I now have an SE/30 with SSD - quiet as a "Fat Mac", Click to expand... Well, not as quiet as a Fat Mac unless you have also taken out the fan. Which on an SE/30 might not be t…

I can attest to the first adaptor listed in your post above. It's the same I've used with great success for my "SSD in an SE/30"-project! Please note; it's meant for full size HDD…

I decided to take a look for SD to IDE adapters on Ebay. And there's a lot of them! :O Just looking at all the stuff one would need makes me dizzy. First a SCSI to IDE adap…

Ahh yes, speed, I forgot. Well - yes and no. It's faster then the stock Apple 40 meg, but no more than the IBM 9gig. I suppose the SCSI bus is hindered by age, and by a dog-slow s…

Woah. That's all I can say. Is it faster?

Well they both have internal SCSI, so the process is the same. First, find your SCSI to IDE adapter ... BTW

Great score. I miss my old LC.

Also keep in mind that II-series power supplies die very gradually. If you keep plugging and unplugging the power cord and mashing on both the keyboard and back panel power buttons…

Holy hell...as others said - those accelerator cards alone are worth it! Nice haul! :O Good score on all the other bits too

I had to read that a second time. I thought you had missed the '475' on the end of LC. I did not know they even made that upgrade. I wish we had that back when our family had an…

WHAT! > You are SO FRICKIN LUCKY!!!!!!!!1!11!!!! That is worth it for the upgrades alone. Would you be interested in organizing a deal for the Transwarp since we live …

The II, IIx, and IIfx should all be able to take the same power supply. One test to see if the power supply is working or if it is a problem with the batteries or caps or whatnot …

As a mod its my duty to remind everyone to follow the forum rules, and remember that "Keep it Civil" extends beyond the Lounge.

Wonderful! Nice job!

Based on this price estimate, my guess is that it will cost no less than $20 (since I have never done such a job in less than two hours), plus the cost of return shipping. Assumin…

I'd google for them. The MythTV Modeline database might have what you need. Another place for the raw values is the EIDE info for the display, which you might also find on the web.…

well i have been running around to all theese eletronic stored pulling my hair out because i can find fans for it and i figure it is a older machiene and ill just let it live its l…

Okay. I guess it's time for me to update this topic. "How much do I charge?" Currently, I charge $10 USD per hour at about 2 to 3 hours. If you have an SE or SE/30 that needs r…

I have a Macintosh II that appears to be a problem with the power supply. I really want to get the Macintosh II working again and have seen a power supply for sale. But I don't wan…

How do you obtain the "modeline" for any given monitor?

The extra long video card pictured above is the second version of the Apple nVidia Geforce 4 Titanium. The original version of the card that Apple shipped was a shorter version ide…

Check the motherboard for cap leakage. Also, make sure you soldered the PRAM batteries correctly; there's always the offchance that you may not have by accident.

Thanks for the reply. I have already replaced both batteries on the Macintosh II. Unfortunatly it made no differance.

No go with the proc swap. Any ideas? can someone give me the ram config for this mac?

Have you checked the batteries... both of them. The II/IIx/IIfx use two of the standard 1/2 AA batteries. Startup problems on those models are usually the result of having one of …
