I just had to share. I've had a string of bad luck with a 2400c I had so I bought a cheapo "parts machine" off of eBay awhile back and thought it'd be good to change out the boards…

What does SCSI-probe say? Click to expand... Tried SCSI probe, but it looks as if the drive isn't connected at all. Drives generally have a variety of jumper-controlled …

Check the power connector for cracks in the solder to the pcboard. Check the voltage at the drive under load if possible or atleast check to see if there is a voltage dip when runn…

The capacity of the drives do not really equate to power consumption. Personally I would connect them to a known good computer/enclosure and test them like that as well as check t…

What are the GB sizes of the drives in the order that you replaced them? It is possible that there isn't enough electrical power to run the drives or there is a problem with the p…

Great, thanks for the responses. I will open up the SE tomorrow and attempt the transplant. I expected that I'd need the SCSI cable from the Classic II, so I've held onto that an…

System6+Vista, Adding a SCSI HD to a dual 800K floppy SE is easy. I've done it before with mine, but I ended up with some obstacles. For one, the SE didn't have the SCSI ribbon …

I have a mac cube that ran fine for about a year and the hd failed so I put a drive I pulled. this drive worked for a couple of months and it started having problems it would spoo…

I just removed the resistors, which was incredibly difficult, my 15w iron didn't seem to melt the factory solder very well, and then just cut small wires, tinned them and soldered …

Yeah thats what I've read, but just to see if it works. Ahh whatever. I just want a working Compact. xx(

Thats pretty cool, I got 2 Free clamshells from my school, and may even get some more. 1 Graphite 466 and 1 Blueberry 300, I'd like Tangerine and Lime though. My school does not ha…

You can just ditch the resistors and use rear window defogger paint you know. Also trace pens or whatever they are called. Can't get em where I live though. >_>

I ended up overclocking it to 400 mhz, I didn't try 433 because I didn't want to risk messing up soldering twice if it didn't work. http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/7540/400k.jp…

:?: As a temporary solution, Washing the logic board will sometimes bring it back to life. That is what I have read around these boards. Click to expand... Well, it's not a pe…

Status: There are 22 disks, 11 of which I was able to make into .shk archives. The rest have varying amounts of disk errors. I will be trying more in-depth methods in the coming da…

Well I diagnosed the problem with the other Powerbook5300C, I will need to ask more about the issue however.

The Logic board is in better condition than yours, but has some leaky caps.. This may be fixable with a nice Wash, Click to expand... No, it will not, the capacitors need to be…

Hows the analog board on that Classic 2? I have a Classic 2 with a bad analog board. The Logic board is in better condition than yours, but has some leaky caps.. This may be fixabl…

To my understanding, *EVERY* Lisa 2 (and Macintosh XL) shipped with an internal hard drive. That was pretty much the big selling point over a 'real' Macintosh. The original dual-T…

Porter's question is a particularly relevant one. The Mac Plus does not supply termination power. Termination resistors perform two functions -- they reduce transmission-line refle…

Disk controler for lisa was designed for 2x Twiggy drives. When controler was adapted to 3.5inch, the ROM was written only for 1 drive so, even if hardwork should work with 2 driv…

"SCSI bus is not responding. Check that devices are connected and powered up." Click to expand... Have you gone through the termination options? What does SCSI-probe say?
