Please define "phantom issues" more specifically.
I mean subtle instability issues that may be difficult to attribute a cause to. One example is I tried a loaded SE/30 config with multiple PDS cards and I started getting random freezing and system bombs. It seemed like after several restarts I was able to run benchmarks flawlessly for maybe 20 mins, so I am thinking the PSU's got warmed up. I checked the voltages with a DMM and they were close to nominal, but I don't really know what was going on. Another example could be your floppy drive errors discussed earlier.
Guide to the Macintosh Family Hardware, Second Edition has more extensive power supply specs for the SE/30 on pages 259-260 that relate to this discussion...
Good idea to check there and some useful info here thanks. It does seem like the sweep specs. are tight.
Ill give it a shot once I find a suitably sized power supply. ...The biggest problem for me right now is time. I am strapped of it. I have been doing a major R&D project for a display corporation on new scoreboard technology, and thats been taking up nearly all of my time...
Sounds like a cool project. Thanks for your input so far! It would be great if we could eventually find a reference PSU to use that is commonly available and low cost that can fit into the old chassis for a clean restore. :b&w:
