The RTC was successfully reverse-engineered not so long ago, so you may be able to get one afterall if you can't find a donor.

Hi @Elemenoh, just got myself a MacCrate as well. The power supply of mine came dead, with a blown resistor at R4 and a dead fuse. I'm going to try and fix it, hopefully it was just those two elements. Hopefully I can find a photo of a functional PSU to read the resistor value... PS. Mine came...

Are you trying to fix/replace the internal display, or just looking to add an external monitor to your SE/30?

Adrian's Digital Basement did a video recently on a similar device, which he got working with a modern monitor by using an RGB2HDMI: It ended up being a Radius Full Page Display Card from c. 1986.

System Enablers can be copied from another drive, it does not need to be placed by the installer. However, a normal error for a wrong or missing enabler is simply being told that the System is incompatible with your machine, not the Sad Mac screen. :(

Regarding formatting the Tash20, it is a little inconvenient, as you have to script it and do things in the terminal? I'm still a bit unclear in how it's supposed to work. If you do have a Mac OS 8/9/X machine that you can connect a USB sd card reader to though, you can at least format it as HFS...

As long as we're making a wishlist, it would also be interesting to get a more robust floppy controller emulator that could be used to work with a larger variety of floppy disk images, as well as HD20 images, like those used in tashtari's tash20 (or, indeed, real HD20s). Currently anything above...

After fiddling with it, it appears that the "blank" spot (which was present at launch) is MacDock itself. Clicking on it from another program switches to make MacDock active in the Application Menu.

Lookit that!

Hooray! Glad it wasn't too complicated. I take it then that there is a 68000-equivalent you can use in-lieu of GetMainDevice?

Here is a link to InfiniteMac running System 7.0 on a Mac Plus (there's a startup error about QuickTime, which is not compatible with the 68000, you can ignore that). https://infinitemac.org/1991/System%207.0?machine=Mac+Plus

Well the SE/30 has a 68030 processor, while the SE and the Plus sport the older 68000, so that could be the issue. You might also try 7.1/7.1.1/7.1.2 to further narrow it down with regards to system compatibility, but if you were able to run it in 7.0 using InfiniteMac, it appears to be...

You might also try running it in Mini vMac, which emulates a Plus by default.

No problem at all, I was just excited to try it out! As for the ROM versions, there were a few different versions for the Plus that addressed issues with SCSI. I've attached the Macintosh Tech Notes about it for you. Presumably the SE has its own ROM that is newer than even the Plus ROM v3.

Whelp, unfortunately, even with the new SIT file and all extensions disabled, I still get the unimplemented trap error. I suppose I could install MacsBug and see what it's getting hung up on. Do you think it's possible that my Plus not having the v3 ROM might affect things? I wouldn't see how...

Resource forks are perfectly safe in macOS last I checked, unless something changed in Ventura. I can also try to transfer the SIT file directly, but I had trouble unstuffing it using StuffIt 4.0.1.

I don't think so, but I can send a list of extensions if you like. It's also possible the file is getting corrupted somehow in transferring to the Plus. I encoded the application using the binhex command in macOS Terminal so that I could transfer it to Mini vMac, which I then use to transfer...

I just tried launching v1.3.2 on my Mac Plus running System 7.0.1, however I get an "unimplemented trap error". :(

If you were able to find an angled SimmSaver/32, it might just work, but I can't make any guarantees!

Btw, if you look for SimmSavers specifically, the nomenclature is a little confusing: SimmSaver/30 - 4x30-to-30 SimmSaver/8 - 4x30-to-72 SimmSaver/8² - 8x30-to-72 SimmSaver/32 - 2x72-to-72
