Alright, wow, thanks everyone! Consensus seems to be on the analog board, at least so far. I think the caps are original on it, but there's not odd smell or anything. When I have more time (likely this weekend) I can open my other SE and switch the analog boards/PSU to see if the problem...

So, I was pulling out my favorite SD, my FDHD model. I haven't used it at all this month because I've been so busy with other projects. And now, an old problem I thought was gone is back. Essentially, I flip the switch and it doesn't start up right away. Rather than describe the symptoms I'll...

I installed 8.1 via CF on my 5300cs, and it worked fine. I used linux's standard formatting utility to write the iso to it and it just worked fine. Later I reformatted it with 0s to get the capacity back. You shouldn't run into any trouble.

So, in my lot of Apple stuff I got a few weeks ago, there was an Apple Keyboard II. I initially ignored it since it was in a carry bag with a Classic and I assumed it was fine. My attention was going towards fixing the Apple Keyboard I with stuck keys I also got. Now that I've resolved that...

Huh, I've got the near same issue, in a way. Apart from the volume not scaling, I think it's more of the Mac expecting speakers as opposed to modern headphones. I can adjust the volume on my SE through headphones. I did the same just the other day. Standard apple earbuds nearly burst my...

I had a similar issue with my Mac SE Superdrive. Since it has 1.44 MB floppies I'd just use HFV Explorer on Windows or something along that to place files using an external USB drive. Or, you could just write a downloaded boot image for system 7 to the disk, which you can do from Mac or Linux.

Hi everyone, So, I've got a nice 5300cs that until fairly recently was running on a CF card in a PC card adapter. However, the friend who gave them to me found an urgent need for them back and I returned it after restoring the files on it. Point is, I'm now on the internal drive of my 5300 and...

Small thread bump; I've got a 5300 with a dead battery I'd like to rebuild but want the case intact. Found a thread on the top of a google search but most of the attached images are gone by now. Maybe something will help you in there, certainly given me some ideas...

I'm not entirely sure, but I think I remember hearing somewhere that SE's need ram with 8 or 9 chips per piece as opposed to two or three, so that very well could be it. I think you could try the configuration with the two 1MB sticks with the right number of chips in the back two positions, and...

I'm using HFV explorer on Windows 10 64Bit. I haven't had any trouble reading or writing floppies in it. It works pretty well for archiving, although most of the time I just make bit for bit .img files in Linux. Still, the program works well for me. I think you can read CDs by Apple, I haven't...

Wow, that's a whole lot of helpful info. I actually picked up the monitor today and it powers on fine (light comes on and you can hear the CRT) but there's nothing on the screen. Makes sense since I haven't got anything to hook up to it. Just.in.time, thanks for the insight. Im sorta...

EDIT: just found out it's an AppleColor RGB display. That's for the IIGS, which I've heard had different video. Does that mean I can't use it with the SE?

So, I might be getting a decently sized conquest of Mac stuff this weekend from trades. There'll probably be a post from me in that section around Satueday, but for now I've got a question. Among this lot is a Macintosh Color Display, the 640x480 CRT. From what I've heard and read, the only...

Glad to hear 8.6 runs pretty well on the 5300cs, once I get another CF card I'll probably be installing that. Probably won't go to OS9. If I find a good deal on multiples, I may also get a 4GB card for 7.5.5 too along with the bigger one I'm going to try to get. If only cards and adapters...

My 20MB miniscribe is red, my Quantum 500MB that's currently in it is yellow. If I ever get around to retrobriting the case, a blue LED does sound nice, but for now yellow matches the beigeish color it is. I'd also be interested in LED voltages, there are quite a few interesting possibilities...

This was all very interesting to hear; I didn't expect it to be feasible, really. Even the 5300 starts lagging a little when working with music playing... I was mainly curious because a friend asked me if if was possible to play Macintosh Plus (Electronic music called vaporwave for those who...

Thanks for your advice, both of you. It appears the 4GB card partitioned and ran 7.5.5 perfectly so getting a second one of that size is an option. The main reason I hesitated to install 8.5/8.6 and play around with it was because of the time it took to get everything configured. Does anyone...

This may not be the answer you're looking for but it's the closest thing in my opinion. I've managed to run OS 9.2.2 using SheepShaver, a PowerPC emulator for Linux. I ran into a lot of problems compiling it with the git from the website they host, but now that it's working I could send you the...

I realize I've made quite a few threads for my 5300, and this is my last major question for now. I'm mainly asking because I've gotten conflicting information from across the internet. My friend called me to tell me he needs the CF card back for a system that needs it, so I had to pull it out...

Thanks much for your help; I'll probably just stick with Sheepshaver for now, the G5 served as a daily useachine for years and the hard drive is full of data. Getting a dedicated OS9 computer would be great; I'd absolutely love a Graphite iMac, but I highly doubt I'll ever find one and I'd have...
