Beginning of 10.5.5 install.

Further building, the power supply arrived today, so this is what I've got so far. First off, I wanted to utilize the Plus' original power switch, power outlet, and battery. I did this to allow the machine to look stock from the outside. (As I post further build steps it will become obvious...

Here are some rough measurements of the CRT, based on the manufactures provided dimensions for the exterior of the housing. Depth isn't shown, but the documentations says that this monitor is only 200 cm deep. Thats only 7 7/8th inches!

Here is the link to the monitor that will be serving as the donor for the CRT http://www.vibrantepos.co.uk/products_crt_vs10s.php (link dead - see archive copy) It looks as if the monitor has a very similar curve profile to the existing crt. I have not trimmed from the front of the Plus...

The machine will never, ever see windows. Leopard it will be. In response to your second question, I won't be using a flat panel, but a good old fashioned 10" color CRT that I ordered from japan. I'll be running Logic 8.

It took several weeks to source all the parts, but I think I've done it. The hardest part was locating the 10" color crt capable of displaying 1024x768 that was short enough to fit in the case, I finally found one, so the mod is underway. Specs. Intel Atom core 2 running at 2 ghz. 2gb ram...

The holy grail of 68k macs arrived at my doorstep today. Cost was 40 bucks for the machine, and 30 for shipping. Booted right into os8. Surfs the internet, cool little box. I'm going to use it for screengrabs of my other machines. -Patrick

For a... 512k, Plus, SE, SE FDHD, Classic II, SE/30, ][, IIc, two Mac IIsi, a monitor for the C, the E, and one each for the SIs Also, about 200 books, I would say about 90 percent of what was published for the mac until the powerpc era. The dead mac scrolls, the complete apple technical set...

I put the background up on my website. Just for you folks.

I picked this up in the trading post from thisoldmacsupport. He had it listed for parts, as it wouldn't boot. The pram battery was dead and the hard drive fried. After several hours (about 8) I ended up with this. I'm phyched, even though it takes hours of work and carefully consumed...

I'll pay dearly for some 5 1/2 copies of gs os and oregon trail!

Lol, yes, the se/30. I must have been tired, the se has... drumroll please... 1mb.

Well, 8-) I got the SE/30 up and running, even visited google with it in netscape 4.4 Thanks a lot for the dishwashing trick, It worked wonders. -Patrick

I need to browse the web with it.... Well, I don't. But I want to.. I'm going to try to see if I can live with this machine as my full time rig for a month... I would really like to see the SE/30 in absolutely peak form... Constrained only by its motherboard. A daystar socket and a micron...

Well, I broke down and bought both, I also picked up a copy of sytem 6.0.2 still in shrinkwrap. I cracked both apart... I get the SimasiMac herringbone pattern at startup with the SE/30 with the rom, and without the rom, with the ram, and without the ram, with the nic, and without the nic, and...

Good to know, another question. Can I surf the tubes at all with an SE fdhd with an internal ethernet card, can I get a browser on there?

Hi there, I have an opportunity to pick up a sensi'd SE/30 and a pristine SE FDHD tomorrow at a local shop for 50 bucks altoghether. The shop says that the SE/30 needs the ROM reseated. I was under the impression that sensimac was cause by more sinister causes, like leaky caps. My questions...
