My SE/30 sometimes makes this Sad Mac tone (in this case due to a poorly seated SIMM) – it's not often heard and the first half sounds a bit like a Game Boy. I wonder what it means and what fault causes it to play that specific tone.

I've heard that before but couldn't find a failsafe way to reproduce it. But it does indeed seem to be RAM related...

I have a quick video that shows off the four different death chime variations on my IIci:


Sounds like yours is Error4Handler. Unfortunately the leaked SuperMario source code doesn't explain the difference between Error3Handler and Error4Handler, so we'd probably have to disassemble the ROM to figure it out. I agree though, it's almost certainly a RAM test failure.

Things have changed. Looks like I'm doing shipping of some stuff afterall.

If, you have anything in mind, let me know.

Also, I'm going to post pics to this forum tomorrow night, Thursday and Friday. However, I'm not at all familiar with this forum. It's different from Reddit, so I'll have to figure out how to do that.

Here's a Macintosh Server G3 Blue and White that I bought on eBay for a future restoration project

I need to get some case parts and a graphics card for it alongside with the proper IDE hard drive cable

Hi there Caymac!

I've been talking to ZigZagJoe about his SE/30 Booster CPU accelerator PDS card. He mentioned that you are working on a replacement SE/30 32-bit clean ROM that would likely work well with the ROM boost feature on his accelerator.

Do you have any 32-bit clean SE/30 ROMs that you would be willing to sell yet?

Kind regards

Andrew

Hi, that's wonderful news, thank you! I would just need one ROM for an SE/30 please. How much would it be with postage to the UK?

To calculate postage my address is:

Greetings Maz1zzz,

I was curious to know if I was able to get my name on one of the Rocket SCSI Boosters, as I have been following this thread for some time now.

Can you kindly put me down for one!

Feel free to inform me as to the total cost involved for a Chicago U.S.A. location! 😎

Most Appreciative,

Michael

Haha @Snial, you’ve certainly paid attention to the details! Yes, RAM Doubler is enabled. I use this 520c chassis to test everything. The CPU currently in the machine for 48MB testing is 33MHz. I probably tested the 40MHz CPU in here a while back and moved it to a 540c chassis where it now lives. The 33 in the Control Strip *is* the CPU speed, but it only ever shows 25 or 33 and nothing else.

NICE! I guess that second RAS line was found.
Great job! I'm gonna have to add that to the list of mods I'm doing to mine! Cheers!

@robin-fo yes it’s something interesting in the iMac trayloader’s firmware. I got to it purely by accident - I was dumped into OF due to an error and this appeared when I typed Mac-Boot. It almost looks like the beginnings of the boot picker GUI, which of course wasn’t yet implemented on the very first New World Macs.

@joevt have you seen this before?

Yes, on my B&W G3 and DingusPPC (B&W G3, iMac). That image appears after a boot file has been chosen automatically. It's just showing what is booting (device path, partition number, file path, file type, icon). The icon image is in the CHRP boot script in the data fork of the "Mac OS ROM" file. Search for "multi-boot" and "multi-boot-menu" in this forum for info about the boot picker.

Interesting, I'm going to be at the Everything Electric show in Farnborough in early October, where I hope to pick up a friend's B&W G3. I'll have space, because it can go under a desk. It'll be a cross-over Mac as it can run Mac OS 8.6 through Mac OS X 10.4.

I was looking in the Read Me file for disk 1 for the Market Software Restoration CDs and it mentions the Apple Restoration CD User's Guide. Do you happen to have that in your collection too?
