The links I found seem to indicate you can run it from inside an emulated Apple, if it can access the serial ports. Maybe a IIe PDS card even?
BTW, you've inspired me to do somet…
yes some did have fans buried deep in them, but aside from the first couple generations, I couldn't tell you which ones
and they still ran quite warm, at the time I figured where i…
I had an old pc case fan in my 350MHz iMac G3. I pulled off the connector and stuck the two wires into the positive and negative of the hard drive power plug and just jammed the th…

Datasheet for the M5M27C101JK is here:http://www.io.com/~trag/DataSheet
I thought I had it on my archive drive. I have a last modified date of 2003 on it. I think we're coveri…

TjJazer,
Try rebooting the SE/30 off of the floppy drive. Then run Disk First Aid or Apple SC HD Setup or some type of equivalent hard drive utility program. We just need to che…

I have a 700mhz slot load and it gets extremely hot. The problem with adding a fan is where do you draw power from? Are there any extra pigtails coming off the power supply? I woul…
You can gently slide out the analog board of it's notches (remove ~ 2 screws on the outside) and not have to take the whole thing out; this will give you access to the elusive scre…
I recall certain hard disk formatting tools let you specify a wait state/delay in the system boot process to allow a disk to spin up; perhaps check out FWB toolkit first.

I've got half a dozen G3 iMacs still in regular use and they all get quite warm to the touch -- never had any problems other than 1 dead HDD, so my guess is that the convection coo…
I opened up a bondi blue iMac about a year ago and found that there was a fan hidden deep inside of it, which surprised me.

At least temporarily. Acard has flash update programs for Mac OS 9 (maybe 8.6, too), but not for OS X. However, the program to update the SATA-SCSI devices is apparently Windows on…
Ok I just had a look at the SE/30 manual: http://www.macheaven.net/MH_Manuals/macintosh_se30.pdf
If you look at page 66 you can see that to get to the last screw on the right you …

hi all-as you may have become aware, i recently got a new(ish) iMac g3. however, it gets HOT! i did some research and found out it's cooled via convection, which seems unhealthy. i…

One of the things i added to my souped up PowerMac 7300 was a SCSI card and an LVD hard drive, Seagate 80GB@ 10,000RPM . Now this drive takes a bit longer then its original HDD to …
Oh, I remember, I drew a nice design with four PLCC parts on the same side of the board and realized that they'd be too close together for convenient hand soldering. Two need to …

OK my spare SE/30 is having a major problem! I think it's the SCSI chip. Which is not socketted!
It will hang on boots and reboot, and after messing with it, SCSI is dead on the…

Nope, I actually had to keep it low or they got really loud.
I looked at removing the big metal bracket thing, but there's one screw that I can't get to because it looks to be und…
I'm pretty sure you need to slide out the motherboard (disconnecting all cables), and just the metal bracket inside housing the floppy drive and hard disk to get to the speaker.

I have an SE/30 with what I believe is a dead speaker in it. There's no internal sound, but I get sound just fine if I plug in speakers. I have a working speaker I pulled from an…
