    Interesting solution for LocalTalk to Ethernet bridge

    It looks like that one is Serial-TP/BNC ethernet, which would be similar just with different available plugs.

    I'm honestly shocked that CRT survived!

    SimCity 2000 cheat patch -- anyone remember it?

    Not to hijack this thread (but actually doing it anyways), but do you know what the minimum specs are for SimCity 1 & 2000 on 68k? I've been having trouble finding them and I was hoping to try out at least 1 on my SE but there seem to be a lot of re-releases of each of them.

    T15 Torx Screwdriver for Compact Macs

    It's only an ad if you're getting paid for it ;) I use the iFixit Mako which covers 90% of my use cases, but with these old Macs a decent fixed-bit driver can really help if the screw's a little stuck.

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    Wow, I had no idea just getting USB to work was that involved on this thing! I personally would be fine with just Windows, but as a second platform Linux would be my second vote. My only general concern would be if you based this around that one Windows API too closely which could lock out...

    Mac SE Fan Replacement

    Swapped the fan today, worked great! Special thanks again to @JDW's video - it definitely helped when I got stuck a couple times! Those things are weird to take apart, haha

    Gotcha, in retrospect I guess I should have just gone with that instead of this thing + a BlueSCSI, but... oh well lol

    Where to Buy Prints

    Thanks for the suggestions! I've actually been the The Bodgery before, unfortunately you have to be a member to use their printer and they aren't accepting new applications due to COVID. Additionally I believe UW's space is only for students. I will check out Shapeways though!

    Getting a Macintosh SE Online

    I appreciate the information, I didn't realize this approach would end up so hacky lol. Is the "correct" way to get ethernet on an SE to either get a PDS card or use a SCSI adapter (including RaSCSI emulating one)?

    Where to Buy Prints

    I've seen a lot of cool 3D printed items on here, but I don't own a 3D printer. Is there an affordable & reliable place to order one-of printed items? Or is it better to just buy a low-end printer myself? Ideally I'd like to avoid buying one since it'd just take up space most of the time. Thanks...

    Ah, so this will *only* work for IP? So I wouldn't have access to, for example, AFP file sharing?

    Getting a Macintosh SE Online

    He doesn't have instructions for the Mac, however since it's SLIP not PPP I think software like InterSLIP could be used. I think instructions along these lines may work: http://www.ibiblio.org/purdy/SLiRP.html However keep in mind that I neither have the device yet nor have any idea what I'm...

    Getting a Macintosh SE Online

    Umm, I guess I'm not sure - I guess I just assumed there would be equivalent ways to set it up for Mac, but I have no idea. I'll contact the seller to see if there are instructions. If not, I'll try to figure it out myself once it gets here. Worst case I'll just play around with the modem...

    It supports ethernet emulation now, which I imagine would be a lot faster? Serial is still slower than SCSI of course, so I guess we'll see!

    Getting a Macintosh SE Online

    I've had trouble finding those everywhere except in-store at MicroCenter (and unfortunately there isn't one near me) and resold at high prices. Plus the RaSCSI is more expensive in the Zero configuration. Maybe I'll pick one up in the future, but for now I'm just going to mess around with a...

    Mac SE Fan Replacement

    Thank you all so much! I feel a lot more comfortable with what to do now. I'll just order some alligator clips with the fan. I'm just going to go with the Noctua. I got the one that works on Molex so I don't have to solder anything.

    Mac SE Fan Replacement

    Thanks! That video answered a lot of my questions. lol, I got that far already by myself :ROFLMAO: I had more questions about this but JDW's video actually shows it in the SE, which is great! My remaining questions here are more general: -During this process, what are the "DO NOT TOUCH"...

    Mac SE Fan Replacement

    I just got a Mac SE which works perfectly!... Which means it's now time to mess with it 😁 The built-in fan is loud (as is typical) and it seems easy enough to replace. My understanding is that a standard 12V 60mm fan like the Noctua NF-A6x25 FLX is a good replacement. I opened my SE up and...
