Hi, I am new to networking compact Macs with localtalk. I have installed network software installer 1.4.4 and MacTCP 2.0.6 on both an SE and SE/30. I've connected a printer cable between both printer ports. I was able to configure addresses but for some reason, there is no AppleTalk icon in the...

oh yes, I definitely replaced the gears long ago… That's all good. Just curious about the capacitor situation with these. Thanks.

Feels great to look down at that evil lithium battery and get it the heck out after 30+ years before inevitable disaster. - 25v Polymer Tantalum Caps - New Radial Caps - Rominator II - 128mb RAM (originally 2mb) - CR2032 Battery - BlueSCSI v.2 I think that's all I can do ??

I may swap the analog boards. That would at least tell me if it's something on the neck board or CRT vs the analog board.

I took my SE FDHD out of the closet and the focus control is definitely more responsive than the one on my SE/30. So the mystery remains.

I re-did all the solder joints around that resistor and the potentiometers... I think I understand better now. Unless I'm mistaken, the focus is somewhat subtle? I can see that if I turn it one way, it gets a out of focus in the corners, but is in focus in the center and the opposite is true...

R26 is showing 1.02 megaohms of resistance. What else might it be?

just being sure… It says 1/2 watt on the schematic?

ok thanks again.

Also, at a glance, it looks like this resistor would affect the brightness as well as the focus circuit? The brightness potentiometer is working fine. Could R26 still be the culprit? Thanks.

sweet that is exactly the answer I'm looking for. Thank you very much.

Currently in the back of a bus rding to a music performance so I can't send pics.... I just mean the focus control is unresponsive. Is there any common reason for this?

Hi, Although I've got everything (logic, analog and psu boards) recapped and working properly, I noticed that the Focus potentiometer on the analog board does nothing. The screen is reasonably in focus but I'm still wondering if this is something I can fix? Possibly as simple as a resistor on...

as far as I can tell, those scanlines tend to be some kind of ground issue. In my case, the power supply. but I wouldn't claim to know enough about it to be certain.

yeah, I did fix it. It turned out after all of that that the ground wire in the power supply was poorly soldered or connected. I resoldered it, and everything was back to normal. That power supply happened to be the Astec so I took out the three RIFA caps and that did not really have any...

tantalum polymer recap axial recap 128 MB ram Rominator II CR2032 battery (analog board and psu recapped) (bluescsi II / floppy drive restored) did I forget anything?

I apologize if this has been covered somewhere but I'm having a heck of a time finding good newbie advice for getting them to talk to each other. Is this something that can be done with localtalk/Appletalk with a simple serial connection (just the two computers) or does it require phonenet...

yeah, I must've had the wrong version or something. The link above is the one.

That's it! Thanks!

How can I make my SE (System 6.0.8) speak text? Ideally in the classic "sure is great to get out of that bag" voice. I've tried MacinTalk and SmoothTalker but the voices are not great in my opinion. Thanks.
