    Yet another SE/30 video issue

    I have an SE/30 that wasn't working at all, but with a good clean and a recap I've got a boot sound etc again. Unfortunately it has some kind of video issue, in fact the screen looks exactly the same as the photo from this Apple Fritter post from five years...

    ADB Wedge Mouse Variants

    I've noticed similar, but I've not yet been through all my mice to check the differences. I wonder if there's more than four?!

    SE/30 Stripes on Display?

    I have a very similar, if not the same issue (accompanied by the boot chimes of death) - see third picture here below, on my instagram. I've recapped it, cleaned the board, removed all the RAM and ROM SIMMs, and I tested the "Bourns" or resistor networks as per this video of techknight's (can't...

    I'm pretty sure Juggler was the codename for System 6's MultiFinder, the multitasking update for Macintosh, see this news article: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=fGXpro99fIsC&lpg=PP1&ots=AVKJinM6GZ&dq=apple macintosh juggler system 6&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q=apple macintosh...

    Macintosh IIsi

    Aw a IIsi was the first Mac I owned myself, bought second hand when I was a kid. Sold it to help pay for my first from-new Mac, a PM 6100 with DOS card. Nice idea to have a System 6 machine, I may do similarly with either my IIci or IIsi. My family's first Mac was a Classic II running 7.1 so...
