Thanks for this!

I've done this with a Microsoft mouse where the coating was.. getting funky. Yes, it worked well, however, I'd like to keep the Newton's exterior as original possible. I wish there was a restorative "talc powder" for industrial products, hah.

A 68020 in a Mac Plus? Whoa! That's cool. How many MHz is this running at? Where/how does the board connect to the main logic board?

I've got a recent (to me) 2100 - and it's coating is "sticky" - but not goo per se yet. Western part of canada too, oddly enough! I don't dare touch it with rubbing alcohol, as I don't want to remove the coating, but I have used that solution to remove "gooed" MS mouse rubberized texture, in the...

Amazing! I'd only ever heard spotty talk of this before I actually realized I had Macs of this program. That'll be so great to read - and print off a copy of - to sit beside said units! Thanks in advance @jajan547 and @retr01 - no rush, but happily looking forward to these.

Neat stuff! I have a 128 and a 512 both upgraded to "Macintosh Plus 1MB" units (or so it says on the rear) - as in, the front chasis' are the orginal aforementioend models (no name silkscreened on the front beside the Apple Logo) but the rear chasis, logic board, and presumably floppy drives are...

Hmm, respectfully, I've heard the opposite about the Classic's analog board. It's my understanding that the Classic (and Classic II) analog board is worse than most of the other 68K Macs, and will need to be recapped. In addition, the analog board produces more issues as the power flows from...

Without citing anything as I write this, it's that standard window glass filters for a certain type of UV light - harmful to human skin type. However, the plastics still get affected by this part of the spectrum. But when we remove this filter (the glass) by placing the plastics in direct...

I was unaware the reloaded board was being made for the Classic as well! Pretty cool - are reloaded boards being created for every mac logic boad that had a PRAM battery holder on the board? (Speaking from experience of losing an SE/30 to this 'bomb').

Love it!

Great, I'll check that link out, thanks. The Mac Pack - haven't run anything yet, but, in theory the Mac Pack should work on the SE/30 too. I only just heard about this a few days ago myself, so, all of this is theory for me at the moment. Getting prepared for BlueSCSi...

@retr01 agreed, the more ram the better! Same RAM will work for SE/30s and IIci, correct? I'm fuzzy on this.. does the IIci need a ROM upgrade to access more RAM (like the SE/30)? Or, is it just an extension needed (Mode32 if I recall?) Any suggestions on which RAM supplier for RAM? The 128GB...

@retr01 I've got a few machines - let me list the machines and the goals. The SE/30 A is a unique machine - it's the one I want to soup up and get running Mac OS 8.1 - just because I can! I have a TinkderDifferent member to thank for saving it - there's a short post about it actually! I've got a...

Thanks for explaining the guide @retr01 - that helps tremeandously! Can't wait to get the target machine up and running on BlueSCSI, and soon, Mac OS 8.1!

This is great, thanks! I've downloaded the file (thanks for creating this) - will be picking up a BlueSCSI in a week or so. I already have the ROMinator II chip. Question 1: What is an .hda file? While i'm familiar with .img and .sit and .zip suffiixes, what is ".hda"? The file I've downloaded...
