StanMoonie Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 I am working on a Mac se/30 currently and I installed a Mac Rom-inator in the unit. On start up the Rom-inator screen comes up and then a you can choose R for rom disk or A for ram disk. Pressing the R it goes to a black screen and sites there. The hard drive is trash, soit has been removed from the equation. I put the original rom back in and tried to boot the computer from a boot disk and it boot to the happy face and then goes to a error id = 01. Any ideas what I am looking at? I am inclined to think maybe the ram is messed up. The caps were leaking I replaced them and cleaned up the cap mess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tt Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 That's a reasonable guess, do you have two banks worth of RAM to swap between by using just one bank? The stock ROM does a RAM test, but maybe it is not sufficient to catch the issue. Cleaning of the board needs to be fairly thorough when repairing for leaks, how did you clean it?

StanMoonie Posted November 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 I cleaned it up with vinegar and a brush, I am going to try the swapping of the ram since I do have both bans filled with ram. I heard the Rom-inator acts up if the ram is mixed with different speeds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StanMoonie Posted Sunday at 03:35 PM Author Report Share Posted Sunday at 03:35 PM I found that I ended up having two problems with the Mac se/30, one was all the simms were different. When I ordered and got a set of simms that had the same speed that fixed one problem. The other problem was a bad boot disk that had a error one it but was not showing expect to stop booting. I had bought the rommnater from messofwires that has os7.1 on it and after I replaced the simms it would boot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
