    Modern 30pin SIMM Brands?

    Thanks that's helpful. In my case the modern 4x4MB sticks I bought allow my SE/30 to boot but they weirdly show up as 24MB. I've gotten NOS 4x4MB sticks and they show up as the expected 16MB, so I'm pretty sure the modern ones are faulty (they don't work in my Quadra 700 at all, and that's got...

    Retro Recipes also tried this before with some decent results: If it makes any difference, I'm in NorCal, RetroRecipes is in SoCal. I haven't seen any follow ups from RR, but I'll be tracking how it goes over time. I only really did this out of sheer laziness, I honestly wouldn't be surprised...

    Anyone have an SE speaker?

    I only ended up with the MacEffects speaker because besides ripping one out of an old Mac 0.25@/63Ω speakers don't seem to exist anymore (searching for it just yields a bunch of forum posts of people asking where to find 0.25@/63Ω speakers). Also I bought the MacEffects speaker because I assumed...

    Anyone have an SE speaker?

    I purchased one of these speakers for my Mac Classic II recently which also usually has a 63Ω 0.25watt speaker. The speaker from Maceffects is rated 8Ω 0.25watts and I found the output volume more than loud enough.

    Ruby SE/30

    Its using whatever ROM came with the system (only got it yesterday). It came with what I thought was 4x1MB RAM sticks as well. I just pulled them out and tested them in my working Classic II and they're actually 4x2MB. Guess I've got some work to do on this SE/30, haha. Edit: looked at the...

    Ruby SE/30

    Damn that looks good. I see that you're using Silicon Insider SIMM in your SE/30. Are they detecting as 4x4MB (16MB total) in your SE/30? I put 4x4MB in mine and they're only showing up as 4MB total. Can't figure out if its my SE/30 or the RAM.

    what's a good power supply replacement for a 475?

    ATX4VC paired up with a PicoPSU from here and an appropriately sized DC power supply.

    Some old school mods!!!

    Its powered using an ATX4VC connected to a PicoPSU and a 12V DC power supply. Video output is handled by RGBtoHDMI. There's probably cheaper ways of doing it but this way required the least amount of effort.

    Quadra 700with no Video Output ...

    What I described above can be done to any surrounding legs and it'll be fine.

    Quadra 700with no Video Output ...

    The usual way I do it is to soak/clean the oxidized areas with white vinegar (give it a scrub with a tooth brush then leave the vinegar for 5-10 minutes) then clean up the vinegared area with IPA afterwards. Then once its all dry hit it with the flux (I've used chip quik recently and found it...
