The real problem with a QS CPU in a cube isn't the buss speed, it's making it fit physically. If you figure that out, post pictures. I have a QS dual 867 CPU that I'd like to use i…

Just a tip for the scrues, use those plastic pill day timer things and label them

You can get one Here at this site if you are looking to get a new one, also you will need tortx drivers (to open it up) this site is good from what i have heard http://www.powerb…

Ya I would bet almost anything the logicboard is fried. Unfortunately about the only solution is to replace it with another. Hold onto it as a parts unit or sell it off.

Toni_: does that mean you now have all of the IM library? Click to expand... I think I'm still missing a bunch of them... at least QuickTime, Sound and the QuickDraw GX books. …

I'm not really sure why you felt the need to tell me that, but oh well. Click to expand... I don't know either I am running 6.0.5. I am still trying to find a way to copy…

2.) You can't start up the Mac from a CD Click to expand... I don't really care. Click to expand... I'm not really sure why you felt the need to tell me that, but oh well.

I had cd roms on 6.x machines, cant remember exactly which version of 6 it was but it was one of the later ones with the internet connection kit

what version of OS is it running? I can't recall the minimum required for CD support. Might be 7.1 (?)

1.) Apple-branded SCSI drives will probably work better Click to expand... It is Apple-branded, but it is an internal used as an external. 2.) You can't start up the Mac…

Can you use an external CD with a Macintosh SE? Click to expand... Yes, but keep two points in mind: 1.) Apple-branded SCSI drives will probably work better 2.) You can't sta…

I took a cd drive out of a old PowerMac 7100, stuck it in a external case, and hooked it to my SE. I booted up and it can't read any cds. Apple HD setup (or whatever it's called)…

Well, I'm not sure I wanna tackle the mods needed to run the 133MHz bus DP1GHz on the 100MHz bus of the Cube. So the DP500 might yet end up in there instead. By the way, picked t…

It seems just disassembling and reassembling all the parts somehow got it back up and running. Click to expand... Strong evidence of bad solder joins on a connector somewhere.

Auto suppliers are probably a good place to look for O-rings, too. Anything rated to survive life inside a car's engine bay should have no problems with the heat of a G5. Click…

You can make an adapter to hook the drive to a regular SCSI & power cable, but I've never heard of anyone actually doing that. Click to expand... MicroMac sold an adapt…

It's a good idea to check the caps first and see if the motherboard's repairable in it's current state.

Yes. Find yourself a slow SCSI CD drive (say, 2x or 4x, max), and it should work. If you encounter a driver problem, the "CD Sunrise" driver works well with many third-party drives…

dang I knew I left mine somewhere

The Portable has a few of oddities. It's basically a low power 16MHz CMOS MAC SE. It requires more juice to spin up the HD than the AC adapter can supply, so it needs a charged bat…

Kinda makes the DP500 I just picked up for it a little redundant Click to expand... Renderbox for say, MP3 encoding or video encoding? I know it's a slower machine, but....

Can you use an external CD with a Macintosh SE? I need some way to take data over to it until I get my other floppy-enabled mac out. Thanks, agg23

Okay. I've reassembled the SE/30 and did a voltage measurement just as JDW mentioned. I am getting between 5.00V and 5.01V DC through the floppy port. The SE/30 is powered on, s…
