I also have the 2015 i& version of this machine with 8GB RAM and an aftermarket wd black 1TB SSD. I've been using this as my travel/backup laptop for a while, and it's great for that. It's so small and light that you forget it's even in your bag, and it's fine for basic email, word processing...

Your project looks great. I had one of these, fully kitted out, back in the day. You can use the Apple 3.5 drive (the platinum one) with the PCT. That particular drive supports CGR and MFM, which is why you can use it to read PC disks on a Mac as well. You can't use the Apple 5.25 floppy drive...

I also have the "Apple Preferred Components" book, circa 1990. It outlines electronic components to be used in Apple products. Not that I solder particularly well...

Yeah, I'm thinking I'll use it for storage of one of my Pluses. I have another stored in the original box. :)

Is it a conquest if you uncover something in your own storage space? I have a workshop in my garage that's been home to my Apple/Mac accumulation for over 10 years. I'm moving later this summer, so I've started to go thru things and am rediscovering some cool stuff. The first is an Apple...

I had the Daystar 50mHz socket upgrade in my SE/30 a while back, along with the grayscale upgrade card. With the dual PDS adapter, I was able to get ethernet in there too. :)

They were the same people, just alternate pictures, used for other locations, like bus ads or billboards.

I had one each of the full-size sets that were released. I gave a number away to other apple geek friends over the years. I have Einstein, Jim Henson and Buzz Aldrin in my home office. I had a friend who worked at Chiat/Day, so I got some smaller-sized alternates that weren't released and a...

I've got an SE/30 with really weak audio, so I'm guessing it needs a re-cap. I've done the dishwasher trick and cleaned the board well with alcohol and I got a slight improvement in the audio volume post-dishwasher, but it's still really quiet. I'm hoping a re-cap will solve the problem. I also...

Amen to that. I have an Apple //e fully loaded in my workshop and enjoy playing Short Circuits on it every now and again. I enjoy tinkering with my Mac Plus's and SE/30's because that's what I used in grad school to write my technical thesis. I also used an SE/30 to spend WAY too much time...

Picked up a mint condition beige Mac Plus for $10 last week. This one came with an almost new MacBag, a Kensington MacTilt, a Fanny Mac cooling fan, and an old Mouse Systems optical mouse. Unfortunately, I didn't get the special optical mousepad for the mouse, so I'll have to look for one of...

Agreed. For now, I'll leave this one running as is. This is actually my 3rd SE/30. I have one that pretty yellowed, but in god working condition that has an Xceed card an an accelerator in it and I also have one that's pretty beat-up that I may experiment with. It also has the volume problem as...

I picked up a really nice SE/30 last week and got it up and running. Honestly, it didn't take much, as it was in great shape. I bought it from the original owner (bought new in 1990) for $40 shipped. Seemed like a fair price. :-) It has 8mb of RAM and the original 40MB hard drive. The...

Well, if you're strictly looking for a 68k powerbook, the 540/540c is a nice way to go. They're a little tougher to find. I've got a 180 and a 180c and they're built like tanks and pretty cheap. I prefer the trackball to the trackpad on these older macs, so the 180 is my machine of choice. You...

I bought one of the plus upgrades a few years ago when Micromac was blowing them out. I think it was like $20. It's still in the plastic, I'll probably install it soon as I've just about got my Plus sorted out.

Make sure you use either the "Apple 800k drive" or the "Apple 3.5 Drive" and NOT the "Unidisk 3.5". The Unidisk is not Mac compatible.

I've got a plus that's running well and maintaining time/date (with power off overnight) with a AA alkaline battery in the holder. Anyone else try this?

Nope. The SE/30 has no on-board RAM. Just what you put in the SIMM sockets.

I have the 40mHz version of this card installed in my SE/30. I think I still have the original box and manuals around somewhere as well. I've been meaning to max out the RAM at 128MB at some point, just to do it. :-)

I've got an odd situation. I bought 3 Plus's a few years ago and am just now getting around to getting them up and running. I have one that works fine, but has bad CRT burn-in and a marginal floppy drive. I have another with a perfect CRT, floppy drive and logic board, but the PRAM battery...
