Shield" (https://embeddedmicro.com/products/sdram-shield). He uses a Mojo V3 for another similar project (https://embeddedmicro.com/products/mojo-v3)...

I just put back together a 512k (and two Pluses), and to make it easier for myself next time, I shaved the clip ridge down on the wiring harness - not entirely - just enough to make it much easier to disengage next time. Is there an easy way to get these harnesses off? Because I found it to be...

Thanks - I was hoping he was closer, so I guess I'll have to ship.

Does anyone know where maccaps (uniserver) is located?

Thanks for the info - I haven't booted into that machine yet, so I don't know its memory config. The next time I have it open, I'll shoot a video with it running.

I just opened up a new-to-me Plus and found a MaxChill (piezoelectric fan?) glued to the side of the floppy cage. I had to rip it off to get to the screw. Can someone explain to me what this does and why I need it?

Here is the theory - I'm guessing someone here has done it. I'd rather use Win32DiskManager than dd if I can help it. http://www.codesrc.com/mediawiki/index.php/HFSFromScratch It would be ideal to be able to set up the SD and keep a clone of the disk for emulation.

I've spent many hours among Mini vMac, Basilisk II, and SheepShaver, and I feel comfortable setting up a virtual disk and getting it running in all three of these.  If I set up a virtual 2GB disk in SheepShaver, then use a disk writing app (dd or Win32 Disk Imager) and write it to the SD, can I...

Yeah - thanks for the reality check. No saving of anything - I thought I found a simple solution.

That's what I thought. So for an SE/30, I could theoretically just install a ROMinator and disconnect the HD. What I like about the ROMinator also is that it's pre-loaded with utilities and such. Hopefully I can mount my external ZIP drive. Thanks!

The SCSI2SD adapter can take 4-32GB SD cards (more?) but why would you need so much space?  Considering that it shipped with a 20MB hard drive originally, I would think that a 1GB drive would be more than enough. Am I wrong? Because if that's so, then a ROM-inator with 4GB of ROM disk would be...

I understand the inclination towards retro-brighting, but I think a day will come when there is a demand for original "patina" :)

I asked the seller, and he said he'd use tantalum if that's my preference.

As much as I'd like to re-cap my own board, I'm leaning toward having someone else do it - in case it needs more than just a re-cap.  Has anyone had experience with AllMacs on eBay? "guaranteed to work" And which one of you is this? ;)

Dang - that's pretty close! Hm - now you've got me thinking about forming Plexiglas.

Yes - that would be good - even better would be someone with glass experience who can produce curved screen faces - I don't know how hard that would be, but it doesn't seem like it would be too hard to do.

I just watched this guy on youtube de-laminate the "safety screen" from a CRT. Does anyone know if the Macs' CRTs are laminated? If so, you could potentially use the safety screen + LCD to mod a case without having to use a diamond cutter ;)

I'm guessing that either the CF or the SD converters will be faster than an actual SCSI - is that a correct assumption? v6 of the SD - why would someone buy that over the v5?  And looking at the Mac ROM-inator, it looks like I might be able to use it for storage on the SE/30, since I don't...

Thanks for the informative response. Since you also developed the ROM-inator - a brilliant bit of hardware - I wish there were a single ROM that I could replace the old one with that not only ran the System but also 20MB or so of apps and games - and easily configured with a modern PC - even a...
