    SE/30 Horizontal lines due to an oversight

    After my first handful of surface mounted chips didn't work after initial replacement, I developed the habit to brute-force check every pair of neighboring pins for those hard-to-spot bridges. When I get a continuity beep, I double-check the schematics in case the neighboring pins are actually...

    Replacement Memory for Compact Mac?

    For what it is worth, I've used modules from Memory Masters on eBay for several SE/30s, a Color Classic, a Mystic upgraded Color Classic, and a Centris 650. All have worked just fine and I have no complaints.
