    Macintosh SE Won't Boot System 7

    Others will probably have a more definitive answer, but I'd suspect that you may have some bad memory. How many sticks of RAM are in there? Have you tried booting with a single stick?

    BlueSCSI - Open, Low Cost, DIY SCSI to SD device

    Yeah, my first self assembled DB25 kit, apparently my bluepill is sitting a bit high, because the jumper pins (and subsequently the jumpers) keep the top of the case from sitting flush. If you want a little more wiggle room in the top of your case, here's one that is 1mm taller. Also included...

    Using the Sun to restore a yellow Macintosh ☀️

    My one concern about the slow sous vide method (especially if going for 24h) is floating pieces. Key caps can float and I worry about keys getting uneven coverage of the peroxide.

    Using the Sun to restore a yellow Macintosh ☀️

    I believe the ozone method has been tried and was not effective. Also could be damaging to metals, I believe. Certainly something people can try, but so far hydrogen peroxide in the hot sun seems to be the most effective approach, if done with caution.

    Using the Sun to restore a yellow Macintosh ☀️

    Yeah, I've used just pure Peroxide creme (40vol) and reapply every 15-20 minutes (depending on how hot the South Carolina sun is that day). My goal is to keep the creme from drying in between coats. I also try to apply the brush strokes in opposite directions each time to try to minimize risk...

    Error trying to install 2010 fix on eMate

    The exact error was "An error had occurred during loading; probably out of memory. The System Update was not installed". I'm running system version 2.2.01, I believe. ROM shows version 2.1 (737246)-1. I ran the patch remover (I didn't think it would have a patch, since I got it from someone...

    Error trying to install 2010 fix on eMate

    I finally got around to setting up my Newton devices to load software from my Powerbook G3. I was able to get the 110/120/130 loaded with the 2010 fix and get the date set properly. However, I was trying to get my eMate fixe up with Eckhart Köppen's 2010 fix. Unfortunately, it fails with the...

    Opening an external LaCie Tsumami case

    So I finally decided to fire mine up and was surprised the 250MB Quantum inside still worked. Extremely load, so I doubt it will last long. Not a problem, as I'll be throwing a BlueSCSI in mine once my PCBs come in. Are you removing all the electronics, PCU and all, and simply having the...

    MessagePad locked by PIN?

    Thanks, finally got around to installing it and it works great! Appreciate the info! It's nice to have my Newton reflect the proper date.

    Installing Mac OS X Leopard on the Apple TV (1st generation)

    I suspected the powered hub may be the problem, but don't have a powered hub on hand. Then I remember that I have a powered USB switch. So I used that and it turns out the unpowered hub was it. Thanks for the information. Playing around with it now! I may try @z90 's idea of throwing some of...

    120GB SSDs in G4 Cube

    Wouldn't you be able to use a MSATA IDE enclosure (I've had good luck with this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GRMUQRG?psc=1&smid=A3TUR5JBYCEPNE&ref_=chk_typ_imgToDp) attached via a IDE 2.5 to 3.5 adapter (I've used this one...

    Installing Mac OS X Leopard on the Apple TV (1st generation)

    So, got the USB drive imaged and followed the steps for making it bootable, but when I boot it with the USB drive attached, I get the Apple logo, then I just get a spinner with the 🚫 symbol. Assuming I did something wrong when modifying the partitions?

    Installing Mac OS X Leopard on the Apple TV (1st generation)

    Yeah, I don't think Monterey likes the disk image. I had to do it from my 2009 Mac Pro with Mojave.

    Awesome. I’ll print them out so they’ll be ready when my PCBs come in. I’ll let you know if I run into any fit issues

    "Platinum" PLA for Macs and Apple ][s

    Yeah, unfortunately, it looks like shipping to the US doubles the cost. Anyone find a US source for that filament? Also curious to see the results. My black Mystic back plate is less than ideal! :)

    Sure. If you post them, I can create a PR in the GitHub repo to add them to the 3d printed directory. Or if there's anything else I can do to lighten the load...

    BlueSCSI - Open, Low Cost, DIY SCSI to SD device

    Oh, didn't realize you bought the kit, Thought you had done the DIY version where you just got the PCB from @eric. I also got one included with my pre-assembled order from @torbar. Maybe he has the STL files we could use.
