Eric...gonna love not having a LONG .ini file. System=NeXT will be a welcome addition.

Hi Michael. I ran into similar issues when installing NS 3.3 on a 712...but did get it working. A couple of things... 1. Make sure your NS 3.3 drive is 2GB. NS 3.3 can not use 'drives' larger than 2GB. Use the dd command to create the image. -- 2GB dd if=/dev/zero of=hda bs=1M...

@Ubik Hey there....from what I saw, he has a plan to review this PSU in a future video. =)

@This Does Not Compute I agree with ya. Guess everyone has their own take on how to get to the same place….building that better mousetrap. 😁😁

Great that you've had such a good result with this! I have recapped several Sony and Astec PSU's for both the SE and SE/30. All of them are happy, thankfully. I did have one of the Hitachi, "Made in Singapore" models which gave up the ghost though.

I've been meaning to publish an update here to things that happened back in late May. Since then, the issues with the first SE build [v1.5b] have been resolved. Those issues were centered around Floppy, SCSI and ADB. Interestingly enough, all of the issues were fixed by changing out the...

Good that you have system disks...those can be gotten from multiple sources online [for multiple versions]. If you're going inside your SE...clean, lubricate, change the cheese gear and recap the drives. You'll save a lot of headaches later on. For a good reference on how to do all of that...

Hi there. You'd need a system disk each time you start up. There is no storage in ROM. Once you have your SD card solution in place, no more need for a system disk, since you'd have a System Folder there.

Greetings fellow Vintage Mac Enthusiasts. For those who are currently involved with or have completed a IIci Reloaded build, I seek your help and assistance. With great thanks to @max1zzz [and others], bringing us this wonderful board, I have not found a solid BOM/build plan yet. To have the...

Folks, Chris from 68kMLA has posted the drop-in replacement PSU on eBay! https://www.ebay.com/itm/266898469654 He is charging $135 and will ship internationally. I did a couple of rounds of testing for this PSU. All values taken from the same test rig [using an SE* with an internal 800k...

Hey there...yes! That is the post from 68kMLA. I spaced on adding that along with my original post. Thank ya for adding that in!

Greetings fellow Compact Mac Enthusiasts! Do you have a PSU that is beyond repair due to cap damage? Looking to get that rig back up and running? You may have found your answer here! A gentleman over on the 68kMLA forums has put together a drop-in replacement PSU for the SE and SE/30 that...

This is the capacitor list, with measurements and a Mouser cart for quicker purchasing. Total cost of the cart is $25 plus applicable shipping and taxes [calculated at time of checkout]. Measurements provided can be used to create your own cart with choice of cap manufacturer. Mouser cart...

@Kai Robinson The 1.5b board was purchased direct from MacEffects. .

Heya @Kai Robinson More detail for your review. I got my SE put back together after the little ADB fiasco I found myself in. First startup, there was some happiness....a startup chime, followed by an arrow pointer and a disk with a flashing question mark. OK, I thought...we're gonna be good...

True. But we’re learning more about the issues so they can be corrected. =)

Hiya @callanbrown. Alrighty...after some further looking into things, here's what I found: 1. When using a 1MB setup [4x256KB SIMMs]...placed in SIMM1 and SIMM2, with J16 set to the 1MB position - startup chime with vertical lines. 2. When using a 2MB setup [2x1MB] placed in SIMM1 and SIMM2...

Finally got to testing things out. My initial tests were just focused on the jumpers, which appeared to have continuity as expected. In a conversation with @JDW, I got a little more direction and did some further testing. The results were: When testing, I did it in either direction, using...

@JDW and @callanbrown -- I'm about a day away from final assembly of my board -- socketed IC's and such. I can test with 1 and 2MB combinations when things are up. As far as the schematics...those I don't have. However, if they're available somewhere, can certainly take a peek.

Wanted to chime in a bit on this.... The 'sound board' in the NeXT MegaPixel B/W displays are exactly the same ones used in the Soundbox. Used for connecting a display and keyboard up. For using a Soundbox, you do need a custom Y-cable that lets you go from the Soundbox to a display -- this...
