Wow, excellent work trying to get this back up and running! I can dump the ROM from mine to see if they match. The one ribbon I have always snaps unfortunately. If I tape it together it snaps again…

Wow! It's hard to believe this is painted... Was this the same type of paint you used on the mouse? 😮

Less than a month away... I'm excited! Here's a video from last year. Skip to 2:55 to get an idea of the event space and the stuff people bring. :)

I agree 1,000%. It seems one person posted one that is a prototype and set a silly high number... and then people with normal units thought that theirs was worth that too. I messaged some of those sellers and they had no idea what they had... they didn't even list the ROM packs that were...

This is what fixed my Duo Dock. Those two tiny little capacitors wedged in the power supply (which I had to drill open) were the culprit!

Yes, the second drive plugs into the external floppy port on the back of the system. The second internal drive originated from an external disk drive. Since the Mac 512K only has one internal floppy port, they cut a hole in the side and routed the cable externally to use the external floppy...

Hello everyone! Some of you may have seen the video I did on my odd acquisition (video link), but I wanted to provide some more photos. I purchased it because it really looked slickly done. The seller didn't take a photo of the side of the machine that clearly showed this was a mod... so I...

Great job, keep up the awesome work! :love:

I will be there! I had a blast last time, I can't wait to visit again. ☺️

Oh wow! Cool find! If you aren't up for scanning / photographing those... I'd love to scan in those manuals / booklets to preserve them. :-)

Thanks! Yes that’s the part name that Joe helped me find. Are you aware of what speed I should be looking for that chip? There seem to be many different ones available.

Hello all! Hopefully this tip will help someone in the future. ☺️ My friend sent me a Macintosh SE/30 that was previously recapped, but the previous person didn't clean the pads before putting new caps on. Therefore, it had to be recapped again! Their machine was getting the dreaded Simasimac...

The seller I ordered from (who unfortunately only had one), had it delivered just 4 days after I purchased it. Of course your mileage may vary, but it worked out perfect for me.

Yes! A number of creative and smart individuals are doing just this. Check out this thread where Kai talks about his project on recreating the Macintosh SE board. I also believe a Classic, SE/30, LC, and other boards are in the works by similarly bright individuals.

I totally forgot to report back in... 😅 I ended up ordering the ATTEN ST-862D, I found it on eBay for $191 shipped. I've been using it since the middle of November and I totally love it. It gives me a lot of power when I need it, and has made a lot of things much easier. It also gets hotter...

Nice find! Certainly get those original caps sorted. C49 is certainly a leaky one! May you have a quicker restoration than I did. ;)

Haha! Well after it died again… I did get it working! A small trace by a resistor pack was not connecting to a via. I fixed that and I got the rounded corners and a cursor! It still is acting a bit odd and will freeze, but I’m making progress! 😁

Awesome! :) This past summer I saw Techmoan do a video about those printers and picked one up. I set up a photo booth at VCF East this past October, and it was a huge hit! I'll have to do it again this year. As you noted, the printed images are surprisingly sharp. (y)

Nice work, now THAT'S tinkering different! 🎉

The SE-BUS PC Drive Card is a PDS card from 1987 for the Macintosh SE (not SE/30) models which allows them to connect to the Apple PC 5.25 floppy drive. This drive will read 5.25″ floppy disks that are formatted for PCs (MS-DOS, etc). This pinout is for the cable that goes between the SE-Bus...
