I'll venture a guess; you've put the capacitor in backwards. The tiny stripe on the capacitor should point towards the "+" on the motherboard. I *think* this is opposite the factor…

I received my replacement capacitors from Trag (thanks, Jeff) and have started to solder this morning. I have three finished, when I decided to put the board back and try it out. O…

A few of notes: - CD Sunrise will only support HFS CDs. So ensure that you are creating HFS CDs if you are using a CD drive to transfer files onto the SE. - Apple's CD driver wi…

I'm located in Rhode Island. If you can take pics and are willing to ship out, I might be interested. I never used a CD-ROM drive like this, I had to order a 50pin SCSI cord for i…

You will have difficulty reading many discs if you are using system 6 (I recommend upgrading to 6.0.8 in any case). You will need to find the desktop manager init and place it in y…

The iBook (Firewire) takes PC-66 SO-DIMM RAM. iMacs (the old ones) take PC-100 SO-DIMM RAM, and since PC-100 is backwards compatible with PC-66. Yes the iMac ram will work in the i…
