Yes that is a common SCSI upgrade to the 512K, designed to replace the battery cover. It required an upgrade to 128K ROMs and most likely has 800K drive upgrade as well. The Plus d…

I haven't seen any reference to DiskManager Mac - is this freely available software or retail? Click to expand... Honestly, I have no idea. I'm not really into HD Macs. The mos…

I'm rather fond of the 9500, despite it's horrible case architecture. (Pretty on the outside, Evil on the inside)

Nice. But why would you probably not be taking it?

Mac128: Thanks for your reply, I will pursue further. I have eyeballed the caps as carefully as I can and don't see any obvious leaks so I agree with you. I have carefully cleane…

Okay, so I haven't given up yet... Got to thinking that the one constant throughout all of my problems was the System 6.0.8 image that I had been using. Different disks, some with…

...and the PM9500/200 boots up to OS 9.1, with lots of expensave software!

And another interesting auction, It comes with dual HD 20s and an Extended beige (read: not platinum plus) keyboard http://cgi.ebay.com/Macintosh-512K-M0001W-Vintage-Computer-Har…

Well, no 630CD that i could find. There *is*, however, a PowerMac 9500/200, an AppleDesign keyboard, and an Apple ADB Mouse II Maybe I can get the keyboard & mouse, probeb…

I had that "tar" in the bottom of my SystemSaver GS. Had to clean it all out, disgusting. xx(

I don't know about that. The pedigree of Apples was basically that everything was backwards compatible. Click to expand... Which was a double-edged sword, IMO, and what ultima…

The tar-like substance would have been some natural rubber isolating washers. The goo that you've discovered is the same stuff that is created inside printers, tape drives etc when…

:lol:

Before I knew it, my hands, my SyQuest, my CD-ROM drive, my pristine Extended II keyboard, the SE itself, and the ADB mouse II all had the tar on them. Click to expand... …

Wow, I had no idea that the box would be in that nice of a condition. 8-o

The SCSI ID Jumper settings were actually on a sticker on the drive… [] ]'>

Are you saying that it could be risky to put jumpers on random pins hoping it will change the SCSI ID to what you want?

It's a shame you are not local, otherwise I would have bought it from you. A 160+ mile trip is a bit too far for an SE, seeing as I already have one as well. Good luck with the sa…

Good luck!

I'm going to my grandma's house tomorow, so i'm hoping that the Preforma 630CD i stuck in her attic when i was ~6 years old is still there! *crosses fingers*
