    Mac SE/30 bad condition

    Transplanting the components to a newly fabricated circuit board is your only option (if you are good at soldering). Otherwise, you can ask someone to do this for you or sell the Mac as-is.

    Mac Classic - available sockets for MicroMac Performer?

    There is no problem with the availability of PLCC sockets in general. You just need one which sticks on the non-socketed, soldered PLCC chip from above. This is a very rare use case! You could buy a few different sockets and try them. Maybe some will work.

    Qemu SMP G4 CPUs

    Very impressive! Is the emulation running on different host CPUs or everything on the same one?

    Can you quote any source? TI still lists the 75175 as active…

    Help, PowerBook 190cs accidentally set colors to thousands of colors!

    Maybe this helps: delete the preferences in the system folder, then zap the pram

    Update SCSI driver grayed out - why?

    HD SC Setup can probably only replace its own (Apple) drivers. Best try other apps, maybe Silverlining might be able to do this. Or just re-initialize it….

    SE/30 won't boot from internal SCSI

    This is very strange… Did you already try some „known working“ BlueSCSI image? Is the BlueSCSI terminated? You could also try to set the startup disk and then restart. The original HD is no longer connected?

    powebook 1400c freezes when I have an HDI-30 cable plugged in

    I guess you didn’t plug that cable in while the system was running? You are not supposed to do that 😉

    Mac SE memory management

    You could try to allocate less memory to the routing and zone tables. The setting is inside the Internet Router Application.

    Recapped SE/30 with No Video

    Your analog board is certainly repairable; if you decide to part with it and the CRT, please consider offering it for sale here! 😊

    IIsi Power Supply unknown part

    Possibly. Best check for continuity and make sure you didn‘t create an internal short circuit

    IIsi Power Supply unknown part

    It‘s an inductor (coil). Are you sure it‘s damaged?
