As requested. These settings work perfectly in my LC475, FWIW.

Thanks for chiming in. SCSI2SD is set to the defaults, if anyone has better suggestions then I'll try them immediately. Appreciate the link; the poster said that they tried 6.2.9 which worked fine; I was already on 6.3.1 but dropped it back down to 6.2.9, but that didn't make a difference for me.

Run out of ideas on this one. No matter what I do, my SE/30 gives me 'address error' when I'm trying to install anything. I've tried multiple SD cards in my SCSI2SD, and according to MacCheck, the RAM is fine. It will also do the same thing whilst trying to initialize the HDD, with Finder or...

And now for something I really didn't need and spent too much money on. SE/30 in 'extra mature' yellow. 4MB RAM, 20MB HDD (working!), currently running 6.0.8 but that'll change. It's a little 'used' cosmetically but nothing above some light scrapes and general yellowing. The seller claims it's...

Let's see if it works first. That'll decide it's fate. Then I can go about making it look pretty less beaten up. 

I do have the power button and the CDROM bezel, except they require some attention from some glue. I'll put it all back together properly if the machine turns out to work.

Starting a generic thread because I have a feeling it's going to grow. Time for the first entry in 'tales from Paulie's living room floor'. So it was a productive weekend in terms of beige Macintosh acquisition. After losing out on a decently spec'd but overpriced LC475 on eBay due to the...

That's that sorted out. 

Basically I got jealous of other user's iBooks, and wanted my own one. Got it reasonably cheap and it's in pretty good condition. Currently loaded with 10.1 but am planning on making it 9.2.2 only. Has 128MB RAM but I have a 512MB stick ready to go in.

May be an obvious question, but does it chime if you plug headphones into it? Mine doesn't chime (I think the speaker is dying/dead), although occasionally it makes a weird garbled sound. The chime comes through fine through the headphone socket, though.

No it's not, it's a badge engineered LC at best  :p

Nice. Very tempted to picking up one of these myself for a OS9 machine too.

Would it be helpful to meet up (once lockdown is over, of course) and I'll bring my working LC475 and we can swap out parts until we find the culpit? I'll take that Power Mac off your hands too...

At this rate, I'll have bought and rebuilt a whole army of 90s Macs before lockdown ends! I'm hoping to pick up an SCSI2SD at the end of the month (if the board doesn't work, at least I have one for the next machine (uh oh  :lol: )). But fair point; I mean there must be a reason why this machine...

At least you're all safe. And to be fair, it was always a case of when, not if, the SCSI disk would fail, so the earthquake has just helped the process along a bit.

I honestly worried about doing the recapping a lot more than I should have. I found the trick was just taking my time and thinking about what I was doing. I found that the most stressful part was removing the old capacitors. Putting on the new ones was easy; trim down the legs, and then hold...

Thanks, that was exactly what I needed! PROGRESS REPORT TIME. One of the things I ordered from eBay was a soldering kit (all of £20, bargain). I have done soldering in the past, just on electric guitar wiring that doesn't have to be that precise. A couple of nights back, in general lockdown...

Actual progress has occurred! The VGA adapter finally arrived today, so even though I know the machine is in bad shape; I optimistically hooked it up to the TV in the living room (it was closest) and through the very scientific process of flipping the dip-switches randomly until something...

Time for an update. No actual progress on the LC475 itself, however some of the fruits of my recent overspending on eBay have started coming in. I don't actually have any ADB peripherals, so reckoned I needed a mouse and keyboard. So instead of my idea of just spending a couple of quid to get...

I wasn't planning to, but looked into this today for a laugh. The issue I've hit upon is that I can't find any sort of pinout diagrams for the power supply. There's a 4-pin Molex (that's obvious), a 14 pin, and a little ribbon cable which appears to have six wires going through it. If I could...
