I'm currently having this same issue with ROMN staying high, and trying to figure out what criteria determine the level of that pin (if GLUE does some kind of logic or just forwards it from somewhere else) or where to walk back on the schematic to check my work. I am not using PLCC sockets or...

(Given the false-positive from not having a proper scope, I wish I could re-title this thread to something more appropriate, so as not to bother people searching for that issue. I know at least one other person was having issues getting the 16 and 32Mhz clocks from GLUE, so it is a real...

Thanks for reminding me about those jumper pads. I saw them on the first day of assembly, then quickly forgot about their purpose. I still do not hear the speaker pop when turning on, nor any kind of chime. My ROMs are the PLCCs with the properly byte-reversed bins from your repo, the V-labeled...

I've seen similar issues to this reported by other people, all of which were usually solved by cleaning and reflowing, but I've now tried so many times that I'm completely stumped and would appreciate expert advice on what to try next. I have a mostly-built SE/30 Reloaded, using this PCB, with...

Ah, thanks for letting me know. At least this makes it less likely GLUE is toast, which would not be fun to desolder again. I tried looking for shorts around VIA1 and VIA2, since those are essential for bringing the machine up, but haven't yet found anything alarming. My PALs are all the...

Have you had any chances to chase this further, or try another GLUE? I am having this exact problem on a rev05 board, and worry mine could also be bad. Everything on the C16M line seems to have the expected continuity. However, I have a second donor board with the CPU removed, and the GLUE on...

Yes, that is a normal chime speed, assuming the routine playing it is the same as the one on the ROMinator Carbon. Some accelerators will even cause the chime, stock or otherwise, to slow down. Given that the slow death chime seemingly disappeared when switching to a BMOW ROM, I don't think...

Is the SiL3112 card in your G3 a newer, cheaper one with no specific branding? I found out the hard way that those have out-of-spec 3.3V VRMs on them. The card would cause my PM7200 to never see other cards and occasionally hang on boot, and it'd cause my G4 to not even display video for the...

My SE/30 logic board (my only LB not washed/recapped solely by me) is riddled with residual corrosion. I can smell it when reflowing. It's my fault for believing the person who sold it was a professional in the first place, but this was ~10 years ago, when I would've made all these same errors...

On both an emulated Q800 and a real IIci, with everything default. I wanted to be sure it wasn't machine-specific.

Is Netscape 3.01 too picky for this? It seems to download the "node" pages fine but won't actually display them. Internet Explorer 3.01a handles everything just fine. Tested both of them on a real IIci and an emulated Quadra 800, to be sure.

I'm almost positive I tried Snooper when working on the same machine that had the RTC issues, and it did not fail any tests. However, I'm not sure exactly which Snooper version I was using. APD's "Logic Board Components" test should finish quickly, unless the RTC test times out and spits out a...

One word of caution about MacTest Pro, though this is purely anecdotal: It does not seem to test the RTC, including the 1hz timer. Apple Personal Diagnostics, despite its vague and unhelpful output messages, does test the RTC. If the clock is running slow, if you notice inconsistencies in cursor...

One of these was the second computer I ever saw, and the first Macintosh, so I have above-average nostalgia for them, too. Especially the way the display would dance around from degaussing, when waking one up.

If the physical connector/pin order is ever the issue, but you know the fan is electrically compatible, you can also use a very small, flat screwdriver to press down on the exposed, angled parts of crimped pins on the new fan's plug, then firmly (not with excessive force that'd rip anything, of...
