SE/30 Capacitors — #3
Anders, That's a very generous offer - and I may very well take you up on it. I'll see about buying the caps off Trag first though. It's be nice to get my SE/30's going again - e…

SE/30 Capacitors — #2
I've bought mine off Trag (Jeff) here on 68kmla. Prompt shipping, and a fair price (15us$ I think).
I live in Denmark, and I'd like to volunteer my labour to a fellow enthusiast. …

I have a pair of SE/30's, from the serial numbers one is Irish and the other is American, and I'd like to replace the capacitors on both. One did work occasionally, but now only s…
SE/30: Endless startup loop? — #25
Thanks Phreakout!
I tried booting the SE/30 from a floppy while holding down the shift key, but that didn't do the trick.
While I'm waiting for your OS disks, is there any method …

SE/30: Endless startup loop? — #23
Interesting. Huh.
Just for kicks, try rebooting again, but this time hold down the Shift key. This will prevent any extensions or the like from loading. If this doesn't wor…

OK guys, excellent suggestions. I have some good news and some bad news.
The Macintosh Classic I have now is indeed a Classic 1. Following Phreakout's instructions, I successfully…
Interface information for 400KB Floppy drive — #30
...Just one more thing to note... it looks like the Mac floppy drive *isn't* a completely dumb device. Look in your copy of "Inside Macintosh", the hardware section, and read the b…
SE/30: Endless startup loop? — #21
No, the issue at hand is that you're not supposed to change that extension (even if it seems as small as image. to img. no matter what.
phreakout's suggestion is very good (I forg…
SE/30: Endless startup loop? — #20
Dita, did you say earlier you have a Mac Classic, recently acquired? If so, is it a Classic 1 or Classic 2? If it's a Classic 1, then try the following:
Step 1: Restart the Cla…
SE/30: Endless startup loop? — #19
That was a thought I had, but JLW's original instructions stated that PC floppies are fine, so I never changed the formatting.
SE/30: Endless startup loop? — #18
I formatted the a floppy as a 1.44 MB FAT disk

I don't believe you will be able to use a FAT formatted floppy as a boot disk. It must be formatted HFS.
Interface information for 400KB Floppy drive — #29
My Arduino board arrived so I can start experimenting with the Microcontroller. I also share the concern that the memory is too small, but well just have to see what happens. My n…
Interface information for 400KB Floppy drive — #28
If you are going to emulate the 400K drive itself, it is completely dumb. The IWM in a first generation Mac is exactly the same as the IWM in an Apple //c or an Apple II non-integ…

Thanks JRL. The only difference I encountered with those instructions is as follows:
1. Wen I de-compress the Network Access archive using StuffIt Expander (per your original inst…

If you don't mind risking such a machine...your best bet would be a Mac II. Otherwise, you could gut an external Apple 3.5" drive for the adaptor board and connect it to an IWM-equ…
Just got a Macintosh IIE — #2
You mean an Apple IIe?
Either way, nice score...especially for the price! One thing about the Apple II series machines...if you don't have a monitor, you should be able to use …
SE/30: Endless startup loop? — #16
I was doing that from memory, so I might have done something wrong. However, right now I have my copy open here, and you have to do the following:

Wow guys lots of great information here. This exactly what I hoped would happen.
Development work has stalled as I expected because of the Thanksgiving holiday here in the US. I …

Just got one yesterday for free! Drove 45 minutes to get it. I got 6 boxes of disks with it, a bunch of software, 2 drives, and all the manuals with it. Actually, got 3 copies o…

While I am awaiting Phreakout's OS disk set, I recently got my PC back up and running Windows XP. Since I can now read and write floppy disks, I checked out JLW's detailed post reg…

This was my first computer ever. I LOVE them. It was still my primary computer up until December 1999, when I bought an iMac.
Office: Mac Question — #10
I would look for Office 2004, and not any earlier version, mainly as MS has a free utility that allows you to read docx etc. files in it. That alone, apart from numerous interface …
