Didn't I read somewhere one could install the Turbo040 control panel even if one didn't have a Turbo040 installed, and check a box in the preferences to skip the memory check at st…

It is only when switching it on or off. Also, the sound always works fine.

Thanks a lot! I feel relieved now. Hopefully my SE won't need a cap job anytime soon!

Your Mac is checking RAM. The more you have, the longer it will take. It takes almost an eternity on my SE/30 with 128MB RAM. The startup delay is not indicative of SimasiMac. …

Hello all, I recently purchased a dual floppy Macintosh SE off eBay for a mere $20! I'd been really wanting to mess around with some old Macs earlier. Then I found out about …

The Mac II had an external 5.25" floppy drive option, which uses a NuBus card. So a Mac II can have 3 with that option. I'm not sure what happens if you try to hook up more than …

Might just be the CRT Click to expand... Nope. Most likely a bad cap that needs replaced in the sound circuitry. They notoriously fail. An SE of this age most likely needs a f…

Might just be the CRT

I like the SE/30's Secret identity.

It doesn't have a manufacturer, or model name on it? Another idea...does it have an FCC ID or Patent number? You might be able to do a search on one of those and find something. An…

Heh, I have a Dell 23" LCD, and it weighs nothing compared to most 14" CRTs, even the Macintosh Colour Display (which is pretty light for a CRT, I have to admit) Its funny to thin…

I believe it was possible to daisy chain a Hard Disk 20 with a floppy drive. On just the right Mac, you could maybe hook up 4 floppy "devices". Unless you can chain multiple hard…

Mice have caps in them too, but I've yet to have a mouse go bad on me, so I've never taken the time to swap out the caps. And that holds true for mice manufactured in 1984 and ear…

Welcome, and good job getting the LCIII up and going. Best of luck getting that SE/30 up!

Whenever I switch my Macintosh SE FDHD on or off, there is a static pip. Does anyone know why?

It could be a bad ADB connector. I had these on both sides of the IIgs keyboard I used with my SE/30. I resoldered the pads but still had problems. I then replaced the cable but…
