And here are my pair of iMacs that were painstakingly rebuilt... Graphite is possibly up for round two surgery shortly due to some recurring issues. The build process was covered s…

Unity, my SE/30 is an M5119 manufactured in Fremont, not Singapore, in 1989. Socketed CPU as well.

Ok. That may be the model difference then in the Classic. To add to all this confusion, I really could add the TRUE model numbers to some of these but it would get NUTS. The SE ha…

According to a couple of educational price lists (Oct 1990, Feb 1991), the Classic was sold without hard disk.

I have a Classis with said label. Since it was a shipment wreck, I will pull the label off and see whats under. Were the analog differences a big deal? I dont think they list needs…

There were two 512K EDs for 220V countries that had no silk screening, one in beige and one in platinum.

Working on dead PS is a pain. I just waited for a deal and purchased 2 working MDD supplies (one for a dead unit one as a spare) and put the non working PS on the shelf for when I …

If it works on the Mac IIsi, it should work with the Mac II. Go back and get it working with the IIsi and then switch it to the Mac II. Make sure the video card is tight on the boa…

I've made a dual SE FDHD, but I didn't realize Apple ever sold one!

Unity - ah cool, you're referring to all those listed above, makes sense I'll check the serials when my 512k arrives

Yeah, I actually have an early SE that used to have the squirrel-cage fan, but I removed it and installed the later-type box fan (I still have the old one, though). For authenticit…

360 - I think I have only one board, in my TEMPEST, that has that tiny jumper board on the SE. Elfen - I think there are more platinum Pluses out there than most think. if you loo…

Unity this is awesome! Don't forget M0001P - the same as M0001 but with the 220-240v power supply. I have one sat here if you need verification I've also just acquired from…

Bad caps learned early on is why they have so much info. They do have great info. I've been there when I had my first MDD.
