Mac SE/30 SCSI problem — #13
That was my board in the video. It would boot up to the question mark, but wouldn't recognize any SCSI devices whatsoever. He fixed the bad connection and it works great now.

Gents, thanks for the quick update. Just got done watching about 4 of TheTechKnight's Youtube videos on resolving SE/30 problems to see if I could learn more. He also had a SCSi …

The link to the 53C80 datasheet has changed from to http://www.prismnet.com/~trag/DataSheet/Z53C80.pdf
Basically, anywhere I ever used io.com, it is now prismnet.com. I wish I …
Mac SE/30 SCSI problem — #10
Hi!
It's the DB2 line, between pin 39 on the 53C80 chip (the uppermost pin on the right side) and pin 6 on the IDC-50 internal SCSI connector. It's also connected to pin 22 on the…

zuiko21,
Which connection was broken? The problem you encountered is VERY similar to what I'm trying to resolve on my newly recapped SE/30 (my system reports that the SCSI Bus is…

OK: Update.
I tried resetting the PRAM. Nothing. Wouldn't boot in safe mode either.
I booted from Verbose mode. I got the following (it hangs here):

@FlyingToaster, After I got the kernel panic I tried the Apple Hardware Test CD for the iBook. I did the long version, which took about 15 minutes and it stated that everything pas…
iBook G3 500MHz Questions — #38
You can maybe try an apple hardware test cd. It depends on if it works on your ibook or not, some models it doesn't support.
I think it has a long RAM test on it, maybe leave it l…

OK: Update & More problems.
So as you may remember in my conquest thread, I obtained another iBook to be a donor unit to get this iBook back working. I ended up taking the…

It's been a while, but here's some news: it's not the SCSI chip, but one broken connection!

Like said, I'm just now starting to explore working on computers and what-not so I'm not perfect at this stuff. Thats one of the main reasons I bought this iBook to begin with. I g…

It very much sounds to me like a hard disk with bad sectors, a flaky drive PCB, drive cable, or (worst case scenario) onboard IDE controller. The last seems unlikely, as you have n…

Update:
Well, I finally dug it out of the closet. I decided I was going to tear the sucker apart to see how hard it would be to replace the hard drive if necessary. Pulled up ifix…
Ohh, I'm bad. Core2Duo color classic. — #27
I would suggest looking for some of the documents for the Color Classic "Takky" upgrade. Most of the links I have are dead, but I recall seeing a pinout for the motherboard edge co…
Ohh, I'm bad. Core2Duo color classic. — #26
Okay I'm making progress...I've gleaned the A/B pinout from here : http://homepage2.nifty.com/frogeye/connector.html
But I've read the CC uses composite sync. Pin 9 on the a/b 40…

Nice one!
I once considered a similar project to a dying Classic, placing a miniITX or laptop board in it, but trying to find a 9" LCD screen* as I didn't have the confidence to p…

Does anyone have the pinout info? Or a link to the Apple manual that has it? I've checked every manual i could get my hands on and none go into that level of detail.
I've done th…

Will OSX boot into 800x600? I seem to recall there was a mod to force the CC display to this resolution ... Which for the purposes of this iTunes implementation should be perfectly…

This is great! Can't believe I missed this thread 2 years ago. I wanted to do this 3-years ago, but couldn't figure out how to get VGA out of the mono monitor on my Classic. I g…

I'm too tired to look it up. The signal pins are exposed through the motherboard connector, which will accept a VGA signal once the high-res mod is done. The pin out of the connec…
