On the battery thing, johnklos is right. If you get a chime, then the system is ready to load. However, as JRL said, switch it off and back on right away and see if it boots. Whe…

I keep looking at my iMac G3 and getting ideas, but I don't have injection moulding gear handy so to speak... Click to expand... Perhaps the Vacuum molding procedure mentioned …

and since it's just two leads, it'd be hard to screw up. Click to expand... not that hard, that capacitor is polarized, so it needs to go the right way in, its also smt which c…

Could you post some piccies of the SE in the Plus body?

Aiiiii! Not sure that's a good idea at all. Pulling air from the top could interfere with exhausting air from the inside as well as draw in higher warmer air in the room, and theor…

Keep the drive partitioned in 2GB chunks and you will be compatible even with System 6. My IBM DGHS is 4.5GB. I divided it up so System 6.0.8 could see all the files on all parti…

With my limited knowledge of SCSI standards, coupled with my first-hand knowledge of what have worked for me in the past, I can attest to the fact that as long as the drive is a 50…

Thanks Phreakout! I tried booting the SE/30 from a floppy while holding down the shift key, but that didn't do the trick. While I'm waiting for your OS disks, is there any method …

The main reason I wanted to replace the entire back plate was to allow for the standard fan port on the back, but also retain the convection vents at the top. Click to expand...…

While you are correct in stating that 2.5" laptop hard drives (spinning platter type) can be used, this thread is focused on SSDs. Moreover, 2.5" drives of the spinning platter ty…

Interesting. Huh. Just for kicks, try rebooting again, but this time hold down the Shift key. This will prevent any extensions or the like from loading. If this doesn't wor…

Could you post that Syquest tool? I have an SE/30 I'd like to get running with a newer drive. Regarding an ideal, easily obtainable SCSI drive, I recommend getting an Acard ARS-20…

If you get a chime, then you just need a battery. If you don't, then you do need to solder that capacitor back. Soldering isn't hard to learn at all, and since it's just two leads…

OK guys, excellent suggestions. I have some good news and some bad news. The Macintosh Classic I have now is indeed a Classic 1. Following Phreakout's instructions, I successfully…

Yup, it needs a working battery to start in normal cases. You can try turning it on, and doing a quick off/on flick on the PSU. That should give it video without the battery. If yo…

Hi guys, I recently got this Quadra 605 from ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260510108280 However, it doesn't work. When I tried to turn it on the…

No, the issue at hand is that you're not supposed to change that extension (even if it seems as small as image. to img. no matter what. phreakout's suggestion is very good (I forg…

Got everything yesterday! The Duo Dock looks good, haven't been able to completely check it yet. The 7100 is really nice. It came with the original accessory box, two SSW CDs (bo…

I'm not sure if it is only "SCSI-1" that will work in the SE/30. I had this IBM DGHS drive internal to my SE/30 in the past and it worked perfectly. (I only moved it to an HD20 e…

But those Apple disks aren't copy-protected, so what you quoted doesn't apply, IIUC. Click to expand... They weren't copy-protected so people could make legal backup copies.
