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...

Just wanted to close out this thread. I received replacement capacitors from Console5 and replaced all of the backward ones and the SE/30 is back up and running. I also had to add some bodge wires to fix a destroyed solder pad. I also started seeing intermittent noise in the raster so I...

Okay, perhaps you are right. I own an HP-85A computer that was made back in 1980 and has a 6" B&W CRT internal display, a thermal printer and a tape drive for internal mass storage. I also own external 3.5 and 5.25 floppy drives that are connected by HPIB to the 85A and they all still work...

Sorry, I've been very busy so I haven't had a chance to respond. I'm awaiting delivery of replacement capacitors and I hoped they would arrive before today and get my SE/30 up and running. But, the parts haven't arrived so I'm stuck. Oh, for the days of local brick-and-mortar electronics...

Thank you, jmacz. I've emailed Console5 for replacement capacitors and suggested the metal can types.

Great point Elemenoh! I found a set of schematics for the SE/30 MB and have identified 5 caps that are used to decouple 5 volts around the board that I replaced. C1, C7(blew up), C11, C12 and C13. I know where they are on the board so I can check them. Phipli, I asked the exact same question...

Good morning all. This is heartbreaking to report. I've owned a Mac SE/30 for the last 8 years or so. When I bought it, the motherboard (MB) had been recapped, the CRT was bright and sharp and still is. For the past year, I've been sprucing it up, like replacing the Sony power supply with...
