Could we get a forum to name and shame scammers? I encountered an extremely suspicious seller, and now I am 100% certain they are a scammer. A place where we can share such sellers' names (along with evidence that they are likely scammers - for legal protection of the poster and the forum). I...

I finally got my SE/30 - the zebra stripe fella. It was powering on and showing horizontal zebra stripes before shipping, but now it has a no power condition when turned on. No biggie, hardly a surprise. Probably a cracked solder joint that was barely hanging on before the truck hit a pothole...

Let's hear them! My primary one is getting my new SE/30 working, and then get it setup with my Radius pivot card and display doing the color output. Bonus goal: If I can acquire a clear case by then, I'd love to have it in its new body. What are yours?

https://offerup.com/item/detail/c82c1779-2828-34be-9f92-64b6d3a8fb2c This is kinda the closest forum I could think of for this post. Given it's all in immaculate condition and works... what would you pay? I'm def not paying $600. Thoughts on what a fair price may be? - Katrina

https://offerup.com/item/detail/d2db11b5-5891-3387-91f7-b33101e468c5 Grabbing it tonight or tomorrow. Stoked! I been looking for options for a server, and this will match Apple stuff, even if it's Linux inside. LOL. Woohoo!

I've seen this state referred to as terminal. But... how terminal really? Terminal can mean it's fully dead and needs work. Or it can mean hopeless. Know what I mean? Because I don't! Someone tell me. - Katrina

Two things to solve: 1) Moved over the drive and the mobo from my 575. Key getting "system" bus errors, even when I restart without extensions. Looked at PowerCC and I guess some versions of System 7 need enablers, but the 575 HD I moved over with the board has System 9. What should I do? 2)...

It says this card is compatible with the DayStar 040 accelerator. Would that mean it's also compatible with the original Carrera040 and the Bolle Carrera040? https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/q1125709316?lang=en&rc=yaucc Thanks! - K

https://www.ebay.com/itm/404800313624 70 bones... I'm mostly thinking about hard to find chips and the CRT tube. Worth it? I'd also be cool to sell the parts I'm not looking to have back ups for at no profit.

Model Robot wanted me to ask a question:

Hi all, As I plan out my custom SE/30 build, I wanted to ask y'all if true stereo sound is possible on the SE/30. I'm asking because if it is, I'm going to order 2 matching speakers. If it's not possible, Imma do the stock single speaker setup. Thanks!! - Katrina

Hi all! I'm looking at ultrasonic cleaners and can't seem to find one that is explicitely listed as ESD. The closest I found is a product that claims to be safe for circuit boards, but their photo doesn't show any boards with soldered on chips or other components I have not yet mastered...

I can totally see the sailboat. I dumno what you're talking about. This mac was booting normally when it left the seller on its way to me.

I wanna take an HD20 and make it a battery pack for my Plus. Kinda like an incredibly heavy USB power bank, but for compact Macintosh all-in-ones. How much battery life you lot think it would provide?

Anyone done it? I am looking at Hakko's induction line with great interest. It's a bit different in that the temperature is determined by the tip, but given how induction works and how lightning fast it adjusts (the tip is monitored automatically) I think it would be quite useable! Things like...

OK, it's not from the factory. But it looks like it, save for a few black scuffs on the side, which I'll deal with. Look at this lobo!!! It's like it was put in a chamber that halts time!

... with rubbish soldering options in the prosumer space. Hakko used to be great, but they're leaning so hard into digital UI the wrong way - with buttons, not dials! Louis Rossman hilariously comments they have an "80s alarm clock approach" to setting temperature. And it's true. Their hot air...

Last one (for now... haha) A tools & techniques section to the forums and Discord server would be pretty handy, I think. Coming from automotive hobby life, I know tools are a HUGE part of conversations. People new to the hobby benefit disproportionately from such conversations. Even cooler, new...

Hi again! I'm asking that "neurodiversity/neurodivergence" be added to the anti-discrimination section of the CoC. Many in the neurodivergent community, including myself, do not see our personalities/behaviours as disabilities, but differences. Unfortunately, we live in a world where many...
