That’s normal with that amount of RAM. The boot process does a RAM check. My G3 takes an unsettling amount of time when testing RAM. On the 68k Macs like the SE/30 whose contemporary max was 8MB but with more modern RAM can support up to 128MB, there are ROMs that bypass the RAM checks to...

Did you solve with a bodge wire or did you fix the trace?

PotatoFi has moved to another country and closed his shop. But you can send the models to any online service that offers 3D printing, or find a friend who can print for you.

There are some 8-9" LCD at 1024x768 resolution, that would scale 2X the native 512x384. Not sure if anyone has successfully done so.

Yep. I bought one of the prototypes and have been using it. Detected a bad SCSI chip on a battery-bombed but otherwise ok IIci board. Runs a lot of low level tests (depending on the machine). Documentation here (originally scanned by janjan547)

How did you get the case so nice? Paint? Retro right? Lots of scrubbing?

Cool! Sdcard formatter is a tool that is supposed to better align a raw format to the peculiarities of an SD card. https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/

Did you try formatting the SD card with SD Card Formatter. That has solved a lot of these problems for me.

Those of us with 3d printer’s would love that model too.

I owned a Duo 250 in the day (IMHO the best of the 68K series with a super crisp active LCD in grayscale, and scarce as hens' teeth now), and my understanding is that they wanted you to be able to plug your portable SCSI devices into the Duo Dock and the Mini Dock, on the chance you had HDI-30...

@max1zzz I'd love to see any update on this project!

There's this BOM from @joshc for @Bolle's SE/30 reloaded board. Not sure if it is an exact match for the original board: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CAzGjHxQaQrduQC-hQ8sB2I6Y56fUlCWdJMCUDho0NE/edit#gid=0

You may need to send power to the ZuluSCSI through the floppy-style power socket on the board. IIRC some Macs do not provide enough power on the internal bus. Unless you ordered it presoldered, you will need to solder a Berg socket onto the board where marked (next to the SCSI connector).

With the pins for the connector being surface mount, I'd be concerned about a conductive piece for the clip, so that's why I was leaning towards plastic. I am looking to prototype it in PLA on my 3D printer and once I have that done would have it printed with a more durable/heat resistant plastic.

Cool. Let me know. I am also taking some measurements and seeing if something like the 3d-printed ROM clips developed by @PotatoFi to reinforce the SE/30 ROM slot might work for this application as well.

Just seeing if this actually worked @mg.man I just received a Power Macintosh 7600/132 with a cracked processor slot. Would be great to know if your repair held.

Your best bet is to find a close enough font, take it into a program like Adobe illustrator, put the scan above into a translucent locked layer, on the main layer type G3, adjust size and letter spacing to match the scan as much as possible, then convert to outlines. You can then tweak the...

I have 4 x16 MB OWC SIMMs in Bank A and empty Bank A in my SE/30 with a MacROMINATOR II ROM in the ROM SIMM. Works fine. Have not tested it with the original ROM.

Does it need a driver or just works out of the box?

So, scrape to see if there is any metal underneath? I am very new at this, so pretend you are talking to a complete idiot :-)
