Colin is still having nightmares from his SE/30 reloaded project (Which came out beautiful BTW) but lucky us we get to enjoy the plethora of information he gathered along the way!

Rotation can normally be adjusted by loosening the clamp securing the deflection coil on the neck of the CRT with the monitor powered off. Once loose, power on the monitor, avoiding touching the metal wires on the deflection coil, rotating it via the outer plastic ring until the image is...

I know this was a bit ago but I just did this speaker replacement last night on my DV SE. I used some JBL replacements from Amazon and they also fit perfectly. The rear housing of the old speakers are meant to shield the CRT from the magnetism of the speakers. They are glued to the old speakers...

Then the only other thing that would stop a IIci from booting would be the soft power circuit by the power button. They are these three chips around the SMD caps: (UB13, UE13 and the other escapes me) You might need to remove them and clean up any cap juice underneath, clean up the pads and...

Y2krecall, So odd that it chimed when you last tired and nothing now. I know you mentioned voltages were good but have you tried with an external PSU? My PSU has not failed yet but I have heard nightmares on the recap process so it might be easier to just test with an ATX PSU like described...

I think it would be a good start to remove the battery no matter what and at the same time get us some photos. It is a ticking time bomb and will destroy the computer. As redundant as it may sound, step one on all of these old Macs is to replace the capacitors. Console5 is a great place to buy...

Hello, Some questions for you. But first, the Performa 200 is the same as the Classic II so you might also find more info searching for that model. Have you opened the case to see the condition of the main logic board? This era of Mac is well knows for leaking caps and even worse, the...

SCSI Termination is not too hard to understand, but I agree, in the beginning it can be quite daunting. In essence the first and last SCSI device on the chain need to be terminated. With that said, adding a termination that is not needed will not damage anything in my experience. It will just...

@Stinkerton18 never too late to these types of threads. I have not had a chance to try the toolbox with my card, I promise the moment I have a bit of free time, i will give it a try. The funny thing about my card is that I never loaded and drivers, and if I am being honest, I wouldn't know...

You my friend are a genius. PicoGUS is working like a charm. I backed up my working image in case I messed anything up then used WinImage to create the folders and transfer the files needed to get it working. From there it was a piece of cake. Now I need to make some time to test out the...

My next challenge is to get my PicoGUS working and after reading the documentation, I was stumped at how they wanted me to "extract" the install files over to the 486 being that the sum of the zip file does not fit on a single floppy. This is definitely going to help! Will try the DOS APP and...

Got it working!!! So here is what I learned. I sat and read the manual for my SCSI controller and it states that you can't skip SCSI ID's, on this controller, you just set the first device to ID0 and the second to ID1, etc. So trying ID3 and ID4 was the reason it was seeing the HD .img files...

Good Morning Bakkus, Here is a copy of the logs: Platform: BlueSCSI Pico FW Version: 2023.11.16-release Nov 17 2023 03:26:27 Flash chip size: 2048 kB === SD Card Info === SD card detected, exFAT volume size: 7661 MB SD Name: SMI , MID: 0x6F, OID: 0x00 0x13 === Global Config === Config...

Hello Tinkerers, I have been trying to get my BlueSCSI v2 DB25 to boot and I have been having issues to say the least. My SCSI card is an Always IN-2000 ISA card with Bios. If I set a blank image as ID0 the bios says it sees a SCSI HDD but using MS DOS DEBUG as the manual says to initialize...

Thanks for the info Kai! Knowing that any old ROM might exhibit the issue at some point makes me lean towards another ROM-inator II. Just seems more beneficial in so many other ways. Guess I have myself a working SE/30 :) Your feedback is much appreciated and it is a pleasure Kai! You are one...

Hello Everyone, First post here, transferred from 68KMLA. Recently purchased a SE/30 with SIMASIMAC. When I received it I did a full RECAP but that did not solve the issue. I had watched the G.O.A.T MAC84 going over an SE/30 and noticed he replaced the Stock ROM with a ROM-inator II and that...
