While i realize that i'm now necro-posting on an old thread, i had the same issue and also found the solution to it (for any future readers benefit). You have to alter the "Gestald ID" (https://www.bigmessowires.com/mac-se30-with-upgraded-rom/) using a resource editor most likely. I had to do it...

Would a SWIM from a II work in the SE/30?

I connected it with a bluescsi external unit yesterday, with a system 7.5.3 bootable image as scsi id 1 (and a few other images on different ids for different devices). This time i did not get the crossed floppy icon any more, but it just stayed on the gray screen with the mouse-pointer (which i...

Thx cheesestraws. Your guess here is very likely 10 times more relevant than mine imho :) I'm quite the rookie when it comes to this. But yeah, even with the floppy disconnected it will give that cross (and it wont boot from either internal HDD or without internal connected but with external...

No one here ever had issues where the screen showed an icon with a crossed out icon inside it?

My SE/30 have given up its geist (hopefully it can be sorted) recently. It has been running for 3+ years, since it had a full mainboard recap. ~4 month ago, it stopped booting, telling me it had a bus error (from what i could find out, it was at the part in the boot-sequence when it tried to...

I got the z53C8003VSG in the end.

Small update. I swapped out the BMOW and swapped in the original SE/30 rom (and inserted 4x1mb ram instead of the 86 (something) i usually run with. Now the boot is different: - i get the chime - mouse works all the time - FDD tries to read the floppy - then it gets to the SCSI init-phase and...

Hi macintosh2002, following (have the exact same issue with my se/30) (https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/se-30-subject-to-analog-board-recap-but-decided-not-to.46864/#post-524503)

Thx Callan. I checked it and it was snug. But i also found the issue. The P1 connection towards the analog board was not fully inserted ( :oops: ) and when ensuring that it was in fully, the image is now back to normal again :) But i still have the freeze up issue (where the mouse pointer will...

Hi, got it (and i appreciate the input :)). I'm quite sure that i did not damage anything (solder-wise) when taking it apart. What i'm not so sure about (but will find out tomorrow) is if i did not reinsert the "suction cup" thingy properly (or for that matter, the pcb connecting to the yoke on...

Started out as a PC geek but have with age started to use vintage Macs. Currently own and use PB190, PB170 and SE/30. From Stockholm/Sweden

I guess this would qualify as some sort of sequel to a part #1 (here: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/se-30-recap-with-lifted-pad.37469/#post-405579) To recap. I have owned this particular machine for a long time. ~4 years ago, i got the simasi pattern and did the full logic board...

Hi moldy, yes, i can definitely confirm that the old daughter card works with the new PDS/main card, as does the new daughter card :) Oh, and super interesting that you mentioned having a 10-base-t in between - when i wrestled with this issue on the "old" card, i kept reading that it needed...

Hi, to the responders above - i'm terribly sorry for my long delay in responding but i thank you for your replies earlier :) . During this time, i got hold of another Asante NIC that actually worked. But out of curiousity i tried to determine if it was the PDS card itself causing the issues or...

Hi PotShotScott and Elfen, I'm extremely glad to hear that it "only" affects the sound of the machine. Knowing this, i can always use a bodge-wire to connect them later on. Thanks also for the superb schematics.

Hi, My SE/30 started to show the "simasimac" lines last week. It displayed them for 6-8 minutes after which it gave the beep and started up normally. Reading about this told me that it was time for a re-cap. so i recapped my SE/30 today after receiving a recap-kit yesterday. It was somewhat...

Hi fellow retro mac enthusiasts  :) Do you know if it is common (??) for a Asante MacCon to break/cease to function? I bought such a card from Italy quite some time ago, but have never been able to get it to work properly (on 6.0.8, 7.0.1, 7.1 and now 7.5.3 inside an SE/30). I think i have...
