I second the ask on recovering that thread as I just sorted out how I might this all jammed inside my SE/30 in this thread: My PDS Extension Cable...DONE

Just under 11 years ago I started this thread on AppleFritter about trying to create a PDS extension cable for my SE/30. On Friday I finally got it working. Here is the recipe: 3x 40-wire: 40pc Dupont Wire Jumper Cable 1P-1P 2.54mm female to Female length 20cm readily available on Ebay  ...

This is my collection of Daystar 030 accelerators: All share CPU part number MC68030RC50B. Only one has the coprocessor PN MC68882RC50A.  I'd like to add the missing chip to both that don't have it.  These seem readily available on Ebay...  Do I just need to acquire 2 of these MC68882RC50A...

Thanks for this and phew...that is what I thought I had done. Not being a cap expert, are the 2 blue ones what you are referring to? Finally, is there someone on this group that does recap work?  I have seen someone on eBay offering this service.  

Hi All, I got a chance to inspect each of the 3 SE/30 motherboards I have for 2 systems.  It has been a few years since I have looked at these and I am pretty certain I sent 2 of these away for a recap job however I am not an capacitor expert and could use help identifying the work done on...

Yep, I am not an engineer and I don't follow the diagrams but is the point of this effort to get more than 16MB RAM running in a IIsi?  I think that is the upper limit even if >4MB RAM chips are installed each of the 4 slots.

I figured that this had been checked, thanks much for confirming! I have a couple of threads on a possible path to a SE/40etgs where the Daystar 040 is replaced by a Carrera 040: Need help with MicroMac Carrera040 in a SE/30 SE/40 Grayscale: Need help with a Carrera hack User GeekDot engaged...

That is what I thought and what I experienced when I tried SE/30 + Asante + Daystar IIsi adapter & 040 Accelerator + Micron Xceed. I tried it once and trusted what Gamba said, SE/40etgs: This setup would have EtherNet + DayStar Turbo 040 accelerator + Micron Xceed internal...

With a screen shot showing the Asante NiC, DayStar 040 and Micron Xceed card all running together I will buy one as I have all 3.  Is the mod the Asante where its secondary PDS points up required or can a right angle adapter be used?  Also, is the a FW minimum on the 040? Mine says ROM v4.01...

Wow, fantastic work. I believe the answer is no, but this config with a Daystar 040 accelerator will not work, correct? Gamba said no but he didn't have your card... Also, does this config clear the Floppy chassis and HD? 

Confirmed. My AMZN order shipped before reading your post. The 3 connectors arrived and none worked. Yeah the $120 converter is not a path I am looking to go. I was hoping to use the Cinema display with the ADC converter at the end of my Belkin 4-port KVM to display my G4, the IIsi and then 2...

THx for this Daniël. I went looking on AMZN and these three look promising as they mention signal conversion: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M0FL4WF Description: 1， Convert your PC's VGA output single onto a DVI enhanced LCD flat panel display 2，Cost-effective solution for...

Here is my update... I wanted to see what was possible so and Apple ADC to DVI converter. I know that the converter works as I can take the the DVI output to a PC with a DVI video card and all works: I then went to the local Frys to get an adapter that was DVI F to VGA M.  This is what I...

Sorry to hear the 4th of July came early... If you can't salvage the board, I have one sitting in my closet that I bought for the fx ROM to be used in my SE/30.  I don't know if it is functional and I am still contemplating scavenging the the CPU and math coprocessor.  PM if you are interested.

I just checked each of the drives and there was nothing to indicate the date they were manufactured.  I need to figure out the jumper settings for both so I will do some digging to see if I can find anything further.

Happy Holidays All. Recently I cleared the deck of some house projects and have been able to dust of my vintage Mac bits, 2 of which include these beauties: I had the Bit Micro but had never been able to get running on my IIsi or SE/30.  I found a thread from member max1zzz about some 68 to...

This is the video card that will ultimately end up up in the machine...supermac video spigot: That will be dealt with after the work on the SE/30...

Not a great photo but there is the IIsi on its native video at 256 colors on my Envision LCD monitor which apparently does SOG.

Hi All, I am about to start in on several vintage Mac projects and one of those is my IIsi.  I had it using a generic 15" LCD display with a VGA adapter.  This setup worked fine on both native video as well as video card I could run out of the PDS slot (I think it is a Video Spigot). In my...
