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…

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

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…

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…

"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?

I tried using Silverlining version 5.5, and when I try to "Select Drive..." from the File menu, I get... "SCSI bus is not responding. Check that devices are connected and powered…

I'd say the capacitors have gone on the Classic II motherboard...you can either replace the caps yourself and keep using the Classic II, or trade/give the machine to someone else o…

Yes, swapping out one of the floppy drives is really simple. Every Mac SE has an internal SCSI port on the motherboard for an internal HD, you just need a mounting bracket (heck, y…

Now that I've got a long Torx-15 screw driver, I'm having a lot more fun in the repair shop with my old Macs. I finally got to see why my Classic II was presenting only a Simasi-M…

The SCSI port of the Plus needed an HDD formatted for 1:3 interleave, ie a drive slowed down in data acquisition rate. Silverlining 5.8.x gives more control over such matters as b…

Boot from a floppy and run SCSI probe to have a look at the bus and see if it's advertising itself. You have two problems... 1. As I understand it the Mac Plus requires drives th…

I'm trying to connect a SCSI HD to the Mac Plus, but for some reason, it's not recognizing it. Actually, it's not even recognizing that the drive is connected. Not even an old ve…

Update: I have bought the SCSI-IDE adapter, and IDE-CF adapter. (actually 2 of each, my IIci will also be CF-driven). Meanwhile, I have also disassembled the SE's PSU, to find gold…

I have a PM 9500 Motherboard that I am pretty sure works, but if you want it, it's Free+shipping to you from Omaha, NE 68132 USA Let me know

Maintenance? HDD: file defragmentation/file-directory repair/archiving files (to maintain less than 85% fullth [a technical term]). Break-and-make of all connector-socket junctio…

Ram yes, changing it out did not work, one of the first things I did. Was using 4x 128mb dimms, interleaved. Battery is full 3.6v. El Nino? lol

And if this wasn't about PowerPCs, I'd mention the holy grail of clones - the Radius SkyLab :O

Id go for a PowerWave Stargate with Nubus/PCI. } just because nubus is teh win

Battery? El Nino?

Have you tried different RAM?
