I just wrote a System 7.5 NAD floppy to complete the OS 8 on LC III hack, anjd was gretted with "Sorry, a system error occurred. bus error to temoporarly turn off" blah blah blah..…

My current recommendation is to contact Apple and elevate the issue to a supervisor. The supervisor will almost certainly give you a free repair. Capacitor replacement is no longer…

Any good old fashioned TV repair person could do it - you don't necessarily need someone who knows computers, you just need someone handy with a soldering iron and a good collectio…

This is my favorite PPC machine, hands down. I affectionately call mine weirdway. I even used it as a sever for a bit. NetBSD & Linux run like a charm [as does OS9 &amp…

heat is actually the main issue with that setup, with the SE case being nearly hermetic, and the Mini's fan having to do all the job. Click to expand... I took another look at …

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…

No, it was 16bit but could address 256Mb of memory with 18 address lines. A 6502 has 16 address lines but that doesn't make it a 16bit computer. If you went by that argument an 808…

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…

The PDP-7 was an 18-bit machine. Has a "real Unix" ever been developed for any 8- or 16-bit machine? Doesn't seem a big stretch to run in 16 bits. Click to expand... The orig…

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 [)] ]'>

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…
