ADC is using DVI signals, and HDMI is compatible with these signals. If you have an ADC to DVI adapter and a DVI to HDMI cable, you can connect a vintage Mac to a modern display. Here is an ADC to DVI adapter: But the interface shown in the first post is for the reverse, to use an Apple ADC...

In this Instructable (step 3), the guy molded a perspex sheet onto the original CRT!

You can easily remove the SD extender from its shell, and design/print a combined bracket/shell that I think would provide a better and more robust fit.

You need one of these : https://ebay.us/m/mUGERK And set JP1 to Lo

Do you have the USB speakers? Does the Cube chime?

Did you test it outside of its enclosure? The power button is very finicky, and sometimes detects a touch when there is none. When a normally functioning Cube is put to sleep, the power led pulsates slowly, like the slow breath of a person sleeping. The problem might be the power button...

In case you didn’t know about it already, the schematics for the SE/30 logic board have been redrawn using modern software! Get them on github. They may be useful for troubleshooting…

I don’t think it’s really harmful to run it, C5 is part of the audio circuitry, so you just won’t have sound. The problem is not the missing capacitor, but the leaked electrolyte from failing capacitors that is eating, and thus destroying, the circuit board. So better remove the remaining...

It seems that comm slot ethernet cards are getting rarer and rarer, specially comm slot 1 cards! So, I was quite glad to find one, at a relatively reasonable price… Here are a few photos, as this card seems to not be very well documented: Did I buy a dusty, rusty, very yellowed Performa...

Thanks for the detailed answer! I took a look on eBay, those are quite expensive upgrades!

Is there any CPU upgrade that won’t need an interposer? (I want to keep it simple!)

Found locally (extreme patience is key!), it’s in very good shape and I only paid 10 euros for it !!! It’s a 21 inches consumer TV (model number is KV-21C5B), with two SCART inputs (we call them Péritel in France) so it accepts RGB signals natively! Not a huge TV but its size (and weight!) is...

Will this 486 DX4 100 work with the DOS card?

You could ask on the Classic Mac section of the forum of the french site MacGeneration.

Did you finally found a working SIMM for the DOS compatibility card? I just got a Performa 630 DOS Compatible (I believe the hardware is the same as the 640CD) and I too have a SIMM that prevent the PC from booting (same symptom: black screen). I tested that (32MB) SIMM on the Mac side of the...
