Awesome, enjoy the machine!

I have also blown this exact part, it connects to the eject mechanism. My guess is that something jammed the eject motor so that it used too much current (or that it was connected wrongly?). In my case, replacing it with the same part from a broken drive made it work perfectly fine again.

Thanks, this is awesome! Back when Symantec actually made good non-bloat software...

Has the board been recapped? Also look for bad traces, especially near the SWIM chip. Sometimes traces can be bad under components too, so I recommend testing traces near the capacitors with a multimeter. EDIT: Just checked, some traces from the SWIM chip actually go under the C8/C9 capacitors...

Alright. This is not super important though, so if it's a lot of work to dig it out then don't do it. :) I noticed something now. Disk benchmark gives results that are half that of an unexpanded Macintosh SE on sequential read/write, and I'm even using a BlueSCSI v2. What could this be? Are...

I'm sorry if I offended you, that was not my intention. As you can clearly see, I can get frustrated too! I'm not only Norwegian (English is not my primary language), but I also find it hard in general to explain things in a clean and easily understood manner. Communication can be difficult, and...

You are misunderstanding what I'm trying to say and achieve, blaming me for things I haven't done, and trying to make me look like a fool. I never claimed that not using Compact Virtual means it's using slow memory. You are putting words in my mouth, and it's starting to get annoying. The...

Can you tell me how to use the tool, then? And did I blame you? Nope.

Memory benchmark results are in for Norton System Info 3.2.1: Compact Virtual (proper install, 16MB RAM): 10,9MB/s No Compact Virtual (4MB RAM): 13,4MB/s Compact Virtual "faulty" install (wrong accelerator selected, w/ 16MB swap): 13,4MB/s Conclusion: This tool is not suitable for testing...

The reason I asked for the benchmark tool he used is because he verified that RAM performance went down significantly after using Virtual (the wrong way?), so it confirms that it tests the affected regions.

I meant to ask Realitystorm, but I guess it's good to try the one you used as well. Anyway, I came to think of something.... What if the memory benchmark only resides in the lower 4MB, so that it won't test the region that is handled by the MMU (or swap file if Virtual didn't work correctly with...

What benchmark software did you use? Also, just to make it clear: You need to use System 7.0.1/7.1 US, British or Z-International for this to work. It kinda looked like it worked on Norwegian System 6 actually, so maybe the language problem only exists on 7.x.

Not as bad as 'Gemini Ingetra', as spelled in the Compact Virtual installer. :LOL:

Alright. Btw, got System 7.1 International + System Update 3.0 + GemStart 3.0 + Virtual to work now. What I did wrong the first time was to not select Mobius under install. So System 7.1 International works too, but not French and Norwegian.

I did that, and everything seems to work fine. Audio too. But if this driver is meant for a Gemini Ultra/Integra, I can't be sure if it really is wise to use this driver with a Mobius.

Interesting. I tried System 7.1 US + Compact Virtual 3.0.2 with Mobius selected during install. Now I get no swap file, and "About This Macintosh" doesn't mention anything about HDD RAM. Success, I guess. I'll experiment a bit more with this, as I want to use GemStart 3.0. I need something to...

I see, I thought you had the SE with the Virtual stuff installed available at the moment, after you posted the screenshots.

Again, can you verify that there is no "VIRTUAL SwapFile" in your System Folder? And how does your "About This Macintosh" look like? I just want to verify if this is normal or not.

So I tried System 7.1 International + System Update 3.0 + GemStart 3.0 + Compact Virtual 3.0.2. Virtual has the "RAM Disk Settings" option now. However, "About This Macintosh" still says that 8MB is used as RAM on Macintosh HD, and there's still an 8MB "VIRTUAL SwapFile" file inside System...
