Aaargh, sacrilege :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Bit far out, am from Belgium, EU :) It's a rather big community here, so you'll likely find someone closer... I'v never had/felt the need for a PSU recap, somehow on my machines (mainly SE's) they always seem to work. Analog is another story, recapped most of them. Wobbly screen and all sorts...

Whereabouts are you located? It's a pretty big world :cool:

Now I'm pretty much certainly not going to the seller of the shady SE/30... Another /30 popped up, basically round my corner. Put a bid of 150€, under condition that it can be booted before purchase, and the seller accepted!

Crap, gotta find an LC now :sneaky:

In the meantime doing some PPC work in the mancave :)

Is there any possibility to use a Mobius Speedster LC in an SE? Can get one relatively cheap, but I seem to remember that the PDS bus of an LC is different to the PDS bus of an SE, eventhough it is exactly the same connector...LC uses a 68020 on the mainboard instead of the 68000 of the SE Or...

Accelerator boards or such wizardy doesn't count :cool:

Didn't know of TattleTale! Anyways, TattleTech 2.17 is confirmed working on a 4MB Mac SE running system 6.08... Wich is what SE's should run IMO, plenty people sticking 7.x on, which is a bit of a struggle for a 68000 running at 8Mhz, even when maxed out at 4MB...

A PDS upgrade card would indeed be possible, but that wouldn't make it an SE/30! Although a working 03 or 040 "booster" card also seems to be becoming a very rare an valuable piece of hardware!

Prepared my DB25 BlueSCSI with system 6.08 on it and Tattletech 2.17. Seems the higher versions of Tattletech need at least system 7 or higher to run... Tested it on one of my SE's, boots perfectly ( while holding cmd/ctrl/shift/del as there is a working haddrive internally). One thing I...

Jesus, what is it with those rifa's? The above one I repaired a few months ago, but opening the adapter it got cracked, working but not looking nice. So by accident I saw a cheap one for sale, picked it up, as a not yet opened one looks nice. Worked like a charm for a few days, and then, this...

Yeah, would have happily paid the 290€ for a complete clean SE/30 with carrying bag and accesories... Never even mind the broken HDD

For an SE, definitely waaay to much! Like double. SE's are still pretty easy to find at a reasonable price, the SE/30's are much much harder to find! On some of his pics I can see he is using a system tools floppy from a Mac plus Bit of research and indeed finder version 5.3 came with Mac...

Bummer, the bloke took some extra pictures, not much help... He did write the HD is dead, so currently only booting from floppy (so sure that one works properly). Not bothered by the dead HD, as long as there is no issue with the scsi circuitry, I use a BlueSCSI anyways.. Looks like he is...

Asked the seller to send me a detail foto with the serial, and also a foto of the "About this Macintosh" window...If it has 32 or even 128 MB (a man can dream :) ) it obviously is a /30! Lets hope that the bloke who spent the dough on the (expensive) upgrade also upped the memory while he was...

Is what I thought, but I know for a fact that the official SE to SE/30 upgrade set actually came with a new /30 front bezel, so if it is an upgraded one, they never bothered to swap out the bezel... A million possibilities! Case/bezel might have been messed up/dirty/cracked and simply replaced...

Can always ask!

Hmm, I can prepare Tattletech on a floppy to take there. I also have bluescsi DB25, so I can pre-load load Tattletech on an a HD image, because if it's a regular SE with 800K floppy drive I wouldn't even be able to load from 1.44MB floppy... What version of Tattletch would be best for an SE or...

I just found an apparently rather clean and very complete Mac SE/30 for sale. Keyboard, mouse, carrying bag, some what look like original accompanying floppies.. However, the front of the machine looks exactly like my regular SE FDHD. On the back it has got the SE/30 (M5119) label... Kind of...
