I had two conquests late this afternoon, both of which I feel are worth sharing! First, for something I can use with my old 68Ks. I got two brand new shrinkwrapped boxes of floppi…

Yup, the extruded melamine acts as a mild abrasive. It will clean hard to clean spots, but you do need to use care.

Gotta be careful with the magic erasers as they will abrade the plastic and smooth it if it has a textured surface. Magic Erasers will also remove the printed name from the case i…

I've used Magic Erasers with pretty good success.

GOO GONE, its a citrus type of adhesive remover quite safe for plastics, however there is a product by a similar name called goop off, and that stuff will eat plastic like mad, so …

Eucalyptus oil is supposed to be good for sticker residue

Dude, I would highly recommend the Retr0brite. Its awesome!! All my Classic Macs are white now! Get Clairol Pro 40 cream developer and a brush. Clean the case well with Simple…

I'd like to clean the case on my classic II, what is the recommended procedure for doing so? It's mostly just grimy, but it does have 4 distinct areas where apparently old Apple s…

Answer is NOPE. It looked like it should fit, but it wouldn't sit flush with the case. Oh well.

I kno ive been soo busy i havent been able to be on in forever!

Does that one SE have a SuperDrive floppy or is it 800K? If it's SuperDrive, then you will save yourself half the battle; 800K floppies can be done, but you'll run into many brick…

The only way to know is if you try and attach it to the side of your SE/30. If you run into even the slightest resistance, it won't fit. 73s de Phreakout. :rambo:

Can the Programmers Key (switch) from a Macintosh II be used on a SE/30? I have a spare one from a dead Mac II, and I thought having a reset button on the side of the SE/30 would …

I'm running 6.0.8. I don't think it's in the Trash (no bulge) but I'll check. I did delete the old System Folder so I could reinstall 6.0.8 with the SE/30 specific files (It had …

There's no way that you or someone else may have moved it into another folder, or even into the Trash is there? Unlike most operating systems which require their system folder(s) t…

Actually, nobody does.

It will show, if IIUC, that total system RAM is 20 MB, but the system is "using" the majority of it.

What System version are you running? Systems 7.0 and 7.0.1 had a disappearing folder bug which was fixed in System TuneUp 3.0 and Systems 7.1 and later.

Ok this has to be the oddest thing that has ever happened. I booted up my SE/30 and my system folder isn't there. The HD doesn't seem to indicate it's even there so it's not off …

If at first you don't succeed, remove all evidence that you ever tried. Click to expand... Excuse me, I dish out the unnecessary sass around here.

So let me get this straight. If I have "Dirty ROMs" and I have 20MB installed. Will it show as having 20MB in the About Finder menu? (but in fact only have 8MB usable until I use…

LCGuy is correct on that. IIfx ROM-SIMMs are 32-bit clean. The only issue you'll have is a bit longer of time to startup the SE/30. Sometimes it can vary depending on how much R…

Does a IIfx rom count as a clean rom? If so, does putting it into an SE/30 cause any compatibility issues? Tempest

Yes, it shows 20MB, but how much of that is free? If you have "dirty" ROMs, and MODE32 is not installed, the extra RAM will appear to have been used by the system.

awesome, I so want a 64, but I never had one, nor will the spouse approve of one lol
