SE/30: Endless startup loop? — #24

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…

Interface information for 400KB Floppy drive — #30

The mystery of the Quadra 605... — #2

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…

Solid State Drive (SSD) in SE/30 — #13

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…
