Yeah, I got the new battery off eBay and replaced it. Works great now!

I was exploring all of the above possibilities.  I've been using Ciderpress and HFVExplorer on my PC.  I got stymied at the step where I put the IIc formatted disk into my mac. I guess I should look into getting the prodos file extensions installed or getting a serial cable. Macs certainly can...

I have a Classic II and a Cube, so no help from either of those.

I wanted to use the SE/30 and disks because it seemed easy compared to getting/building a serial cable and messing about with connecting computers that are on opposite sides of the house.  Sneakernet!  PC -> SE/30 -> IIc

I formatted them with AppleWorks 2.0 on the IIc. The SE/30 is running System 7.1 with update 3. It gives me the option of 800 kb or PC 720 kb when I format a disk with it. 

I was hoping to be able to use my SE/30 as a stepping stone to get software for my Apple IIc, but I seem to have run into a compatibility problem. I'm using DS/DD 3.5" disks, but 800 kb disks formatted on the Unidisk 3.5 attached to my IIc are not recoginsed by the SE/30 and vice versa. Does...

Mine has a big plastic box that looks like this, but with the printing scrapped off: http://www.tnrbattery.com/55615-703-012-3-v-150h-3-6v-varta-mempac-battery/ They are still available for about $12, so it looks like that will be a good route to go.

Thanks! Reseating the card seems to have done the trick. Everything is working great! Now I just have to figure out how to replace the clock battery . . .

Yeah, the z-ram card is installed.  I don't have a ProDOS disk, but the utilities disk loads up and will let me exit to dos.  If I understand the label correctly, that is ProDOS based.  Many of the program disks I have work, which makes me wonder if the problems I am seeing are due to disk...

I know I have AppleWorks 2.0, and I think there is also a copy of 1.1. I don't have any of the Applied Engineering disks, so I guess I will need to dig up some images of that.  Do you know which versions of AppleWorks are compatible with ram cards?

I picked up an Apple IIc this week with a monitor, external 3.25 floppy, mouse, a fist-full of disks, and all the original paperwork, as the price was too good to pass up on.  Up to now my only experience with Apple computers are Macintosh and newer, so there is a bit of a learning curve with...

So, anyone have an idea on what is going on here: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/261910330019?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Is this a modification or a weird factory special? I was just wondering the other day if it would be possible to convert one of my compact macs...

Thanks for all the advice and help!

Okay, as an update -- success! Lido worked like magic.  In fact, it worked so quickly (a minute or two?) I was afraid it didn't do the job at first.  OS is installed, and it works fantastic. Now all I need is a quieter fan .....

Thanks.  I will give that a try tonight.  Last night after I posted my question I tinkered a bit more and the patched version of HD SC Setup ran for 25 minutes -- long enough to give me hope - before it crapped out again with the error message "The disk could not be initialized.  Format...

Well, my new SCSI2SD arrived today (the new small board), and I have spent the entire evening trying to get it to work with either my SE/30 or Classic II.  At first, neither machine would even recognize it was there until I updated the firmware.  Now, while they can see it, HD SC Setup won't...

MODE32 is installed. 

So, I upgraded the ram in my recently acquired SE/30 to 32 mb . . . and it is only reporting 28 mb.  I take it the likely cause is a bad SIMM, but I don't have another 4 mb SIMM to swap out and test it.  Are there any utilities I could use to test this? Is anything else likely to be the cause...

Hmm.  So perhaps not particularly useful to me then. I junked all my old monitors years ago except one for my ti99.

I just picked up an SE/30 and it came with a mystery expansion card . . . it is marked with MoDAM SE030 Rev C  1989 Memory Plus, and has a DB 9 port.  Anyone have an idea what this thing might be? Is it useful?  Does it need drivers? Unfortunately, the SE/30 has a dead hard drive, so there are...
