can you take pictures of these main boards…..     So far all i am aware of, is the earlier Macintosh II boards with all Axial caps,   { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lig…

well heres an update, i finally got around to trying something on it.  I got out an old dell big crt monitor.  If i remember right it supported up to 1280x1024.  Anyway i hooked up…

Its a little late for me to post, but I agree with CCC's and Uniserver's findings.

Found a couple you sent me a while back, uni. I'll update

Ok. I'll change them if I have any. If not, I'll PM you. Been looking for spares, but seems like 30 is minimum order.

cc-333 is correct the problem is the bourns filter has gone bad.    its a common problem. they go bad in a few different ways, causing oddness. i change those... but usually i sug…

I've had read/write problems with bourns in the past, but not this. Uniserver or technight would be the experts on that.

Maybe it's a faulty Bourns filter? That seems to be a common cause of bizarre floppy-related problems like this. c

Caps have been replaced (not by me) no battery it was removed and there was no corrosion. Is the searching for the external floppy part of the rom, software, or other hardware? F…

battery explosion?

caps? corrosion on motherboard?

The internal floppy is working ok. The warning box shows a Mac with an external floppy drive next to it with the warning. Should have clarified that

If it thought it was the floppy, it would show a floppy icon. Do you not have a floppy you can boot from?

I would guess the floppy drive is stuck in and it does not move or something to that effect.

Got an SE30 going, however, it continually give a dialog box stating the disk is unrecognized and asks to reject or initialize. The icon shows an external disk drive in the warning…

I like the mallet idea, but to date have done a few of these things by scoring along the seam lines with a knife or razor saw, then taping the thing back together to facilitate eas…

Recelling lol. That's what I get for typing this on a smartphone.

CE? I know since it is IDE, you can replace the IDE Drive in it and put in a CF with a CF-to-IDE Converter in it and watch it boot a lot faster and run for hours on battery! I hav…

They're so pretty though, I personally think the 2003 DP models are the most attractive computer interior ever made. I wish I still had my 1.8.

Welp, can't sleep tonight as you can probably tell, and do not have to work until the evening, so I decided to stop procrastinating and remove the 2.0DP from my office as it was ta…

Man, this thing is a godsend... for the past 15 years Ive been using a small multi-bit driver with a handle just narrow enough to slide down the sides of a compact handle... except…

I finally bought an 18" Torx screwdriver to work on compacts. Bit long but it definitely works.
