That was my board in the video. It would boot up to the question mark, but wouldn't recognize any SCSI devices whatsoever. He fixed the bad connection and it works great now.

Gents, thanks for the quick update. Just got done watching about 4 of TheTechKnight's Youtube videos on resolving SE/30 problems to see if I could learn more. He also had a SCSi …

The link to the 53C80 datasheet has changed from to http://www.prismnet.com/~trag/DataSheet/Z53C80.pdf Basically, anywhere I ever used io.com, it is now prismnet.com. I wish I …

Hi! It's the DB2 line, between pin 39 on the 53C80 chip (the uppermost pin on the right side) and pin 6 on the IDC-50 internal SCSI connector. It's also connected to pin 22 on the…

zuiko21, Which connection was broken? The problem you encountered is VERY similar to what I'm trying to resolve on my newly recapped SE/30 (my system reports that the SCSI Bus is…

Hm. I have a post September 10th 128k-model board in my Macintosh 128k (but with an original Macintosh rear bucket), Apple branded RAM chips, stock 128k amount even, not a single c…

Hi, since I'm currently unable to edit the Wiki I have decided to continue my programming guide on Google Sites temporarily until the wiki is fixed. The start of the tutorial is h…

Phreakout - any updates on my board? You've had it a LONG time.

Finally.... MISSION COMPLETED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got a 80GB 5400RPM HDD today to replace the problematic 10GB HDD in the iBook. After spending all afternoon taking the HDD o…

Just for a minor additional note of clarification, I was genuinely puzzled if "MFS Support" was something you were explicitly looking for. Presumably a Mac hard disk which *did* wo…

Confused myself, I meant non-SCSI drive like the serial MacBottom, was probably thinking MFM (correctly or not) having previously written MFS. Not that clarification isn't importa…

Though the fact it distinguishes between the SCSI and non-SCSI HD20 is a good indication it understands MFS. Click to expand... Minor nit: What does MFS have to do with the HD2…

Would be nice to have to see if it would recognize the macbottom serial HDD as it is.

Symantec Tools is a newer variant that sprang forth from the older Symantec Utilities for Macintosh (SUM). I have version 1.1 of SUM. Symantec Tools is part of Disk Clinic (which…

not sure about symantec tools, I am talking about Symantec Utilities for Macintosh Version 1.1 before it became Norton. From the Wiki, it supposedly understands the old HDD systems…

disk0 is going to be the hard drive. You're getting hard drive errors there. You may want to boot it into firewire target mode and do a surface scan on the disk from another comput…

I have something called Symantec Tools 1.0. Is that the same thing? I see in the disk drive parameter volume folder three MacBottom configurations, 20/32/40. It also defines the Ap…

Would be nice if it would talk to the macbottom HDD. Research concludes on macbottom, that Symantec utilities 1.1 would work with HD20/macbottom/etc, but i havent found a copy.

So here's a recent Tecmar drive sale on eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250993088572 So the seller says this: Tecmar made several versions…

OK: Update. I tried resetting the PRAM. Nothing. Wouldn't boot in safe mode either. I booted from Verbose mode. I got the following (it hangs here): ATIRage128: Using AGP Airpo…

@FlyingToaster, After I got the kernel panic I tried the Apple Hardware Test CD for the iBook. I did the long version, which took about 15 minutes and it stated that everything pas…

You can maybe try an apple hardware test cd. It depends on if it works on your ibook or not, some models it doesn't support. I think it has a long RAM test on it, maybe leave it l…

OK: Update & More problems. So as you may remember in my conquest thread, I obtained another iBook to be a donor unit to get this iBook back working. I ended up taking the…
