Strange issue here...maybe someone can help. I have an internal SCSI2SD on my Mac SE FDHD. All was fine in the world and the Mac would boot from the SCSI2SD SD card with no issues. Today, I turn the Mac SE on and I get a blinking question mark. Strange... so I boot the Mac from a floppy Systems...

Good on you for getting this Mac back up and running again. I had a similar basket case Mac (a damaged Mac SE/30).  It was a lot of fun to work on. All it needs now is a logic board.

I enjoyed watching the video. You did a great job explaining your approach. I look forward to seeing Part 2!

Nice work! 

I thought it might be fun to see how many Apple IIGS users lurk on this forum. I'm sharing my setup, which consists of: Woz edition Apple IIGS (purchased new in the fall of 1987), upgraded to ROM 1 2 working 3.5" floppy drives (800K) and one faux floppy (case only - on top) TurboIDE card...

Mouser.com sells UE8's. Not sure how to advise on the lifted pads. I have a "basket-case" SE/30 board that's in much worse shape that I've given up on because there were many traces eaten and a few pads lifted. Good luck!

I’m trying to maintain a solid FTP  connection between the SE/30 and my modern Mac, even when both machines are idling. It seems that the connection lasts for about 10 minutes or so before the SE/30 is disconnected from the MBP.    Ultimately, what I want to do is directly pull .hqx and...

It's more of a timeout / idle connection. I'm able to pull large files down to the Mac SE/30 with no issue. I just want the connection to stay active, even if I'm not actively downloading / uploading something at the moment. 

The Mac SE/30 still shows on the local network with no issues, so I'm guessing it's something with the IP layer?

Thanks! For me, it's not a deal breaker (I don't mind the bluish tint) but it seems noticeable since I have an SE sitting right next to it. Might have to move 'em to different parts of my room :D  

I may have to upgrade to 7.5.5. I'm also going to pick up a ROM-inator II. What are some of the things you recommend doing with it?

AppleShare over AppleTalk appears rock solid. It's only Ethernet...

1) Is there any way to adjust the slightly bluish tint I'm seeing on my SE/30 display (i.e. white colors are not pure white). I have an SE FDHD next to it and its display is showing true grayscale. I've cranked the SE/30's brightness as high is it will go using the knob on the front bezel. 2)...

Loved the write-up! Glad the SE is up and running again! I had a similar exploded battery situation on a derelict Mac SE/30. Its chassis had a lot of rust from the Maxell explosion, with some collateral damage on the floppy drive cage. I recommend dunking the chassis in a vat of apple cider...

The video is listed as "private". Would love to watch it.

I bought a v5.5 a month ago, and I really like it! It's super convenient to use between multiple Macs. 

Impressive! A night and day difference! What method of Retrobrite did you use?

Can you test the voltage levels of the PSU separately? If you are getting the proper voltage levels there, check the voltage levels from the fan to ground on the analog board. Next, measure the voltages coming from the analog board to the logic board. Let us know what you find. Good luck!

Fascinating photos. Thank you for sharing!

Welcome! Very impressive collection!
