Is there some kind of memory test I can do?  Not sure if this model tests the memory on startup or not. 

Unless I am missing something, plenty of memory available. 

I've got a 540c in very good shape with 20MB ram.  It seems that most programs give me the "not enough free memory" error.  For example, running fetch 2.12. It is running 7.6.1 and the OS is only using 3 Megs and change, so memory is definitely not an issue. The memory control panel does not...

But it appears to be only a DIY option.  I personally like the option that I can just order.

I think you can, ahem, print out a printer information page that will tell you. :)

@olePigeon are you sure it isn't a plus already?  I think very few of these weren't upgraded as the upgrade made so much sense.  All 6 of mine are pluses. 

Thanks for the tip on the foam.  Probably some glue backed foam strips can be had to replace those strips I would imagine.  I know there is at least one set of new rollers in the set of parts.  I had always intended to use those as samples to find new roller rubber, or get some made.  I'm going...

That was me.  I inventoried the stuff recently. I also some years back started buying LW and LW Plus toner cartriges from eBay when they were for sale on the cheap.  I have no idea if these things will work after many years, but I have 15 or so of them in my basement.  Now I just need to get...

You might consider the firmware version.  With the SCSI2SD v5.0 Powerbook version, I discovered a problem with firmware past a certain version that prevented just about any copying.  When I revert back to the older firmware, it works fine.  Might be a similar issue with the v6.

You got a link for those @ScutBoy?

Yea, I got some from eBay a few months ago and had no luck with my 2.5" hard drives.  You mean this one, right? https://www.datastoragecables.com/scsi/internaladapters/sca80/SM-028.html

Well here is the next stupid shipping tricks.  I bought a pristine looking 475 mostly for the top case.  It got completely destroyed during shipping.  The guy just put it in a box about the length and width of the LC and then put some styrofoam on the top and bottom of it, but not enough to fill...

Here is the page from Macos9lives.com: http://macos9lives.com/smforum/index.php?topic=2408.0 I have two Mini G4's sitting under my primary desk with a KVM on a single monitor.  One is running System 9 and the other 10.4 with classic.  They are pretty awesome little systems. 

@JDW mine is still sitting in the box, yet to be used.  I bought it mainly to be able to write PC floppies for my MacCharlie to run.  I've always heard it is a bit of a learning curve to get to know how to use it, so perhaps that has kept me from running with it.  Please post any tips.  As far...

Yea, looking forward to getting a copy @olePigeon if you upload it.

Seems like this would be easy to find, but I am stumped.  How can I select the startup volume (multiple partitions on a single SCSI ID) at startup on an SE/30?  I've got a damaged system folder on the first partition and a new 7.1 install on the second. 

I have one and love it.  Much easier to archive directly to my modern Mac and now with HD floppy support it is really useful.  It is faster workflow wise than using a vintage mac for a large number of floppies and works for Apple II as well so it is my one stop preservation shop.

I’m going to venture a guess that your monitors aren’t able to handle the video settings.  I had a similar problem with a IIci and not until I hooked an Apple CRT to it did I see a picture.  But of course that doesn’t explain the lost cursor, so maybe that’s not the issue.

What driver would one use to print to such a printer from System 7 say?  Would it just be the standard LaserWriter driver?
