Have you got any pictures of the machine to help us identify the model?

L88M's might be the pinnacle, but the K63H's are good - maybe he has some of them? Also E42K RC33's would be a decent buy.

Aaaah, OK, it's a Sawtooth (AGP) machine - not a Digital Audio model. OK that helps narrow it down. Looks like the DRAM is fully populated - how much is in there? It should show the capacity on each DIMM - it's possible you may have bad RAM.

...it's our raison d'etre, afterall :D

And the paperwork is done - I'm employed again! :D

So, if you re-read what i was saying - the faulty one will be in SIMM SLOT 2. You could get a SIMCHECK unit, or something similar - however, the only way you can really test without one, is 'in-situ' using an oscilloscope. If you probe the data and address lines you should be able to see which...

30-pin SIMM's are 8-bit wide, so, the problem is in one of the right most SIMMs on the board, not the leftmost. so - Slots 2 & 4. Left SIMM is D0 to D7, Right SIMM is D8 to D15. On the SE, there is only one bank, Bank A. Each SIMM uses 1-bit wide chips - from left to right, so in a single...

Just an idea to throw into the mix - how about a community led initiative as a goal? Ie, people put ideas for a useful program they'd like, that doesn't exist, and everyone has their own go at the idea, posts them, and we pick a winner, and give some sort of accolade or potentially a prize?

Any particular DOS version required?

OK again - to clarify - the ADB chips are pre-programmed PIC16CR54's. I made an adapter board to use the newer PLCC ADB in place of the DIP part (which is only used on the SE). @Branchus has used one of these adapters in an SE and it worked fine. The adapter PCB is open source, you just need a...

One little trick is to get a 40mm fan - one with a passthrough molex connector on it for power and use the CD drive power cable. These fit perfectly inside the heatsink and do a nice job of keeping them cool.

I'd leave it be - however, eventually it may be worth looking at all the legs under a scope and prodding them with a small plastic spudger tool to see if any move. I believe @Mac84 had to do this to make a daystar PPC card work.

Anyone on here into No Man's Sky, at all? I just spooled up a Creative instance, for the first time since 2020, and i'm enjoying it so far, it's a definite time sink though.

Question - if you rest the heatsink on top without putting the clip on, does it still chime? I have a theory that the CPU itself may have a weak leg somewhere, and the clamping force is making the CPU legs buckle/lose contact.

Hmm, are you sure the PSU is good?

Hi! Can we get a little more detail on the machine? Would be useful to know what year/model it is - have any pics? :)

That's from Larry Pina's Dead Mac Scrolls
