    SE/30 no ADB

    And it‘s clear this is a n/c pad since there is no trace to it. Btw you seldom repair such a board by replacing chips. Broken fuses, traces, solder joints or leaking capacitors are much more common. Let‘s hope you didn‘t do more damage to it.

    SE/30 no ADB

    On PLCC chips, you count from the dot.

    SE/30 no ADB

    This pad (pin 5) is deliberately not connected, so there should be no difference. The part at L1 is an inductor (coiled wire) and most certainly not in need of replacment.

    Apple Keyboard M0116 recap

    mF should mean millifarads. However, I agree 1uF is much more realistic for what you describe.

    I Bought 8 x 16MB SIMMs from tindie.

    siliconinsider usually does a great job. I have 4x4MB SIMMs from him in my SE/30 which work great! The SE/30 however is very picky about RAM. Did you install them correctly? What are the symptoms?

    My first severely battery-bombed Classic Mac... any advice ?

    I used a little bit of WD-40 and bent the chassis slightly outwards.

    Mac 128K & SE/30 Trivia Question — A Shocking Truth

    I didn‘t hear that either, but I have heard that the SE / SE/30 have shockingly thin wires, causing significant voltage drop.

    Mac 128K & SE/30 Trivia Question — A Shocking Truth

    Well, if I believe the rumours, the 128k must have the thicker wires 🙈

    SMC ROM Simm programming

    I‘m not quite sure if this is a helpful answer, but I use my TL866II+ with modern macOS using minipro. Maybe the T48 is also supported..

    I Have A Stupid Question...

    There is no point, except for aesthetics. Just put your screen into stand-by mode or switch it off.

    Is this the same as the well-known Supermario source code?

    Are you sure your image files on the SD card are not fragmented?

    Found my Oscilloscope?

    I‘d just go for a decent USB scope.. Or a Saleae logic analyzer, which also has analog inputs.

    BlueSCSI v2 Pico - Low cost, open hardware, fast SCSI device!

    You can probably read the IP address from ARP packets (or even send your own requests to the Mac)

    BlueSCSI v2 in a Performa 5300 CD?

    Instead of a BlueSCSI, it might be simpler/cheaper to use a generic IDE to SD adapter.

    Is this socketed?

    I‘d assume it‘s soldered. At least the same variation of the ‘030 was soldered in my SE/30. I believe the golden ones are socketed. Why do you want to remove it? Is it a battery bombed board?

    Simisimac w/ horizontal zebra stripes - how terminal?

    If it‘s a SE/30, are you sure the RAM is compatible? I also had these stripes on mine despite known-good RAM. I tried different modules, and it booted..
