Okay, so I haven't given up yet... Got to thinking that the one constant throughout all of my problems was the System 6.0.8 image that I had been using. Different disks, some with…

Some more thoughts about the airflow in a SE's case: I built my Macminitosh putting a Mac Mini inside a SE case. And heat is actually the main issue with that setup, with the SE ca…

I had one, nice machine. Heavy as all get out though. The power lead going to the drives stopped working, which basically made it useless unless I used another power supply. Gave i…

I though he said something cropped up and that wasn't offered any more. If I were you guys, I'd still give a shot and see if Apple will bother with it.

Got the G4 upgrade, runs great... It's alot snappier than with the G3.... and I recieved my Apple DVD-R and that works great... just wait ing for my ebay pci wireless card.. it …

Great point there Mac128 - the plastic dust cover on the later SuperDrives completely slipped my mind.

It might also be important to note that most floppy drives do heat up during operation (although probably more so 5.25" than 3.5" drives). Click to expand... I would say defini…

The ChipQuik is a bit of overkill for capacitors, but it will make them easier to remove using just one soldering pencil. However, using two pencils is faster, about as easy and …

Wow, really? Go, Aussie dollar! Time to consider US$ purchase again.

So without a fan I would be concerned about damaging components in the PSU due to excessive trapped heat....Apple included a fan with the SE to try and avoid any reoccurrence of th…

Wow, I had no idea that the box would be in that nice of a condition. 8-o

As of this morning, $99 in plastic money is $82.28 in paper money.

P.S.: please be so kind to share your results for the Q630 here.

Check with Mike Richardson on this board. I believe his outfit offers a capacitor replacement service and it might be more affordable than the Ebay company you found.

That's a nice looking job 4seasonphoto. Thank you for posting it. The ChipQuik is a bit of overkill for capacitors, but it will make them easier to remove using just one solderin…

$99 :O 8-o > :-/ Click to expand... How much is that in REAL money? jt [)] ]'>

It's a shame you are not local, otherwise I would have bought it from you. A 160+ mile trip is a bit too far for an SE, seeing as I already have one as well. Good luck with the sa…

The components in the SE's PSU are placed very close together, most of the capacitors touching. I would think this makes it more difficult for air to travel through the unit. Anoth…

I've got a lot of the RadiusWare diskettes and manuals, some for monitors as I was looking for all the docs I could find for the Radius FPD that I never got. But most info/software…

Well part of the problem is the enclosed PSU. So the extra airflow is really needed, IMO, to help cool the enclosed PSU. Click to expand... This is an interesting quandary. Fi…

I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure these are not available online. Although I don't actually need these manuals, it would be nice to look through them, and to keep them for a…

Well part of the problem is the enclosed PSU. Before the SE, the PSU was exposed on the analog board. But with the SE, Apple used a Sony PSU unit which has its own case and PCB, se…

For your information, I have now put the SE on ebay: ebay.co.uk item number 110426302841 the full reference being http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1…

It's also how you can use both sides of a single-sided disk. Double-sided disks for all other computers have two index holes. This is why when you get a disk which has IBM and Appl…

My G5 iMac has this same problem. It rarely shuts down by it self (But it has) but more often than not it wakes itself up from sleep. My CPU is running @ 146 F
