Ah excellent information gentlemen! I will take it apart sometime soon when I have some spare time on my hands and have a look what I'm dealing with.

Thanks TheDoctor, thanks Byrd Took another tack. Partitioned the drive to less than 2 GB and tried an install of OS 7.6 from the original CD that came with the 3400c. Still no joy…

Unity, my SE/30 is an M5119 manufactured in Fremont, not Singapore, in 1989. Socketed CPU as well.

Ok. That may be the model difference then in the Classic. To add to all this confusion, I really could add the TRUE model numbers to some of these but it would get NUTS. The SE ha…

According to a couple of educational price lists (Oct 1990, Feb 1991), the Classic was sold without hard disk.

I have a Classis with said label. Since it was a shipment wreck, I will pull the label off and see whats under. Were the analog differences a big deal? I dont think they list needs…

There were two 512K EDs for 220V countries that had no silk screening, one in beige and one in platinum.

Yes, I did. Were there switch/port color differences between them? I should take a look.... c

Elfen said: The area to look at like 360Alaska stated is those parts. But also there are 2 cable jacks to look at, most importantly the one that connects to the CRT Yoke. It …

Working on dead PS is a pain. I just waited for a deal and purchased 2 working MDD supplies (one for a dead unit one as a spare) and put the non working PS on the shelf for when I …

If it works on the Mac IIsi, it should work with the Mac II. Go back and get it working with the IIsi and then switch it to the Mac II. Make sure the video card is tight on the boa…

For MinerAl - I was surprised too. Granted its easy to make one really, so the pic here could have had that done. But its what it looks like. I think the oddest thing I learned fro…

I've made a dual SE FDHD, but I didn't realize Apple ever sold one!

Unity - ah cool, you're referring to all those listed above, makes sense I'll check the serials when my 512k arrives

Yeah, I actually have an early SE that used to have the squirrel-cage fan, but I removed it and installed the later-type box fan (I still have the old one, though). For authenticit…

Well, then, I guess this is an instance of that. I don't mind that it's a "clone", but I've found that the real thing (an iPad, in this case) is almost invariably better (being th…

360 - I think I have only one board, in my TEMPEST, that has that tiny jumper board on the SE. Elfen - I think there are more platinum Pluses out there than most think. if you loo…
