Hello, I have just received this macintosh SE/30 a few hours ago, and every time I try to turn it on, I get these vertical lines and the start up chime does not sound. Does anyone…

Thanks! I was hoping someone has more info or at least mentions whether it's usefull or not. Otherwise I will pull out all 74FCTxxx/74HCTxx, GAL,PAL and vertical SIL RAM chips (al…

Quick search on Google leads me to believe it's some sort of hardware PostScript RIP.

I will go and fire up the CC-LC550 again tonight in order to see if it will do 640x480 resolution... Click to expand... No, Monitors gives the option of only the regular Macint…

Whoops, you're right; I meant an 8600. I get that and the 9500/9600 confused a lot. Even then, the 8600's logic board is a slightly different shape, and some of the connectors go a…

I happened to pick up a 9500 at a garage sale a while back, and find its design refreshingly easy to deal with. You just pop open the side panel, and you have access to the full mo…

... My Macintosh TV logic board will drive the Color Classic at 648x480, without any special extensions, software or hardware hacks with any supported OS. Click to expand... No…

Personally, if it were me doing it, I'd just remove the Colour Classic analog board and use one from an LC575 Click to expand... How hard is that to do, though? Click to exp…

I am looking for a PRAM battery for my 3400c, where did you find those $12 batteries? I really could use a link to it. Mind you, I am in the USA, so it would have to be either c…

I think the 10/100 cards are full duplex (send and recieve at the same time), so in server use they will be much faster then the old 10mb ones.

I am not usually one to preach about static, but it is winter time for most of us, and that stuff does fly around the air and seconded on you could hook back up the board before p…

Yes, plan on RAM replacement being a 2+-hour affair. Some additions to the notes: - Use a grounded wrist strap, or try to keep one hand on something grounded, like the power suppl…

Personally, if it were me doing it, I'd just remove the Colour Classic analog board and use one from an LC575 - chances are you're probably stripping an LC575 for its logic board a…

And I vote once more from my own personal experience with this stupid case design that the 8500 gets a Road Apple award for user friendliness! Make sure you make your ram selectio…

You'll love that Asante 10/100 card. I got extremely lucky about 5 years ago on ebay and bought like 10 of them for about a dollar a piece plus 25 shipping. I've got one in nearl…

As Osgeld said, you have to remove the motherboard. From memory, the procedure to remove the motherboard goes something like this: - Shut down, unplug and open the machine - Remo…

I doubt it - to my understanding, no matter what you do with the sense pins or whatever, in stock form the analog board is only capable of running at 512x384. Click to expand...…

Picked up an Asantefast 10/100 ethernet and a Radius 24 bit accelerated video card. Not sure what model the video card but I know it's not a Thunder GX. It could be a Thunder GT, t…

I've searched for instructions ( text and pictures ) to show me how and what to do. I took the metal case off and it seems to me that the 8500's RAM slots are hidden somewhere a…
