but at least your problem's resolved now

yup, the wonders of modern VGA. Modern VGA monitors use an extra pin which powers a ROM on the monitor which communicates its capabilities to the graphics card or system

weird, the monitor must not like anything that isn't remotely close to its native resolution

hold command, option, p, and r on startup, once you hear the chime the second time, release those buttons, it should reset the resolution

imagine that on more macs, I know the Classic kind of has one with its ROM disk, but what about the other Macs?

it's roughly the same as S-video, because I've seen videos of people using S-video cables with ADB accessories

indeed it is. Mac OS 8 does automatically enable 32-bit addressing if it is off, I believe

what you can do is hold down command and v, which will put it in verbose mode, which should tell you what's causing it to hang on shutdown

maybe a cracked solder joint on VRAM?

you're better off pulling one off a dead SE

let us know if it works

I wonder if the 68881 can be replaced with a 68882

I was also gonna say, SE/30s are picky about their RAM as well

then recap it, no wonder it isn't booting up

check the voltages from the power supply, a Macintosh will not boot up if it's below 4.9x volts

cut & polish might work on the acrylic, or a buffing wheel for a drill

I stand corrected, thx!

those aren't being made anymore, you'd have to pull one off another SE/30 or iisi

does the same have to be done with 7.6 and 7.6.1? I know some hacking has to be done for OS 8 and 8.1 to boot, but what about the two other versions of system 7?

I cannot wait to see this evolve! I have a Performa 6214 that I might do this to to make it my PowerPC test bench. I know the edge connector is different, but I'm sure I could find a pinout of the connector if need be
