    The Neither Net adapter help with Mac Plus

    Could you describe your hardware setup in detail? As indicated in the video you mention, you still need a LocalTalk bridge (Mac with both EtherNet and LocalTalk or a dedicated device) to bridge your NeitherNet to Ethernet.

    Looks like it‘s time to pull my USB zip out of the cupboard to check if it‘s still working… 😃

    "Brand New" USB Translucent Zip Drive Error

    It is not impossible this could be a electrolytic capacitor issue (due to the lack of use in the last decades ?) Do you consider recapping?

    Playing with a Recreated TechStep

    I mean does the SE/30 has its original ROM SIMM (or did you upgrade to a IIsi or Rominator II ROM). My SE/30 enters test mode only with the original ROM SIMM.

    I have a very similar issue with my Macintosh Classic. It is a replica board though…

    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.

    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?

    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?
