@BacioiuC -Did your video card end up being a Grand Vimage 24-16? I've got one myself in my SE/30, the thing is sweet!

@Macobyte -they're the best. I've had the least compatibility issues with them. Occasionally you see one pop up on Buyee: https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/v1059621868?conversionType=buyee_top_browsing_history

@Macobyte- I do. I have had similar issues trying to get a RasterOps 264/30 to work with an accelerator card in my SE/30. My current setup is an SE/30 with one of Bolle's adapters (the tall one with the integrated NIC), a Daystar 68030 50mhz and an Interware GrandVimage video card. All of...

Correction: I meant to add that after programing the SCSI2SD with the utility, it then works on pretty much any SCSI-based Mac with little to no issues. Like most folks here, I've found the SCSI2SD drives to be game-changers with classic Macs.

I'm talking about the Windows utility that I and many other use to program the standard SCSI2SD devices. Here's a picture of it in action: Usually what I do is plug the SCSI2SD device into my Windows computer, assign it a SCSI ID, assign it a device size, and it works. This utility doesn't...

I bought a ZuluSCSI V1.1 about a month ago and am finally getting around to setting it up for installation in a Macintosh SE/30. I bought it with the assumption that I would be able to set it up just like a standard SCSI2SD drive-using the scsi2sd utility for Windows (via USB) with it's easy to...

I do like that it even comes with an authentic Panasonic tape recorder!

I second that. There was no way one thin layer of bubble wrap was going to protect that! Even three layers of bubble wrap wasn't enough for me.

I shipped out a similar machine (eBay auction) a few years ago- a Performa 575- and also learned the hard way just how difficult it is to ship one of those old all-in-one Macs! I think that the trick is to put the machine monitor-down in the shipping box.....after you've laid down a boat load...

@mac_enthusiast -Yes, I could still get the computer to boot-just with a few less accessories. I agree with Joynnya101, sometimes a bad PSU can exhibit itself as several different symptoms. Long and short of it, if you do have access to another Mac SE or SE/30, try using the power supply from...

I use a service called Fastmail for my email. And one of the coolest things I accidentally discovered about it is that it can make websites that are viewable on your classic Mac! I also like the fact that it is not a Google product, but I digress. When you sign up for an email account with...

@mac_enthusiast -I wonder if your problem doesn't have anything to do with the card, but possibly the output voltage from your power supply? I was having a similar problem with my SE/30; for a while, it worked fine with a network card, Daystar 030 accelerator, and a Grand Vimage video card...

Congrats on the find @Skate323k137 ! Other than the yellowing, the setup looks like it is in great cosmetic shape. It's a good candidate for retrobriting!

Here's a screen shot of the information from Snooper, although it is erroneously reporting that the card is running at 43Mhz (it isn't, just 16Mhz): System Info: And yes, the sound works great, tested with a round of "Creepy Castle!": Oddly enough, the MicroMac uses a driver that was made...

Hey @Sedorikku-taouno -Well, for just a little bit, I was able to get 16mb of RAM working on my NewLife accelerator! And now when I try to use it, every time I boot the computer in gives me a finder error. Go figure..... The good news is that I was able to get one of my other accelerators to...

@MOS8_030: I've seen other who have gotten 16mb of RAM to work with their SE's. My guess is that the firmware on the accelerator card make the machine 32-bit clean, thus giving it the ability to use more RAM....but I'm not sure.

However, I have never as of yet been able to get it to recognize more than 4mb of RAM. I actually have three different accelerators for the SE that can accept (theoretically) up to 16mb of RAM, but I've never been able to get any of them to recognize more than 4mb, no matter what type of RAM...

@Sedorikku-taouno: I've got a Newlife accelerator as well, and I can confirm that yes indeed, that is a co-processor slot! Here's a shot of mine with the co-processor installed:

@Franklinstein -Thanks! Yea, my biggest concern was the pinout compatibility. I think that I found the same eBay auction that Verault did- some guy selling the NCR 5380 -40 SCSI chips. But I also found someone selling L5380JC-2 chips made by Logic Devices, and was unsure if those would work...

@olePigeon -I usually get an email notification before my stuff gets delivered asking me if I want contact-less delivery. I electronically sign the email form, and they leave my stuff on the front porch without me ever having to interact with anyone. So far, I haven't had any problems...
