I love mine as well. Works really well and the LCD panel that @zigzagjoe selected is a gem.

I was going to ask if this was the one on sale in San Francisco a few months back on Craigslist. I was tempted but the listing was gone before I could act on it.

An SE/30 with SCC chip issues or problems on the serial circuit will fail to boot under System 7.x whereas it works fine under System 6. There’s apparently some checks that System 7 does during the boot process which will cause a hang. I hit this while fixing one of my SE/30s. I had a post on...

FWIW, four battery bombed IIci/IIcx boards sold on eBay in the past month for around $15-$25 each so certainly a good way to harvest the Apple proprietary chips.

I just found a newer thread regarding display rotation and the RGBtoHDMI project. https://github.com/hoglet67/RGBtoHDMI/issues/412 Might be a solution to provide both rotation and crop? If not, I would think that modifying that code base would be the fastest path to getting something working...

I think the SE/30, IIci, IIcx, IIsi, all used variants of or the same Apple 344S0061 swim chip?

Ah got it. Based on the name I thought you meant scaling it to fill. Cool!

Plenty of 15” 1024x768 panels. But at that resolution, do you really need a scaler? Why not 1:1 with cropping?

Not sure how you have been searching for a replacement SWIM chip, but if looking specifically for a donor from an SE/30, that could get pricey or be hard to find. It was my impression that a compatible SWIM chip can be obtained from a IIci or IIcx motherboard, and those logic boards are much...

Bare panels. They are a little small though, 10”. https://www.ebay.com/itm/186309451332 https://www.ebay.com/itm/388527102866 These seem to be native vertical but not 100% sure. This next one seems to support built in rotation. https://www.ebay.com/itm/255765656616...

I might have searched for the wrong thing, there are some panels that are native portrait mode, for example saw one at 800x1280.

I was thinking 1024x768 which would fit the 640x870 resolution well at 1:1 when rotated, with crop bars (77 pixels on each side and 64 pixels top and bottom) without scaling and cover up the crop bars with a bezel. 1280x1024 would need scaling or have huge crop bars. I had looked for panels...

Interested in what you figure out. I have been unable to find a reasonable portrait display and card for my stock SE, whether due to brokenness or asking price. I was hoping to hack my own solution using a rotated LCD and a RGBtoHDMI, using black crop bars and a custom 3d printed bezel, but...

Looks like the GLUE chip is going to be dead at minimum. +1 to what the others said. There are still salvageable chips on that board so there is still some value. You can make it a fun project if you want to learn and have patience or sell it for parts. Exactly what the others said. Clean it...

+1, I love the kit. Really well done.

Basically yes, but hoping someone responds here that has done it and been successful or failed, and might have additional tips. I remember seeing this a few years back but decided to keep mine stock so never tried. http://www.applefool.com/clockchipping/iifx.html

Depends on whether you are attempting to reuse the logic board and just replacing the CRT or whether you are just using the case and replacing all the guts. But look up @zigzagjoe’s LCD panel upgrade for SE/30s and that might give you some ideas on the mount. He has a 3D printable mount that...

I remember seeing notes of varying degrees of success online, some folks having replaced the cpu and fpu with higher rated versions to achieve it. As usual with over clocking, depends on the components on your particular logic board (not just cpu) and whether they will be stable at higher clock...

That looks to be damage caused by a blown C1 capacitor which is common. The stock board had a 16V/47uf tantalum there and it should have been a 25v/47uf tantalum. The L3 component you lost is an inductor. Not sure what else is damaged but check the schematics which are online and then check all...

I got time to swap SCSI chips with one from a IIci (same part number) and determined that the SCSI chip is faulty as the issue followed the chip and now my IIci has the issue instead of my SE/30. The resistor is acting as a pull up to help the chip but the fault lies inside the chip somewhere...
