Hey, everybody. While I'm in the process of repairing an SE/30 logic board (SCSI failure), I figure now or never would be a good time to post here for reference of this kind of data. Basically, which pins on the NCR/Zilog 53C80 SCSI Controller Chip link up to where on that logic board. I've...

Okay, I had completed a recap of the logic board for member of this forum. New capacitors in place and thoroughly cleaned of debris. I go to attach the board to my test chassis for the 24 hour test, turn it on, I hear the normal startup tone, hard drive booting the machine up, but no normal...

Okay, this totally sucks. The analog board on my SE converted to an SE/30 has possibly bitten the dust. It must be the vertical sweep IC (U2) that failed or something else. It suddenly began showing a black screen with a bright single horizontal line and now is just a blank screen. Looking...

I am working on an SE/30 logic board. I've got it recapped and is showing normal operation symptoms. But when I connect an internal SCSI hard drive, it displays just the mouse cursor and a light gray background. When I disconnect the SCSI data cable (between the drive and the logic board), it...

Hello, everyone! Just a friendly note to send to all of you whom own a Macintosh with PCI expansion bus. Just this past week, I've found that all the bus slots on my Power Mac 7500 suddenly stopped working. I couldn't recognize ANY cards that I plugged in when I knew they worked in the past...

I went to turn it on a few minutes ago and got no sign of life. No display, no startup tone, no click noise, no fan. I will provide voltage readings in a short while, when I get back from work. Does anyone have a spare working PSU you are willing to part with? The original is a SONY model...

Okay. I've got a Power Macintosh 7500 (see signature) with a 68-pin Ultra 160 SCSI LVD/SE Adaptec controller card. The model number of the card is AHA-2940U2B. It says on a label/sticker "MAC APPLE"; plus I know this card works on the PM, as it has in the past for me. I'm trying to attach a...

Hey, everybody! I just wanted to let you know that I am taking clients who would like to have their SE/30 logic boards recapped. I have all the tools I need to get the job done in a semi-professional way. If you are interested, or have other model boards in need of soldering, desoldering...

Yes, it's true. Even I am human. For those who don't know, I run the sound, lighting and technology department at a local church. I have been using my Pismo (under OS 9.2.2 with Coaster 1.1.3) to record the audio of the Sunday morning church services. I usually just patch right out of the...

Well, this was totally unexpected. I'm in the process of changing the layout of my room. I decided to arrange my desk so that I place my Pismo on the rolling shelf, more suited for keyboards and mice. I wasn't going to mind running the laptop with the lid opened to its full extent, while...

I will be very soon getting a new laptop (PowerBook G3 Pismo) and it may not include the OSX Install disc(s). I know I have a spare set of PowerBook G4 12" Install CDs with OSX Panther included with it. I was hoping someone out there knew of a way to successfully extract the OSX install from...
