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...

I'm more worried about the habitual self-nuking that has happened on two 68040 machines, sometimes within single digit minutes of it being booted. It's made me reconsider BlueSCSI for internal applications. IDK what a tantalum board looks like besides your image. A good image for an...

All this talk of batteries got me remembering, at least Maxell apologized... https://web.archive.org/web/20221109215132/https://nitter.net/MaxellCorp/status/1588314702844952576#m https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/maxell-responded-to-the-battery-leak-issue-on-twitter.42585/ I use normal...

yeah Manual in PDF format and copy of the installer disk will be available with v4.0 of CMN. Along with some other scans of manuals.

Found out why mine doesn't have the ROM HI and LOW chips. You get them from the SE motherboard.

Well what I mean is take care of it, and 40 year old capacitors need to be changed. But tantalums can go BOOM (like here) and electrolyctics work just fine. If you buy quality ones they'll also last a long time. IIfx ROM and Mac OS 8.1 I don't quite understand though, the SE/30 is already...

There's going to be a special place in the future for those who keep their SE/30s pretty much, well, stock. Stock ROM, original battery configuration, spinning disk, electrolytic capacitors, original fan, ... When was the last time you saw a original, well preserved unmodified Golf MK1 GTI...
