Interesting. The "MacBatt" CR2032 solution I'm using seems to be lasting much longer than that. Since my CC has been a work-in-progress due to one particular issue it's been having that I've not yet been able to solve, but for the ~1.5 years I've had it so far and with it off most of the time...

Oh yes, totally get that. Even with modern replacements like those CR2032 adapters, with us not really being able to use these macs as frequently as we could back in the day, you're bound to run into empty batteries again sooner or later. I wonder, as your CC is running some version of Mac OS...

Thanks for the thoughtful response JDW! I get that from a power consumption point of view this wouldn't have considered problematic, especially when it was released. For me I was considering this more from the point of view of seeing several components remain live that get so very hot. I am not...

Ever so slightly off-topic, but do you or anyone else happen to know if keeping parts of a Macintosh hot/live like this was common in those days, and if so why? I had always sort of assumed that this was just one of the several quirks of the odd little duckling that is the CC, but I don't know...

Yeah Yeah, it seems like there's no mention of the third light (on the PCB) even, which is easily visible on their transparent models. Unfortunately there seems to be little helpful information out there, which makes this whole endeavor "slightly" more challenging. It also doesn't help that it...

I'm no expert on any of this, but from my small attempts trying to get mine to do anything more than just blink it did not appear to be an issue on the mechanical side. To test this I temporarily swapped the sensor/mechanical parts with a known good model's (a SCSI variant), which yielded the...

This sounds exactly like the behavior mine has. I purchased it used (and "untested") on eBay and of the now four ZIP100 drives I somehow ended up with, this is the only USB one and the only one with the exact issue as you describe. Sadly there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of love for these...

I too would want to recommend to start making something and worrying about the paperwork side as a next step. To add one more bit; if you're not in the US and so want to register as a business there, Stripe's Atlas program might be worth a closer look. Good luck! 😊

This might be in the wrong corner, but as yours blinks three times to indicate it can't find any disk image I wanted to ask: how* did you format your SD card? As in, to which file system format and if applicable, with which utility?

If you have a copy of CS6 and are familiar with it already, using that feature might be the lowest friction way to get to a similar looking webpage result from your designs. From a code quality point of view these tools (especially Adobe's) usually produced rather messy code that can be harder...

Does the internal drive still work? If not, you might want to fully disconnect it (power and data both), as having it connected could lead to unexpected behavior. For example, if the computer sometimes notices this drive and tries to bit from it and then fail to do so, it could explain the third...

Hello! Welcome to the forums 😄 Could you share a bit more about what has been done to your SE? You mentioned BlueSCSI, has its internal hard drive been replaced by a BlueSCSI? Have it's logic board and/or analog board been recapped? Has any other work been done to the SE?

This is great, well done! Indirectly related, I'd love to be able to add a VGA output to my CC in a non-destructive way to be able to do some direct captures whilst using the internal display like usual. I know this has been done before on other Macs like the SE and all, but I'm not sure if this...

This is fantastic! This is basically exactly what I have been looking for, as I've been having a tough time finding one of those Gravis pads (especially locally), and already have a pair of 8Bitdo controllers for my SNES. If you'd be willing to consider shipping outside of the EU too, I'd love...

Answering my own question: After doing about as much research as I thought I could and not finding any evidence that this Mac has had its analog board tampered with in such a way that it would have become 110v-only, I went ahead and tried it out over 220v. Fortunately it booted up just as fine...
