The main reason I wanted to replace the entire back plate was to allow for the standard fan port on the back, but also retain the convection vents at the top.

While you are correct in stating that 2.5" laptop hard drives (spinning platter type) can be used, this thread is focused on SSDs. Moreover, 2.5" drives of the spinning platter ty…
Thanks Phreakout!
I tried booting the SE/30 from a floppy while holding down the shift key, but that didn't do the trick.
While I'm waiting for your OS disks, is there any method…

I'm actually more interested in the Asante box. Do you have another known-good Mac you can put on the other side of the bridge to make sure that the Asante is routing AppleTalk cor…

Interesting. Huh.
Just for kicks, try rebooting again, but this time hold down the Shift key. This will prevent any extensions or the like from loading. If this doesn't wor…
Could you post that Syquest tool? I have an SE/30 I'd like to get running with a newer drive.
Regarding an ideal, easily obtainable SCSI drive, I recommend getting an Acard ARS-20…
If you get a chime, then you just need a battery. If you don't, then you do need to solder that capacitor back.
Soldering isn't hard to learn at all, and since it's just two leads…
OK guys, excellent suggestions. I have some good news and some bad news.
The Macintosh Classic I have now is indeed a Classic 1. Following Phreakout's instructions, I successfully…

...Just one more thing to note... it looks like the Mac floppy drive *isn't* a completely dumb device. Look in your copy of "Inside Macintosh", the hardware section, and read the b…
Yup, it needs a working battery to start in normal cases. You can try turning it on, and doing a quick off/on flick on the PSU. That should give it video without the battery. If yo…
No, the issue at hand is that you're not supposed to change that extension (even if it seems as small as image. to img. no matter what.
phreakout's suggestion is very good (I forg…
Got everything yesterday!
The Duo Dock looks good, haven't been able to completely check it yet.
The 7100 is really nice. It came with the original accessory box, two SSW CDs (bo…
I'm not sure if it is only "SCSI-1" that will work in the SE/30. I had this IBM DGHS drive internal to my SE/30 in the past and it worked perfectly. (I only moved it to an HD20 e…
But those Apple disks aren't copy-protected, so what you quoted doesn't apply, IIUC.

They weren't copy-protected so people could make legal backup copies.
Have you thought about providing a snug, disposable mouse nest in your workshop or storage area so that if you do get unwelcome visitors, they'll be attracted to that rather than y…
If it's a SCSI-1 standard, I can see more than just the SE/30 owners going after it. I'd like to try it on both my SE/30 and on my Power Mac 7500. Imagine installing a 30-some gi…
Dita, did you say earlier you have a Mac Classic, recently acquired? If so, is it a Classic 1 or Classic 2? If it's a Classic 1, then try the following:
Step 1: Restart the Cla…

If that M-SYSTEMS drive I mention is available in a reasonable quantity (i.e., more than 10) and for a reasonable price (i.e., less than say $200 for a 4GB size), then you would pr…
If I were set in changing C1 and only C1, it would not matter to me if the price was even $6 total, if that including shipping to me in Japan.
Perhaps it would be more desirab…
