Hopefully my SE won't need a cap job anytime soon! Click to expand... It is already overdue for one. :beige: Best to start planning for it now, it's only a matter of time.

If that fails, you might be able to do a visual check against the images in the appropriate Nubus Mafia categories. That's some truly top-notch conquesting eBay definite…

Didn't I read somewhere one could install the Turbo040 control panel even if one didn't have a Turbo040 installed, and check a box in the preferences to skip the memory check at st…

Thanks a lot! I feel relieved now. Hopefully my SE won't need a cap job anytime soon!

Mice have caps in them too, but I've yet to have a mouse go bad on me, so I've never taken the time to swap out the caps. And that holds true for mice manufactured in 1984 and ear…

It could be a bad ADB connector. I had these on both sides of the IIgs keyboard I used with my SE/30. I resoldered the pads but still had problems. I then replaced the cable but…

Some random finds from the boxes: A Spectrum SE/30 pds video card with cable and connection assembly for SE/30 (maybe the SE too?); A Radius Two-Page Display SE/30 pds video (thi…

Okay... I will try another Keyboard and see if that works. I tried both ports and that didn't cure the problem. thanks for the input. Adam

And the plastics of the machines are mostly excellent - even on the SE. Am I excited? You can tell I'm excited, can't you?

One full Dodge Grand Caravan load and one further half load later, I am well and truly stocked up on old Mac goodies - i.e., my Garage is a great deal more full of crap than it wa…

Have you tried a different keyboard? Have you tried plugging the mouse and keyboard into separate ADB ports, instead of plugging the mouse into the keyboard? Have you tried alter…

Help, I tried to book up my SE 30 the other day. When the Key board and mouse are connected, the SE will get to the welcome mac screen and will not complete the boot up process. …

I would be worried about the machines bouncing around in the trunk waiting for you to sneak them in the house. Click to expand... They tend not to bounce when they're packed so…

Another thing is the heat as well...not such a problem in Winter, but in the middle of Summer it gets bloody hot in a car boot...my Dad leaves his work laptop in the boot of his ca…

Some of you might recall my recent 512k conquest last week. Well, I left it case and all in the trunk of my car, waiting until the next day after my wife left for work to smuggle i…
