The mystery of the Quadra 605... — #3

If you get a chime, then you just need a battery. If you don't, then you do need to solder that capacitor back. Soldering isn't hard to learn at all, and since it's just two leads…

The mystery of the Quadra 605... — #2

Yup, it needs a working battery to start in normal cases. You can try turning it on, and doing a quick off/on flick on the PSU. That should give it video without the battery. If yo…

Solid State Drive (SSD) in SE/30 — #13

I'm not sure if it is only "SCSI-1" that will work in the SE/30. I had this IBM DGHS drive internal to my SE/30 in the past and it worked perfectly. (I only moved it to an HD20 e…

My first conquest! (no, not just pictures) — #23

Solid State Drive (SSD) in SE/30 — #12

If it's a SCSI-1 standard, I can see more than just the SE/30 owners going after it. I'd like to try it on both my SE/30 and on my Power Mac 7500. Imagine installing a 30-some gi…

SCSI-2 to SCSI-1 conversion boards are cheap and easy to find. If they do a price break on small quantities (say 10) maybe we should RaQ for a group purchase
