I know this problem has been discussed before so I hope my fellow contributors have some good ideas. Obviously, I own a functioning SE/30. I've added to it a BlueSCSI v2 mounted to the I/O hole in the back as well as an Asante external EN/SC for network access. I've included a picture of it...

Hi Guys, does this SmartPort card work with FujiNet? FujiNet uses the SmartPort on the IIgs and IIc+ directly so if this card is plugged into a IIe, would an Apple II (FujiApple) FujiNet card work?

Well, let's clarify a few things. First, the priority of drives on the SCSI bus is 6,5,4,3,2,1,0 with the SCSI card being 7. So with SCSI ID 6, your system will try to start booting from there (regardless of physical connection order) and if there's no boot drive, then SCSI 5, SCSI 4, etc will...

Good idea. I can remove the copper heatsink and look at the chips. Thank you for responding, Gerry

I hate when this happens. I pulled my 20" iMac G5 with ALS out of storage recently and it works great except what I thought was overheating caused by old thermal paste. It would not overheat when fully mounted in its case but it would if I ran it with the back off. So, after cloning and...

I'll make this short - I have a PM6500 running 9.1, fresh install from CD. I also have an LC475 and SE/30 on the same home network. Originally, had the LC475 and SE/30 on an Appletalk network and bridging over to the PM 6500's PCI ethernet card, but the printer and modem ports on the SE/30 are...

dougg3, you are completely right. I do have a Garette ROM SIMM in my SE/30. I COMPLETELY forgot about patching System 7 to run on my SE/30. I've been wrapped up with conquering my BlueSCSI issues and now that I'm starting to wrap my head around how it works, what it wants, when it wants it...

Good evening all. I recently found out from a YT video that Ron McAdams did on using the Infinite Mac website to build bootable .HDAs for a BlueSCSI Mac. This was perfect for me as I've been trying to build from scratch a bootable Mac OS 7.5.3 volume for my SE/30. When I try to do it using...

Here's an update... I found along with the AsanteTalk network bridge some Apple three-pin cabling along with about 5 nodes to connect to the Mac LC475 and SE/30 printer ports. I connected it to the rest of my ethernet TCP/IP local network and I can configure the Chooser to file share with the...

The change in size is simply materials improvements in the foil and electrolytic fluid. What I'm concerned about is the QUALITY of the capacitor. If it has worse ripple specs then it doesn't work as well at its rated value as your original cap. Remember, your replacement caps should be the...

Yes it's the same in the AppleTalk control panels as well. the 6500 and the 475 both show 'Ethernet' in AppleTalk and the SE/30 shows 'Alternate Ethernet.' My wiFi router is owned by Spectrum and I have limited access to it's configuration GUI. I can call their tech support about this but I'm...

I wasn't sure if this was the right place to post this as it involves a Power Mac 6500, an LC475, an SE/30 and BlueSCSI, so if there's a better spot for my question, please move it there and let me know. I have three Macs on my local wired/wireless network. Both the LC475 and the PM6500 have...

Good evening All, I have a few questions, so I'll try to keep this short. I have a local Gigabit network with all my computers connected. The 6500 is able to connect through Appletalk to my LC 475 as the both have ethernet cards in them. My SE/30 has a BlueSCSI v2 along with WiFi and can...

I would think the difference in speed would be not that noticeable. Especially, since you have a 1MB L2 cache. Where did you get it? I have a 512MB L2 cache but the tests I've seen shows the 1MB L2 cache makes a big difference. Also, I found a 10/100 PCI ethernet card that was around $10.00...

Whew, long title. But is scopes out the issue. I bought a refurbished PowerMac 6500/300 at the VCF Southwest here in Dallas. It has installed on it MacOS 9.1 and runs great. Of course, it doesn't have any networking capabilities so I was thinking of using an external 25-pin BlueSCSI v2 with...
