It's Revenge of the Fifth!

Update - with more testing, it seems to be consistent with an Error 10 in the Finder. I realize Error 10 can be many,many things...

I have an SE/30 that I recapped that appears to be working correctly except for one thing. It will read floppies correctly, and will write floppies some of the time, but the rest of the time, and _always_ when I try to format a floppy, it will crash with a "bus error" in the Finder, or just lock...

If I didn't have the MacEffects card, I'd totally be in. If anyone is on the fence about this, you definitely want the extra RAM in your Portable!

I am bringing an Octane back to life... Hinv says it has an EMXI video board. Part number 030-1240-003. Machine boots up fine to the splash screen, etc. but when I run the system diagnostics I get the error "RDRAM Quick Failed XIO Slot 12 Part number 030-1240-003 MOT20 Rev C". The research I've...

I brought one of these to VCFMW last year but can't remember who ended up with it... maybe @Mac84?

I skimmed the list. Prices seem fair from what I've seen lately, maybe even a bit low.

I have one of these guys and a Control Panel I can dig up for you that gives you some tools. There's also a product called "Virtual" that will let the SE see the memory on the AE card, so you can have an SE with a 68030 and 16MB of RAM.

So - wrong name for the app and the wrong machine - about par for how my day has been going :)

OK - that's not too scary, then :) Put me down as a "YES" for a kit!

Wasn't there an app called something like "Memory gobbler" or "grabber" or "eater" that did this for you on the IIci?

Umm - how hard is the "build it yourself"?

Once the pile of snow from the snowplow in front of my third stall melts a bit more, it will be time to get out the '82 RX-7 :)

OK, but what's under the car cover? :)

Also, IIci can be funky with termination power, at least on the internal connector. If you are doing the external device only, I think you need at least a passive terminator on the internal connector.

I found that a drop of xylene (a solvent you can get at a hardware store in the US) does a good job of dissolving the dried up grease on these drives. Just a drop or so from a cotton swab should do the trick. Do this in a well ventilated area! I found that isopropyl alcohol doesn't do a good...

In these machines, isn't one battery for the startup circuit, and the other for the PRAM? I didn't think they were both feeding the same circuit, but I could be wrong! :)

FWIW, SheepShaver works fine on my Mac Studio.

I made a small donation last week.

Might be something like Letraset dry-transfer lettering...
