I'm very pleased with my BlueSCSI v2. As a feature enhancement for BlueSCSI team, would it be possible & feasible to support a multi boot like Linux GRUB so a user can choose to boot with alternative HD0 partitions e.g. to switch between Mac OS 6, 7... ?

I bought new purple 4 * 4MB RAM which work well on my Mac SE 30. I found an interesting article to install Mac OS 8 on a Mac SE 30 from MetalBabble blog. However the links to download the os8 patch no longer works. Has anyone try it and has a copy of the required files, especially the patch ?

I installed 16MB RAM to have a total of 20MB RAM. It works well and most games run now without any error. The only exception is Star Wars which also crashed in miniVMac on a PC so I assume it doesn't work well with 7 Mac OS as suggested.

Ok thanks for the info. So I understand that I need to disable the 32 bit mode and increase my RAM to avoid games crashing if I keep Mac OS 7.5.

Would the Rominator II sort the issue with its "make your system 32-bit clean" feature ?

I downloaded the games from macintoshrepository.org e.g. . shufflepuck-cafe I installed Mode32 and enabled the 32 bits memory. I'm still had the getting the error. Cleaning the RAM simms didn't sort the issue. I removed the 4*256k RAM to keep the 4 * 1MB RAMs and enabled the virtual memory...

Hi I'm using Mac OS 7.5.3 with most extensions installed. Shall I install a new OS with the minimum set of extensions ?

I'm often getting a Bus error message before having to restart the Mac. Do I need to add more RAM ?

Turned out that something was wrong as none of the Wifi worked. I installed the latest firmware on the Pico and it worked again :) thanks for the prompt reply

Hi I started playing with games on my Mac SE 30 with OS 7.5.3, 5 MB RAM, and BlueSCSI (Beyond Castle, Shufflepuck cafe...) For some odd reasons, games sometimes crash and I have to restart the Mac. What could be the reason ? Not enough or bad RAM ?

Hi I'm trying to set up the Wifi on a Mac SE30 using a BlueSCSI v2. I put my SSID and password in the ini file. When I start the Mac, I tried the MacTCP but it doesn't work. Looking at the log file, I'm getting the following: * ID: 4, Type: Network, Quirks: Apple .. Wi-Fi MAC: ... Connecting...

Thanks for the advice. I found these on eBay: RAM SIMM 4 * 4MB If I keep the 4 x 1MB and add these 4 SIMMS, I'll get 20 MB. Will it work and do I need Mode32 installed ?

Hi, After recapping the board, I have a functional Mac SE/30 with Mac OS 7.5.3 + 5 MB RAM (probably 4 * 1MB + 4 * 256kB) + BlueSCSI v2. I'm looking at options to expand the RAM using Connectix Mode32. Does it work without a Rominator ? I read it would let me support up to 128MB. What's the...

Well spotted thanks, I replaced C1

I completed the recap of the board with the remaining capacitors (see photo). It's all working fine :)

According to this link, C7 is a 47 µF like the other ones: https://macdat.net/cap_reference/apple/compact/se30.html Thanks for the info about C11, I will cut the legs of the old capacitor and use them to solder the new one.

Hi, I started by replacing capacitors C3 ,C4, C5 and C6 and it solved the problem, hurray! The sound is working again :D Thanks everyone for your help. I continued replacing the remaining capacitors using the wiring diagram here: Wiring Diagram I replaced C2 and I struggled a bit not only to...

It's actually pretty clean as on the attached photos. I took pictures of some of the capacitors.

Should I clean the board after or before removing the capacitors? I read article on people putting it in demineralized water or vinegar + water before cleaning and drying it. Is it worth doing ?

I'll start with these capacitors thanks. I ordered some flux paste. Never used it before but it seems convenient indeed to help with the soldering. Does it protect the board from the iron heat when soldering ?
