Shift-Return merely opened the PICT resource with the same View by PICT setting. However, it doesn't crash immediately when I first open it, which gave me a chance to click the View menu and choose "by Name" -- that avoids the crash. I also don't see an "Open Template..." command. However, in...

After reading your post today, I tried opening the PICT resource of the Snooper 2.0 app using ResEdit 2.3.1 on a real SE/30 (no accelerators) using both a BlueSCSI and a MacSD, running 7.5.5, 7.1 and 6.0.8; but in every case I get a BUS ERROR when I click the scroll bar's down-arrow 3 times. I...

I truly hate rubber bands. Using them to secure broken RAM SIMM slot tabs is easy, but they degrade and break after a few months. Some people say to "hot glue" RAM inside the slots, but that is silly when you are a crazy vintage Mac fan like me who often changes out RAM SIMMS! :-) I added...

That MacEffects case certainly makes a clear difference! :) Don't chuck your old SE case because it looks to be in good condition from what I see in your photo. (The one SE case I have is beat up pretty bad, and the poor Apple logo on front is scratched up like crazy.)

Yes. I have both a hacked and stock version for use with a stock or non-stock SE/30 ROM, in addition to a System 6 System folder, and System Picker can select among them... My external BlueSCSI has June 2022 firmware, and it was that unit in which my PNY 16GB SD card suddenly died. The card...

Yesterday, something happened when I was using an external BlueSCSI and my SE/30 froze but later refused to boot. I put the microSD card into a full sized SD card adapter and then put that into my modern Mac, but it can't even see it in the Finder or Disk Utility or SD Card Formatter. Seems...

Amazing work, @Kay K.M.Mods ! Curious if anyone knows a way to use a Mac (modern or vintage) to accomplish the "Split" in step 4 so a Windows computer is not required.

@iPhil64 I found this Amazon kit (also on Amazon Japan), which has round holes, but I don't think it is gold plated. It should be because the price is expensive at $75!!! https://www.amazon.com/Kigauru-240PCS-Socket-Connector-Sockets/dp/B0B5KLM1P6/ Can you post either a Cart or a complete list...

Basically, you are telling me that the "special technique" is MONEY. 💸😅 US$285 (Amazon USA) or JP¥29,500 (Amazon Japan) to buy the Hakko FX-951 Solder Station and a T12-K blade tip. Hmmm... :unsure: @Kay K.M.Mods , do you buy the official Hakko T12-K from Hakko Japan eShop, or do you buy the...

I absolutely HATE soldering PLCCs or other chips where the pins curl under the body AND when the PCB pads don't extend out from under the legs much at all. It took me well over 1 hour to solder a tiny PLCC chip used on one of the small PCBs that Kai R. sent to me for the SE Reloaded project...

Just wanted to follow-up to ask if (1) you completed your build and (2) if everything worked okay when finished?

Thank you for your time in answering my questions. And I hope you don't mind that I posted here instead of a private email. I thought our public back-and-forth might help other MacSD owners who are reading this thread. In answer to your question, I currently do not have CD audio from MacSD...

@YMK I installed Firmware update 2.0.2 successfully on one of my MacSD units. MacSD Commander is really neat. I love the little animated rocket icon in the upper left corner of the About box! :) I do have a question about the Preferences though. When "Transfer priority" is set to "High"...

Jeff, that's a Mobius brand SE accelerator, but maybe @BFEXTU might have some thoughts on it since it's quite similar to the SuperMac SpeedCard in design, especially with the pins coming out like that at the bottom of the card. Unlike the SpeedCard though, there is a passthru connector on top...

How high have you been able to overclock them? (Please tell me you have overclocked at least one. :) ) Also, I know that Eric Woo sells GENUINE chips, which is a huge deal. But does he also test them too to confirm proper operation? (Maybe @Mr. Fahrenheit would know.)

Thanks for the Feedback. Sorry to hear that. Do you think the problem you have now with the CRT resulted from your fiddling with those two POTs?

Holy cow, @Bolle ! That's the first I've ever seen of that SE-compatible PowerCache. That's the most unique vintage Mac accelerator I've ever seen! Super rare, to be sure! QUESTION: My SE/30 edition socketed PowerCache has no issues with audio. Does your SE edition PowerCache have issues...

@YMK In an earlier post in this thread, @Kay K.M.Mods said that PP7 changes the 5V rail and something else, but he didn't specify what else. I assume 12V too, but maybe something else also? Also note that @Mu0n wrote this 68kMLA post about voltage adjustments where he indicates that PP1...

The reason I didn't highlight the "PowerCache" in yellow in the chart I posted earlier was because it doesn't include the "SE" in the compatibility list... I have the SE/30 edition, which is a socketed accelerator board, but of course the SE has a 68000 which is a different shape. There...

Both. Wow! The 50MHz Gemini Ultra is THE fastest SE edition accelerator I can find, since no 040 accelerators were available for it. But are you saying that when using the newest drive, video is slower than stock when the accelerator is running, or are you saying that the video isn't...
