The USB disk drive I bought can only read and write to PC FAT disks. Both a modern PC and my iMac can write to such a disk, but only a HFS disk can be used in the SE30. Getting the…

Porter's question is a particularly relevant one. The Mac Plus does not supply termination power. Termination resistors perform two functions -- they reduce transmission-line refle…

The Amiga emulates 68k macs exceptionally well. The hardware emulator for your A2000 is a great solution, however it is not actually required... Look at my sig to see my A1200 ru…

"SCSI bus is not responding. Check that devices are connected and powered up." Click to expand... Have you gone through the termination options? What does SCSI-probe say?

What's up with Iowa lately? Another huge haul just waiting for someone... This one may not be too far away, though...I'm trying to find out. I'd like to have the 575s. Don't re…

Excellent score on that Sun Box! Quick look over there! /grabs sun box and runs

I just tried HFVExplorer on a PC and it seems to be able to save readable files to a HFS formated disk in the USB floppy. I will have to try the disks in the SE 30 (on Friday when …

The USB disk drive I bought can only read and write to PC FAT disks. Click to expand... Weird. I've never heard of this before. Your USB drive should be able to read/write HFS …

Yep, they most certainly are. Here is an article explaining the differences between auto-inject and manual-inject FDDs.

Those are auto-inject?

I tried using Silverlining version 5.5, and when I try to "Select Drive..." from the File menu, I get... "SCSI bus is not responding. Check that devices are connected and powered…

Some have decided to put the HD into the System Saver on top of the IIgs. This way they can turn the HD on first. Sometimes you need to do this as the drives age they may need a fe…

I'd say the capacitors have gone on the Classic II motherboard...you can either replace the caps yourself and keep using the Classic II, or trade/give the machine to someone else o…

Yes, swapping out one of the floppy drives is really simple. Every Mac SE has an internal SCSI port on the motherboard for an internal HD, you just need a mounting bracket (heck, y…

Now that I've got a long Torx-15 screw driver, I'm having a lot more fun in the repair shop with my old Macs. I finally got to see why my Classic II was presenting only a Simasi-M…

You can never have to many working superdrives, they also seem harder to find. I have a few spare auto inject and manual inject (at least I think I still have some autos). I like …

The old kind, that is. :beige: Bought two of 'em on eBay the other day. Will come in handy - I don't have any spare auto-inject FDDs, only manual-inject.

The SCSI port of the Plus needed an HDD formatted for 1:3 interleave, ie a drive slowed down in data acquisition rate. Silverlining 5.8.x gives more control over such matters as b…

Boot from a floppy and run SCSI probe to have a look at the bus and see if it's advertising itself. You have two problems... 1. As I understand it the Mac Plus requires drives th…

I'm trying to connect a SCSI HD to the Mac Plus, but for some reason, it's not recognizing it. Actually, it's not even recognizing that the drive is connected. Not even an old ve…

Update: I have bought the SCSI-IDE adapter, and IDE-CF adapter. (actually 2 of each, my IIci will also be CF-driven). Meanwhile, I have also disassembled the SE's PSU, to find gold…
