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…

Hi guys, I recently got this Quadra 605 from ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260510108280 However, it doesn't work. When I tried to turn it on the…

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. Click to expand... 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…

I must admit that I've not yet seen the same amount of "leaking" Click to expand... heh from that era I bet they are "sealed" vs newer ones are safety vented, I wonder how many…

On November 27, 2006, the Librarian of Congress, on the recommendation of the Register of Copyrights, announced six classes of works which will not be subject to the prohibition ag…

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…

cutting the front off of a glass CRT / It works, but it's a messy and difficult process Click to expand... And even with the phosphor coating removed, it results in a loss of l…

rimmer: we have a wiki page called Flash Drive Test Results. Would you like to add your experiments there?

I myself are up for two or three drives, depending on price and capacity. /Anders

Also, you mention wanting the top vent of the Plus. But you also mention running a hard drive. I hope you are not planning to run your SE with a hard drive, but without a fan. If s…

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 the machine through the open expansion slot…

That was a thought I had, but JLW's original instructions stated that PC floppies are fine, so I never changed the formatting.
