The second post mentioned "The device I saw looked much like a VT-100 (same form factor)" which at first I took to mean the Macintosh, but now that I am looking at some pictures of…

Good job. This is the part where we mob you for disk (and disc) images.

Eggs-actly. Avoid the wet-slug style tantalums when buying replacement caps. Nearly all caps you will find today are solid, but there are some of the old wet types in surplus catal…

Niiiiiiiiice :O

You have two Key Lime iBooks! :O Very nice...definitely a machine I'd love to get my hands on one day Click to expand... Those are very pretty. But I like my blueberryBook.

Thanks for the correction, Henry. While I have read about the old "wet slug" tants that do have fluid inside, for more than 15 years I have never (neither professionally nor in my…

I officially *HATE* you with a passion. *breaks down into tears* Would you still be willing to let go of that TransWarp?

So has anyone heard of any recent developments in solving the 2010 bug? Aside from the very crude alpha software thats been floating about for the last year or so, does anybody kn…

Some tantalum caps have liquid electrolyte and some are solid. The liquid-filled ones may leak or dry out like aluminum Caps. The solid ones are very long lived.

I just got back and it's even cooler than I thought. I had trouble keeping my composure when I saw it, and I felt a little guilty walking out of the house with it. $10!!!! I…

get a metric ruler, go from there, its one of 3-5 sizes Click to expand... It is approx. 70mm tall with a power lead running nearly the length of the analog board. From your p…

... if there's anyone still interested. Last evening I got the 9500 out again after having given up working on it for a month. In the month since then, a mouse had crawled into th…

presumably the later drives change speed depending on which track they're on, so one should be able to do the same thing with an emulated version and not bother counting pulses. …

I'm currently using CF in most of my older macs: http://synack.net/~bbraun/idecf.html The SCSI based systems are using the R-IDSC-E adapter linked to earlier, with my experiences…

Thank you, JDW. Basically, $10 plus $20 plus the shipping cost to send it to me, which usually runs around $10 to $20 USD for those sending in the U.S. For international, it will…

Great colour The earlier ones look great with the metal shielding removed - I have several Clamshells including 2 x Key Lime

A new battery is in the mail, and i just made the apple on the cover red! Its funny, the battery cost a few dollars more than the pismo :lol:

I've got an SE with a really noisy fan I'd like to replace. Unfortunately, the SE uses an odd paddlewheel style fan instead of the fans you typically find in systems since that ti…

He, true, but with a new 6" silent fan and a bum ear, I'm anybody's fool! And I agree, *never* leave an SE/30 without ventilation.

Our local Goodwill was having a 3-day Thanksgiving sale. So I went there to see what bargains I could find. Aside from getting a C language programming book, a book on doing 3D ef…

I now have an SE/30 with SSD - quiet as a "Fat Mac", Click to expand... Well, not as quiet as a Fat Mac unless you have also taken out the fan. Which on an SE/30 might not be t…

I can attest to the first adaptor listed in your post above. It's the same I've used with great success for my "SSD in an SE/30"-project! Please note; it's meant for full size HDD…
