Stock SE/30 ROM. Nothing unique about the ROM.

@YMK You are correct about the error in that LEM article! Wow. I never noticed that. BTW, this discussion explains why adding more VRAM to an SE/30 won't do anything. Thank you for the PDF. I read most of it, including the last 3 pages, but that closing text pertains mostly to the...

If price matters most to you, and if you prefer not to use my Mouser Cart, I do see that Console5 has a US edition Analog Board recap kit below, and it seems to include the RIFA caps too... https://console5.com/store/macintosh-128k-512k-plus-analog-pcb-cap-kit-630-0102-661-0462.html However...

My suggested replacement cap is a FILM type capacitor. Those almost always have very high voltage ratings. And that significantly higher voltage rating doesn't matter at all. Most people who lack a schematic just need to recap based on the stock cap's marked voltage and buy the same or...

@keelus My complete Mouser Cart is here, and my video is here. See the text description under the video on Youtube for lots more info! (For US Analog Boards only, not international.) There is a cap kit for the International Analog Boards on Console5 here, but sadly, it doesn't include the...

According to this LEM page, unless you are installing 17MB, you should be putting the larger sized SIMMs into Bank A, with the smaller sized SIMMs into Bank B. However, when I put four 16MB SIMMs into Bank A, and nothing in Bank B, I get death chimes and a crazy display. But if then put 4...

I made some time after work this evening to test all 3 of my BlueSCSI units (2 of which are now overclocked) on a PowerMac 9600/300 with a Buffalo 400MHz G4 (7400) CPU card installed. All were connected externally, with the internal type BlueSCSIs connecting via OverEasy II Rev.B. The minimum...

Hi, Folks! I have 3 "high quality" (well constructed) BlueSCSI units that I acquired from @Kay K.M.Mods, each with different processors... After a discussion with @eric yesterday, I decided to proceed with overclocking these units to see what would happen. My rather straightforward method...

My first computer was the 128K in 1984; and at the time, I had a 300 baud Maccessories portable modem, which included a nifty soft case... Back then, even that pathetically slow modem cost $140... But it still cost less than the $200+ that was common for 300 baud at the time, and 1200 baud...

Nope. :-) Back in the day, I was only into basic dial-up BBSs.

I grew weary of FB for the exact same reason. I didn't care for what my "friends" were eating or their chain-mail style memes. However, I chose to say on FB because I live outside my home country and still have a lot of friends and family on FB. It's a way to keep in touch. But more than...

Thanks for doing that. Interestingly, it's more of a Mac Plus motherboard drawing than a 128K drawing due to the connectors and the two torrid coils. And yet, the RAM chips to the right of the CPU are clearly from the earlier motherboards. Have a look at the obvious differences... Plus...

Thank you! I was actually thinking about just that while taking a shower this morning, prior to reading your post. I installed it in Basilisk II, set it to SE/30, restarted, launched Snooper, and boom! Got the SE/30 motherboard. So I will slowly add these to the opening post so anyone can...

https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/snooper-20 I edited my opening post to add that Macintosh Garden download page. It's a great app to use regularly anyway, screenshots aside. Thanks for the link on your website, by the way. A lot of people overlook what kind of caps are best...

Starting with this post, I found that Snooper 2 has some interesting motherboard photos, worthy of extraction. If you follow that discussion, you will see that it concluded with the finding that we cannot extract them from the PICT resource of the Snooper app. The only reasonable method of...

Although Bruce is probably happy about the extra attention brought to this thread with each subsequent post, it is only right and proper that I start a new thread to address that, which I have done here...

@Ron's Computer Videos Spaceward Ho! is one game I played for countless hours back in the day, and it too has special CMAS graphics on Dec. 25th...

@Kai Robinson kindly offered us some wonderful well-wishing last year, and with it being Christmas today here in Japan I felt compelled to do the same. Forum membership has grown considerably in 2022. I know everyone here at TinkerDifferent would like to extend a huge thank you and warm...
