Try doing a PRAM reset. - Restart the TAM - Immediately after the startup tone, press and hold down Apple (Command) + Option + P + R. Hold them down for 3 chimes, then let go. Replace the PRAM battery with a Ray-o-vac Alkaline 4.5v Model #870 or 871 (or equivalent). Radio $hack should carry...

Fyi, Dog Cow - If you need to, you can get replacement power adapters from PowerBook Medic for around $25 USD. They are sold in the same black config as a 1400 adapter. Also try ebay and the like. Also, when the connector on the yo-yo power adapter for my Pismo shorted out, I thought I'd try...

Hey guys! Just thought I'd jump in. To clarify, yes, I can still offer my services, even though I'm having technical problems with my only SE/30 which has been used to test logic boards. The problem I'm having is with the analog board. Lately it has been giving me a black screen with a...

I second that as well for me, since I am voluntarily recapping logic boards quite often. 73s de Phreakout. :rambo:

First off, '.smi' stands for Self-Mounting Image file. It requires Disk Copy 6.x.x or higher to open up, which System 7.5.x or higher should be able to handle. If Disk Copy is having trouble trying to open, try increasing the memory allocated for it by selecting Disk Copy and 'Get Info'; then...

Wait. You say you have a G4? What type, a Power Mac, iMac, etc.? If one of the first two, try installing the drive inside the G4 machine, run OS X and then try applying the patch. I'm saying this just in case Patch Burn isn't playing nice with external burners. 73s de Phreakout. :rambo:

Here is an excerpt from the FAQs under Jaguar (OSX 10.2.x) installation and PatchBurn 1.1: Q: I can not find my drive in the right list. Which one should I choose? A: Keep in mind: the right column shows a list of drivers already installed in your system. PatchBurn 1.1 replaces one of theses...

Macguy, You may need to "patch" the driver, in order for it to work under Tiger. I'd recommend trying this. I've used it on my Pismo under OSX Panther with a tray-loading Combo drive in the expansion bay. It did exactly as it said after I patched everything. Be sure to read through the...

I sent you a private message (PM). Check your mailbox. 73s de Phreakout. :rambo:

It could be that the System folder wasn't properly "blessed" when it was created. Here's how you "bless" the System folder: Step 1.) Insert the floppy containing the System folder or Disk Tools floppy on another Mac already running System 7.x.x. Step 2.) Open up the floppy's disk (Cmd + O)...

Actually, it is a problem with the Power Management Unit (PMU) needing to be reset. The PMU is really a separate computer within itself. When it gets corrupted or out of sync, it causes problems with normal operation. One thing to remember, that is the PMU is corrupted, it will cause the PRAM...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_7#PC_compatibility That should pretty much explain it. 73s de Phreakout. :rambo:

Off Topic: (jsarchibald) - Yeah, I happen to see you post that in another thread and thought it was rofl. Is it okay that I use it in my signature area? If not, I'll remove it. Your welcome, btw. On topic, somewhat: (Everyone else) - I'm willing to accept all possible answers. Some of what...

Okay, my last 2 comments were basically a ranting over the fact that it is simple common sense when you design something. Steve Wozniak put chip sockets on the Apple II series because he didn't want to waste time desoldering faulty ICs from the PCB. Adding sockets would take him less than a...

Can you describe in good detail what you did as far as washing the board in a dishwasher? I'm intrigued to maybe try it myself. Since I started this recapping business, I've been a bit fearful of damaging boards using this cleaning process, so I resorted to using a small wire brush and pick...

yoyomac, Yes, I have had some marginal success in resurrecting a Simasimac-prone SE/30 logic board by replacing the Bourns filter. But the replacement doesn't work for every single board; only a select few that have been recapped by me needed their RP2 replaced. I ended up salvaging...

Well, 8 units of 16 megabytes (MB) will give you the maximum of 128 MB and 8 units of 4 megabytes gives you about 32 MB. You can throw in the maximum it can support, but be sure you do two things: 1.) Have the system extension file called "Mode32" placed inside the Extensions folder within the...

If you install that new drive into your SE/30, you shouldn't have to do anything further. Now, what could happen is it will either boot into System 7.5.5, like you mentioned, or it will give you a blinking question mark inside a floppy icon. If that happens, then the Mac is having a hard time...

Awesome job, coius! Now the next question: Did you burn any fingers in the process of soldering? Yes, you do get extra points and my full respect from one bench (electronics) technician to another. :o) 8-) 73s de Phreakout. :rambo:

First off, Ruud: Welcome to the 68k Macintosh Liberation Army. We are happy to have you join us. As beachycove has stated, follow the link and it will tell you how to get that SE/30 opened up, plus a lot more. Also, it has 8 RAM slots, capable of handling up to 128 MB RAM maximum. You will...
