Thread on 68kmla.org Neat. Can I see what the motherboard looks like with all that stuff attached to it?

I had it happen on a Quadra 650 and a Quadra 610. The 650 was the most embarrassing one, because I was borrowing it from volvo242 and checking out 8.1 versus 10.14 in a library. It lasted less than 5 minutes before nuking itself and I didn't have anything else to substitute for it. Ended being...

Got CD-ROM? I can vouch for the BlueSCSI external. Assuming it's not doing the self-nuking of the SD card, it is certainly convenient. Make sure you have a DB25 SCSI cable to go with it because a direct connection is not always possible on a number of machines without removing the 3D printed...

I don't fault them for it. Because of... ... sigh Reasons, things are most likely pretty chaotic in the electronic world right now, so we can only fault them for so much. From what I was told most Japanese manufacturers make a bunch of item X, then switch the factory over to make Y, relying on...

Also don't select the option to ship it all in one bundle. I did that for my SE/30's analog board and PSU, and then COVID hit. I didn't get the final caps until almost 2 years later, because when one would come available, another would go out of stock.

The Mouser cart may come and go because of Year 2025 "Problems". In my signature, there's a image link in the Working with Disk Images section for the capacitors for a 1.44MB Sony drive.

yeah I remember when google translate was ... it helped, and it was better than nothing, but only just. I did look at some of the other pages with some translation and it made enough sense. His networking and AFP pages are kind of a mess... :) I've asked on VCF, we'll see what happens. I...

Hey @JDW, as our resident Japanese expert ( ), does this page offer anything interesting to us today? http://www.marushin-web.com/se30_4.html I'm trying to hunt down any Engineering Reference Specification documents for the MP-75W 1.44 drive. We have the 800K one on bitsavers, but I"m not...

I use electrolytic replacements for my motherboards. I also only chose Japanese capacitors, Nichicon is preferred. Or Chemi-Con I think they're know by now. Everything ages over time. Of course we can point to 1950s hardware that's still working but we can't forget about survivalship bias...

It's been a long journey, but we're here. Almost the entire text has been overhauled, save a few sections. Even if you've seen it before, chances are good you'll find something new. http://applefool.com/se30/

Very well, hopefully your positive matters continue to your satisfaction. I'll mark you down as person #2 who has replied to my requests for info across 5 forums. So you're special!

Ah, very much thanks for the offer. I was able to wrangle one out of some eBay sellers for less than they were asking for (a lot), but still paid (a lot). Perhaps you have other things on that list? Many are probably lost forever.

I don't know where to put this and I'm cross posting it between one or more forums, so here goes... So I'm dredging the internet hard and coming up short on a lot of older Macintosh publications, manuals and so forth. One thing on my mind right now is the manual for the Inter-Poll / InterPoll...

If it doesn't boot System 6, it's just an underperforming G3 or G4.

gaaaaah Mine is a V2 external model. It's been extremely handy with dealing with some machines for the final stretch of real hardware testing for the CMN 4.0 release. I found about the self-nuking principle in a rather uncomfortable scenario, bit of a long story. But it's been great for fooling...
