After one year of being dead due to a bad analog board and putting a good working replacement analog board and a good PSU my 800k Macintosh SE is alive once again

Hi Tinkerers, I'm new here and I like messing with old macs. Some of the machines I have are, 2004 G4 Powerbook, 2005 G4 Mac Mini, 2 of 2012 Macbook Pros, 2019 Macbook Pro, 2007 iMac Core Duo, 2013 8 core Mac Pro, 2 of 30 inch Apple Cinema Displays, 23 inch ACD, 20 inch ACD. Plus also 2 modern displays and a powerful Hackintosh. Also a brand new in the box 2006 1,1 Intel Mac Mini, which may I add that I paid to much for.

Sorry for the long rant.
Gave my Mac SE SuperDrive a nice BlueSCSI upgrade and so far it's fantastic and I'm loving it so far

The original 40mb Quantum ProDrive still works and thankfully I have backed it up alongside with that 160mb Conner drive that stopped working sadly

It's curious the level of vitriol and hate directed towards TD sometimes - with no clear reason as to why.

We seem to live rent free in some people's heads...
Hi Fred

I am trying to run a MacintoshPi on a 9.7" 1024x768 Display and configure the correct overscan to reduce the used screen canvas size but do not succeed.

While googling, I found your article here:

As I understand it, you somehow managed it to configure the overscan correctly? I am trying for hours now and can't figure out how to do it. While running CMD or PIOS, the overscan is applied correctly, but when running MacOS 7/8/9, it just ignores the settings and uses the full size of the screen.

Do you think you can help me here? What configuration files did you edit and with which settings?

Thanks for any help and best regards

Hello everyone,

I am using a Macintosh SE with a BlueSCSI internal board. I have put a ready-made MacOS on its SD card, and the SE boots from it. My problem now: even if I use the Toolbox BlueSCSI provides, I cannot unstuff software into this OS image, even if I have Stuffit Expander there. It might be the wrong version of Stuffit Expander. But how can I find out which one is the correct one? Or should I unstuff the software on a Mac (because of resource forks) and put it in the Toolbox's 'shared' folder and try to copy it onto my image?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. It seems that I am missing something here...

Might be better to make an actual forum post for this rather than a profile update.

Also I went to check if my 800k Mac SE still had the battery on it's logic board and thankfully the old owner did remove it

I will have to get the Mac fixed since it no longer turns on (only makes weird unhappy noises no chime at all)
I'm suspecting the analog board is faulty since smoke came out of it when it was still running back in mid- September of 2023

Finally debombed my Mac SE SuperDrive

Thankfully the battery which is a Maxwell didn't leak or explode inside of the computer
I installed the MacBatt CR2032 adapter with a brand new CR2032 battery

Hi, Here's the gDrive link to the hda image that is causing the crash.

If it helps, here are the specs of my laptop:
MacBook Pro
14-inch, 2021
Chip Apple M1 Pro
Memory
16 GB
Startup disk
1TB Internal
Serial number
Y4G22FQ79K
macOS Sonoma 14.4
Just seeing this, I would be interested in a clear SE/30 case and a clear mouse case too if he has those.
