Also, you mention wanting the top vent of the Plus. But you also mention running a hard drive. I hope you are not planning to run your SE with a hard drive, but without a fan. If s…

Last evening I got the 9500 out again after having given up working on it for a month. In the month since then, a mouse had crawled into the machine through the open expansion slot…

I don't have a clue how or where to get vacuum formed plexiglas over a form. Can you elaborate a bit? Is this a home/garage project? Necessary equipment? Or are you paying a…

SCSI-2 to SCSI-1 conversion boards are cheap and easy to find. If they do a price break on small quantities (say 10) maybe we should RaQ for a group purchase

abandonware, it should be perfectly legal for you all to snag copies. Click to expand... Yyyyyeah... that's not exactly true, but who cares. Image away.

This seems too easy. Am I missing something? Click to expand... Assuming you're putting in a VGA/SVGA capable motherboard, nope. And that's a darn good price for a monitor wi…

Trag, search the forum for CC mods. This has been covered a lot. There are some pretty sophisticated ones. I have not heard about vacuum formed Plexi either, but you do not need it…

Unfortunately the rear bucket case from the SE has more of a tilt at the front where it meets the bezel Click to expand... Actually it's the Plus that has the tilt back. The SE…

clear plexi, vacuum formed over the original CRT face Click to expand... I don't have a clue how or where to get vacuum formed plexiglas over a form. Can you elaborate a bit?…

Can you re-cap a Classic II board? Click to expand... If you can, could you inquire to the forum's vast experts as to which caps I need to do for an effective repair, instead…

My Arduino board arrived so I can start experimenting with the Microcontroller. I also share the concern that the memory is too small, but well just have to see what happens. My n…

If you are going to emulate the 400K drive itself, it is completely dumb. The IWM in a first generation Mac is exactly the same as the IWM in an Apple //c or an Apple II non-integ…

If I can find one more vintage Mac, I'm gonna force my friends into a Bolo LAN party. :rambo: Click to expand... Nice one. Click to expand... Yep, I remember being excited…

I tried converting everything over and booted the SE up in the Plus case. Amazing how many of these Apple parts are just interchangeable bolt-ons, no modification required. Unfort…

http://www.tri-m.com/products/sandisk/ffd35unscsi.html That web page says they will even supply a SCSI-1 interface upon request. Since it's an EOL drive (and hence, they probably …

The best SSD for the SE/30 is a drive that is made in the stock form factor (3.5") and already has a 50-pin SCSI connector. Indeed, one probably couldn't do much better than this:…

Just a thought....you could paint it black, and use a matching black keyboard and mouse, and maybe go all-out with an OS skin, to make it look something like the TEMPEST SE in the …

If you don't mind risking such a machine...your best bet would be a Mac II. Otherwise, you could gut an external Apple 3.5" drive for the adaptor board and connect it to an IWM-equ…

If you are going to bother shipping boards out and back and paying for work to be done you should replace all the aluminum analytic SMT capacitors on the motherboard. They are all …

Wow guys lots of great information here. This exactly what I hoped would happen. Development work has stalled as I expected because of the Thanksgiving holiday here in the US. I …

Personally, I went with a SCSI->IDE->CF card out the 2nd floppy slot. The "drive" access LED is also kind of useful. I've thought about mounting one in the floppy e…

Check out the, now "all but defunct," CC forum over on 'fritter for info on Color Classic Hacks. To get VGA off the MoBo, ISTR that you'll need to do whatever they call the hack th…

I like the notion of using body filler to fix the SE, but to give it "new look," I'd suggest sanding off ALL the texture and then spraying it, or better yet, powder coating it to g…
