Battery? El Nino?

I bought a USB diskette unit and copied the Omega driver onto a PC format diskette usning a modern computer. I will see (next week) if the SE30 can read it and install it from that…

Have you tried different RAM?

Hello again. I am still searching for a reason as to why my Kansas 9600 logicboard bit the dust a few months ago. I ran this machine since new, almost 12 years(or more) of service …

Does anybody recall if a ZIP drive will boot an SE if formatted with a later driver? If that's the case, the same driver use to format a ZIP drive under say OS X as HFS, should als…

Alright, thanks Outlander! I will definitely get around to trying that.

Nice conquest! FWB Hard Disk Toolkit is one of the better third-party hard drive formatters out there. It formats really quickly and can make multiple bootable partitions (unlike …

Just so you know, your SE/30 has a 1.44MB SuperDrive floppy drive, which supports reading and writing of 400K, 800K, and 1.44MB floppies. Do you have an Internet-capable Mac that a…

My SE30 is not connected to the internet so I have to get it in the machine on a diskett. I have no way of getting the driver on to a diskett. I don't have a diskett drive and I do…

Quite a good program that one - I have version 3.5. Definitely a must-have for anyone with an older Mac and non-Apple HDDs. Good score.

I've got a few copies from my apple technician days in the 90's. It's nothing special, but it works when nothing else will. Just be sure to read up on any bugs in the release you h…

All I can say is that it works very well - I have version 4.5 and it does the job.

After hearing about it for years I finally bought a copy of Hard Disk Toolkit. It's version 2.0 and the manual is a hulking beast of a book. I've used just about every other hard d…

In case you frequently deal with stacks of floppy disks, consider to copy them onto a harddisk drive. A System 7.1 installation runs great from a harddisk, as long the contents of …

Well, still, you may want to open the case up and give the hard drive a good whack.

Regardless of SCSI IDs, I still get a grey screen. I'd like to try SCSIProbe, but the problem is that if I connect ANY external SCSI device, I get a grey screen, and the floppy dri…

Thats the plan once i get some, use 1.4's. Anyways got Ramdoubler, bomb shelter and MS Word 5.1a on it for now, it should make a nice little note taking machine. Thats it's officia…

Thanks for the confirmation that I should do the analog boards too. I've heard of "Macintosh Repair & Upgrade Secrets" - while Alibris has somone selling a new copy for $9…

The 1.4MB and 800k versions of System Update 3.0 are exactly the same, but on different size disks. There are some Macs that can run System 7.1, such as the Mac Plus, early SE's, a…

It probably takes a bit of getting used to, this is the first time i've ever played around with any pre os 7.5 system so it should be fun. On another happy note, the PRAM battery s…

To be frank, it's not basic at all with the right software. Here are some useful addons: http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/71more.html

I got 7.1 pro installed. Should i get the update from apple or is it pointless? Its gonna have to wait till i get some floppy disks... My hard drive icon changed from the little la…

What are folks' opinions on doing pre-emptive replacement work on the analog board? Click to expand... It's a must, really. Capacitors that are over 20 years old and very susce…

So I did a little more searching, and here are the motherboard capacitors used in a 128k: 33µF 16V, 2 pieces 4.7µF 35V, 1 piece Got that info from here: http://retromaccast.ning…
