Yay! Found a donor board, or rather its current owner, who is relatively local to me, found me! And has built reloaded boards and can assist me down the road. Awesome!

Re: the trash, I kinda like it. the Desktop? Definitely! Will go with period correct background stock photo when I have time to mess with that control panel. I always set a photo when I could. As far as putting a G3 upgrade in, well, I have a Beige G3 266, with an additional backup machine...

Ended up with a Performa 6360 nearly free, along with a purchase of an Apple "Trinitron" CRT and another vintage computer a local seller was offloading very inexpensively before moving. )He even through in a 6116CD with a missing HD for free. I took it because the pizza box case was in good...

And also, I don’t really fully have a donor board yet anyway, other than IIvx bored at my ease for some parts. I’m not that knowledgeable, but that one looks pretty rough so I can see what you are saying. I will go ahead and watch the Caymac vids also. Thanks!

Well, kind of started. Mostly just planning steel and collecting things. And yeah, let’s call me just a complete noob on computer builds, so this is going to be very much a work in progress. I may still hire some of it out. Planning stages still. I said, I might be able to get some help...

Great, thanks! The seller in Japan was helpful too and helped me feel confident that it would work well, so I pulled the trigger.

Ok, needing to figure this out for a 180 MHz 3400c I now have. Along with RAM. Have a line on a Buffalo 128k Ram module I think I am hopping on.

@Phipli Pretty sure it is just the stock Whisper.

Thanks for that! Not sure. I am away from that machine for a few days so will have to look when I get back. Good thought!

Would love anyone's help and/or thoughts in planning out my Mac SE/30 Reloaded build. I purchased from @GreenBar0n his purple Reloaded board he didn't need with these parts: (6) PLCC 20 sockets, (4) PLCC 68 sockets and (1) CPU socket, I have a NOS MC68030RC33B, 33MHz CPU, and I have a...

I have decided that I want my beige G3 desktop to be one of my flagship vintage machines. I just love the ugly old form factor, and the incorporation (first time for me) of color and CD-ROM. And that era was when I committed as a solo lawyer, to the Mac environment for my office, though I was...

I also am interested in these things.

Started following this thread a while back and am still quite interested in the concept. I definitely would like to add a second color monitor to my Mac SE/30, preferring to keep the original monochrome monitor, and the other options are unobtanium at this point. As my computing experience...

Collecting links to software (aforementioned Cubase, Opcode Studio, Opcode EZ-Vision) and some hard ware. Found both the Midiman MacMan, and also an Opcode Studio Pro option in original box with all original stuff, so got both. and a nicer midi controller (area correct Roland with weighted...

To a certain extent, I think I will end up using floppy emu for most things anyway. I think the working floppy drives, as I have the side-by-side that works, and will try to you get one of the 3.5 inch drives working, will just be for novelty or if I happen upon software in those formats.

@volvo242gt OK, I think I see what you are saying. The 3.5 drive I have is labeled Unidisk. Also, I got a second monitor up and running via the A2DVi Card. The other little cheap one I bought at the computer recycler just must have the wrong resolution or doesn’t support the resolution used...

OK, this is all new to me so I will look into that. Can you describe for me the advantages of a Ramworks card though? Also, the machine did come with a working 3.5 inch drive and I thought there was a card for it but maybe I’m wrong. or maybe you were talking about a higher capacity drive...

Yep, from the seller, who is a good guy who, as I said runs a Boise vintage computing club: “Likewise, Steve, glad you've joined us! I picked it up last year from a local guy who is the grandson of the original owner. The original owner was an Apple-certified technician in the 80's and later...
