    Two SE/30 Boards - memory woes

    SE/30s are picky about their RAM, so it's just a matter of trial and error to see what works, and for the memory, the ROMinator is slightly thinner and a standard ROM SIMM, I know BMOW said there was a way to make it work in another forum post, but it has escaped my memory

    Checkerboard Macintosh Classic

    any time, enjoy that Macintosh Classic! I used to own one, but I hated how slow it was on system 7.5 and was too stubborn to put it back to 7.1 or earlier, so I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a Classic II

    Checkerboard Macintosh Classic

    I've never used BlueSCSI, only SCSI2SD, but I believe the card should be formatted FAT32. ExFAT might work, but I'd check with others that have used the BlueSCSI to see if that works. And usually, I just order caps I need off digikey or mouser, but cap kits are the best way to go, especially...

    capacitors. If you have not had the analog and logic boards recapped, get them recapped as soon as you can

    Checkerboard Macintosh Classic

    check the voltages from the floppy port. I don't have the image that shows which pins to probe, but I'm sure someone will chip in the does

    The black Mac no one asked for (Powermac G3 All-In-One Molar)

    believe it or not, and I tested this on my own hardware, just leaving the yellowed plastic outside in the sun can de-yellow it. Yes, it's slower than using peroxide, but I've seen the results with my own eyes, and taken photos

    Macintosh SE/30 - Activity LED Amber

    ok yeah it being so dim is an issue. You can probably look on digikey or mouser for a new part

    Macintosh SE/30 - Activity LED Amber

    That's the normal color. An LED's color doesn't change over time, only if the temperature is changed does it shift, and even then ever so slightly

    Macintosh LC III with FPU and PDS Ethernet card

    I kind of put it off, because I had a set on Amazon saved for later, but the listing kind of disappeared off the face of the earth before I could buy it

    Macintosh LC III with FPU and PDS Ethernet card

    My LC III ++ happens to have that Farallon ethernet card that doesn't have the FPU socket, and it has an FPU installed in the socket on the logic board (33MHz part because I overclocked my LC III to 33MHz from the stock 25MHz)

    Macintosh LC III with FPU and PDS Ethernet card

    be careful doing this, as you may damage the FPU or socket, but try extracting it with a flathead screwdriver, pry on each side where the PLCC extractor would go and pop it out

    SCSI graphics card, via Raspberry Pi HDMI

    That's for the PiSCSI. The BlueSCSI and the PiSCSI are not the same. the PiSCSI uses a Raspberry Pi computer, the BlueSCSI uses the BluePill and Raspberry Pi Pico, which are, say it with me, microcontrollers

    Macintosh LC III with BlueSCSI not booting unless I reset the PRAM

    that's good, internal drive should always be drive 0, Macs always default to booting from drive 0
