Wow, just wow. You sir definitely deserve that result after all that hard work. Kudos! Funny when working methodically, there's always something really obvious and stupid that's amiss.

That's absolutely insane. I definitely would have given up fore sure.  You're an inspiration Potato.  :eek: All that hard work and what it looks like now, it might actually, possibly, hopefully, with some wood-touching, power on to maybe something on screen.

I'm fairly sure my SE/30 had a green HD access LED. Perhaps that just used whatever LED they had in stock at the time?

I think these files should definitely be uploaded somewhere for all to access. Definitely alot of PB users here that need this.  However like yours, both my 500 series lappies need some kind of center piece fix though. If only there was a similar solution for my PB150... Been tempted just to...

Pity it's so convoluted for such a basic thing. I think I'll leave it!  ::-) The reason I wanted to change it is because UK/European market System OS' are named as "Wastebasket", which I personally prefer. 

I've managed to find plenty of stuff on the net about doing this in OSX, but absolutely nothing on if it's also possible to rename it in a OS9 and before environment. Does anyone know of it's possible? Maybe I'm just being thick!

Also worth making sure pins on the FPU and / or the socket doesn't have bent pins or ones shorting on eachother. Quite easy to have two pins touch on a PLCC chip.

Does it not power on at all? I wonder if someone tried to plug it in directly to a 240v outlet. Hopefully the worst that could happen is an internal fuse has blown, or maybe some  chunky easy to source mains input components. Could be slot worse though of the voltage managed to travel further...

They definitely don't look like they would be easy to source, I hope I'm proven wrong.  If you do score a load, how do you hope to solder them on? Looks like it would be a real bugger to do by hand.

Some are more prone than others. You might want to consider the more advanced  high-end 68k machines first. That said there are so many factors that come into cap leakage from what caps they used from the factory at the time it was assembled, to the ammount it has been used (and possibly even...

The caps look visually okay and the 6100 is less prone to cap leakage than most, but that doesn't mean they're still not bad. Since your audio does still work, the fact it's low even at max, I can almost certainly say it's cap related. I can't think what else could cause that issue, other than...

I was bidding on that, decided to opt out, had no idea this was something special. Good score.

I have one of them in my 840. Definitely worth it since all you need is a HD sled and another drive. I picked up a 2.1GB 68-Pin SCSI drive for the second bay. Only trouble I had is the cable I used made it hard to plug into the card. Far from ideal as any more welly and I could have broke the...

Getting very lucky on eBay is probably your best bet. That's how I got mine, with help from a kind Aussie user here.

With much deliberation, I decided to go with none of the choices (technically) and take jessenator's suggestion by lining it up with the CD-ROM drive, to the left. Thanks for the thought's.  :)

Well that being the case. I have wanted an Apple II for some years and one day the time finally came. I found my //c about 4 years ago or so on eBay. Wasn't the most well presented listing and was sold as non-working (because the seller didn't test it or power it up prior to listing). After a...

This is basically what mine needs. I washed the board but I don't have the soldering skills/equipment yet to do the job properly, so I'm just making sure cap goo is kept to a minimum.  It's a real power house of a machine though, nice to see another 840 user.  :) Mine has a FWB Jackhammer...

I'm fairly new to the Apple II club, with a //c. Pretty uncommon in this part of the world. I haven't done too much with it yet but if you want a few words from me I'm happy to lend a paragraph or two.

Keep it for now, though of I ever get more Sonnet hardware, I might come knocking.  :) Thanks to all for the thought's. Will let the poll run a little longer just in case.

I'm undecided where to place the newly arrived case sticker to reflect the G3 card that's installed! What do you guys think? 1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6:
