Re: Color Classic died! Yikes!
Here is the update on the situation: I got an off-list email of the keystrokes to boot from the zip disk so I proceded to download OS 7.0.1 from Apple. After decoding and unstuffing, it brought up the disk image. When I open it with Stuffit Expander, version 7.0.1, it comes up with the following error: Andrew aka. The Mac Freak 1..Say again, what version of Stuffit Expander? 2..The System 7.0.1 download from Apple is a self mounting image which requires no other software but does require 7.0.1 or higher to mount. 3..Color Classic won't run 7.0.1, it requires 7.1 or higher, and, with 7.1, it requires a System Enabler.

Re: Color Classic screen capacitors - Where can I get one?
I wrote: Here in Silicon Valley there are a couple of retail parts stores that I might have it. I'll try to take a look tomorrow. Here's what I found, (they are all radial lead disk ceramic caps): 1500 pF @ 2000 volts, 6 cents each. These are small at 0.45 inch diameter, so would be easy to parallel. 1800 pF @ 2000 volts, 25 cents each. These are even smaller at 0.35 inch diameter, so would be easy to parallel. 4700 pF @ 3000 volts, 25 cents each. These are 0.7 inch diameter. If anybody wants these then email me offline.

Re: How to install Micron Xceed 30HR cables?
Hi, I was lucky to obtain a brand-new Micron Xceed 30HR with internal grayscale adapter. But I've got no manual.

Re: SE/30 fanless?
I'm trying to silence my SE/30. I've moved the hard drive to an external case that lives under the desk, and would now like to shut up that infernally loud fan. Hal I have seen wide variations in the noise level of SE/30 fans. Some are a lot quieter than others. I seem to recollect that 2 or more fan manufactures were used, so maybe the differences in noise level are associated with that. Given the checkered history of the Plus, I wouldn't think it a good idea to run the SE/30 fanless. Gamba http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2 -- Compact Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/.

Re: SE/30 questions (monitor and screws)
B) The monitor has a tendency to wiggle some every once in a while not a huge amount, but enough that I notice it on such a small screen. This is usually a cold solder joint on connector P5 on the analog card. As it gets worse it overheats more and more, and eventually the heat can cause corrosion on the mating pin in the harness, and that's a lot more trouble to fix. C) Anyone have a Micron XCeed 30 or other Grayscale card that they want to let go cheap? Steve Fuller You will have better luck and spend a lot less money by settling for grayscale/color on an external monitor. Those PDS video cards cost a lot less and are (slightly) more common than is the Micron XCeed card that is internal grayscale compatible.

My wife is currently enamored with her Color Classic, running 7.5, [snip] In any case, I need to install some .img files on her CC. What version of DiskCopy should I use? I already tried it with 6.3.3 (in the iBook) but it didn't mount and with another version in my Mystic Color Classic running 8.1 and it also didn't mount. Robert If 6.3.3 won't do it then no other version will either. They might be ShrinkWrap 3 images but I *think* 6.3.3 will mount those. Try running the .img files thru Stuffit Expander 5.5, just to make sure that they aren't still compressed or encoded despite what the file suffix says. I have seen .img files that wouldn't mount with 6.3.3 unless I tried it a certain way. The method that seems to be best is to drag the .img file icon into the 6.3.3 window. I have seen that work when using the mount command in the pulldown menu didn't work. Gamba -- Compact Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/.

Re: Classic I Plus Appletalk a problem
the problem is this :I go to the tool sharing setup and I start file sharing and then as result I see this message **file sharing could not be enabled** ,while if I start program linking I go to on some ideas ?

Re: Classic I Plus Appletalk a problem
The Chooser is active in the two Macs after the boot. The Chooser itself is always active. What needs to be Active in the Chooser is AppleTalk. I have tried to delete also Appleshare PDS file and the file Users Groups Data File in ClassicI You say here that your tried to delete those 2 files. Were you successful? with the Plus if I try to format floppies DD I have freeze of the OS 7.0 Did you update 7.0 with System 7 tuneup 1.1.1? With all these various problems that you are having I think some basic maintenance is needed. 1..ZAP the PRAM, by holding down COMMAND OPTION p r (4 keys) during boot and keep them held down until the startup chime sounds 2 more times. 2..Rebuild the desktop, by holding down COMMAND and OPTION keys during boot and keep them down until desktop rebuild message appears. 3..Run Disk First application on the hard drive.

Re: Arrrgh !
However, I then decided to upgrade from 7.0.1 to 7.1 using shrinkwrapped (mounted) images on the desktop, install seemed to be going fine, then after a series of beeps the SE rebooted itself, and now all I get is a floppy disk icon with a question mark ! Does anyone have any ideas on how to get a system back ? It sounds like the installer crashed before completing the installation. Therefore installed system is corrupted. If you don't have a boot floppy then I don't know what to tell you. If you do, then boot from it and trash the HD system folder and copy the floppy system folder over to the hard drive. Disk First Aid on that boot floppy would be a good idea, to run it on the HD before trying next system installer. Gamba -- Compact Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/.

Re: Arrrgh !
Thanks for the replies. I did not have Mode32 installed (does that run on an SE anyway ?). No it doesn't Gamba, are you saying that maybe my Harddisk is damaged in some way ? Bad sectors perhaps, maybe that would explain the crash on installation. Probably not bad sectors if it was working OK before. But it's worthwhile checking that out too, with Apple HD SC Setup, which has a test mode. HD SC Setup would be on the same Disk Tools floppy that has Disk First Aid. Disk First Aid checks for file directory errors. HD SC Setup checks for hardware integrity. It's always a good idea to run both of them before installing new system software.

Re: SE/30 Expansions
Another upgrade to consider is the installation of the IIsi ROM SIMM (fairly rare, I'm afraid) that eliminates the need for Mode32. Note that you need to perform a fresh system installation for any Macintosh after installing the SIMM. That's necessary for 7.0 thru 7.1. For 7.5.3 and higher an Easy install works, but Resedit hacks are required. I looked for info on Gamba's pages but couldn't find any.

Re: PDS stands for?
Does anyone know how to disable the onboard FPU? johnsn I have never tried it, but, looking at the SE/30 schematic, I see that pin 29 of the FPU is labeled CS and the signal line going to it is labeled FPU*. CS would be Chip Select, and the asterick after the signal name means it's low asserted. So, lifting that chip pin and tying it high thru a resitor would deselect the FPU, thus disable it. But it would be better to do that on the IIsi Nubus adapter's FPU, instead of the mobo. And IIsi Nubus adapter's FPU would have to be verified as being same package as mobo FPU, otherwise CS pin number might be different. Gamba -- Compact Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/.

Re: To wipe a hard disk
Be advised though that if someone really wants to recover the data it will always be possible. Multiple secure erasures have been overcome by the FBI.

And when I do that, I'm forced to shut it down unnecessarily because I feel that it might just get tired of waiting for me and just conk out.

Re: CC and the external HD is up
However, whenever I try to install it, the installer looks for Disk 1 when it's already there in the HD. All of the 7.5 installer files should be disk image files, which can be mounted on the desktop using Disk Copy 6 or ShrinkWrap 2.1, if you have booted from System 7.x. That way the Installer will find the disks that it's looking for. Also: how do I make an emergency diskette, with finder and disk first aid in it? I guess all I want to do is to make sure that my internal HD's volume and integrity and all is AOK. One of the disk files that came with 7.5 should be a Disk Tools disk, which has what you're looking for, which is Disk First Aid. The disk imag file may not be titled Disk Tools until you mount it on the desktop or make a floppy.

Robert See if Apple HD SC Setup 7.3.5 patched sees it, and if it does then update the driver. If that doesn't help then try the Mt Everthing 1.1.1 control panel and it that doesn't see it then try using the control panel's facility for using it's built in driver to mount the HD. The SCSI Probe control panel will usually tell if there is a termination problem. The acid test would be to see if that HD works any better as the internal hard drive.

Re: Very curious!
Indeed. But where did the multi-pin PCB connector (on the right) go? Stuart Yea, the Plus logic card does not have a matching connector.

Re: Q: Discharge the CRT on SE/30
I'm reading the Take Apart section of the SE/30 repair manual and it says I need to discharge the CRT even before I put on a grounding strap. Can anyone tell me what the exact procedure is for doing this? Jeff I think most of us don't bother with the discharge. Apple has to CYA for fear of legal system. There's no need to go anywhere near the HV when installing RAM. And besides, although the voltage is very high there isn't enough current available from that source to hurt you. It's curent that kills, not voltage. And, the location where you would go to discharge it is already very well insulated.

Re: Mac Classic II on the internet

Re: 7.1 0n 800k disks ?
OK when I try to write a disk image back to a floppy I get this error:- Your Macintosh is too OLDS to perform this function. The floppy driver will not support the necessary calls. Error #-18 Any ideas ? BTW I am using ShrinkWrap 2.1 Thanks Mike The problem is you are trying to write a 1.4MB image to a floppy drive that is 800KB only. Instead you should use ShrinWrap's Mount Image command. That will mount it on the desktop, and save you hassle of using floppy disks. Mount all of the 7.1 image files that way. Then create a new ~4MB disk image with ShrinkWrap and title it New 7.1. Launch the 7.1 Installer and select the New 7.1 disk as the destination for the install.

Re: Electrical Schematic Program Wanted
For schematic drawing I use ClarisDraw 1.0v3. It has parts libraries for a lot of logic symbols and also parts libraries for transistors, resistors, and other such analog discretes. But I'm seldom satisfied with the look of those ClarisDraw parts so I usually modify them or build my own. A sample of what can be done is here: http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/images/macIIfxsch.GIF The gif is created by first saving the ClarisDraw as a PICT file, then converting PICT to gif using GraphicConverter 68k 3.9.1.

Re: Electrical Schematic Program Wanted
There was/is a version of PSPICE for the Macintosh. I don't know if it is still available. As I recall there was a version available for mostly free at some point--perhaps a student version. Jeff Walther I haven't seen the original posting of this thread, where is it? I am *very* familiar with PSpice 6.0 for Mac. The latest and last version is 6.0. I have seen only the freeware Demo version of it, which is available on the web. It does not have schematic capture. It does perform circuit analysis and generates graphs of networks that are built by hand in a text document. The Demo version has limitations on how large the circuit is. I have used it only for analog circuit simulation. AFAIK no versions of PSpice for Mac can do schematic capture. There are versions for windoze that do schematic capture and automatic network builds but they are very expensive. Being strictly 68K code, PSPice for Mac runs faster on a IIci with Turbo 040 than it does on my (many 100MHz) PPC, even with speed emulation. I am lucky to also have the manual for PSpice 6.0, I wouldn't have been able to do anything without the manual. Some of the earlier versions of PSpice for Mac may have more included documentation than does version 6.0. ftp://ftp.ee.ualberta.ca/pub/electrical/mac/microsim/ Gamba http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2 -- Compact Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/.

Re: SE/30 RAM
I bought 2 sets of four 16 MB 30 pin SIMMS for use in an SE/30. I cannot get one set to work at all. The other set will only work if I install the four 16 MB SIMMS in bank A and then fill bank B with 1 MB SIMMS. If I install just the four 16 MB SIMMS in either bank A or bank B the machine will not even start up- all I get is a lighted screen with vertical lines spaced about 1/2 inch apart, no sad mac, no start up tones, just the lighted screen. Here's another oddity, when I boot the computer with the 16 MB and 1 MB SIMMS it takes about a minute to go from the happy mac screen to the welcome to macintosh screen. With any other combination of 1 MB and 4 MB SIMMS the time between these screens is about 2 -3 seconds. chemtechman The need to fill Bank B when 16MB simms are in Bank A has been reported by other listers, including me. I used 0.25MB simms in Bank B. The longer startup time is due to longer memory test. Are the 2 sets of 16MB simms identical? And be sure that you have version 7.5 of Mode 32.

Re: ethernet card for IISI or SE/30
At least some of these cards have jumpers for three different addresses and not all seem to work so try each address. The addresses are usually denoted as C, D E, IIRC. Note that the address selection shouldn't prevent booting however. Clark Martin Clark, I beg to differ. Address $0E, as shown by SlotInfo app, is assigned to SE/30 logic board. Using that address for Asante card guarantees grief. Here is jumper info etched on Asante card: JP2...JP1...SLOT ONONF9 ONOFF...FE OFF...ONFA OFF...OFF...FB So therefore FE is the one to avoid.

Re: Diimo upgrade
Been a lot discussion about using the Daystar IIsi adapter to install the Diimo accelerator in a SE/30. I have a Sonnet Presto Plus adapter for the IIsi. It has a pass through PDS slot for the accelerator and an extra slot for another PDS card such as an Ethernet card. Can the Sonnet card be used with other accelerators or just the Presto Plus card? I have a turbo 040 card I would like to use in my SE/30. I have one of those Sonnet adapters for the IIsi and its circuit is completely different than the DayStar adapter, I concluded that plugging a DayStar accelerator into the Sonnet adapter would probably pass a smoke test.

Re: Diimo upgrade
Are the Presto accelerators compatible with the SE/30, off the top of your head (and my being really lazy at the moment). I take back my previous answer. A Presto accelerator along with its IIsi adapter might very well work in the SE/30 because of the similarity of the PDS slots. It wouldn't fry. The worst thing that should happen is it's buggy. Also. the SE/30 chassis would have to be modified so that the Presto IIsi adapter would fit thru the chassis hole into the PDS connector.

Re: 500 MEG HARDDRIVE
Thanks, now that this works, I have to make the 19 disk set for OS 7.5.3 and copy it all to the drive, and then install it. I have no cd rom drive to use... :( Thanks, -Mike- It's not a disk set, if you mean as in floppy disks. It's 19 parts of a single self mounting image. If you want to get to 7.5.3 with floppies then you can install 7.5 and then update with 7.5.3 Update 2.0, all of which are available as floppy disk images.

Re: HD shrunk by half after reformatting
So I ran the HDSC utility (which came with my previous Classic) to reformat the 80 mB HD, but to my utter amazement this operation made the HD shrink to 40 mB. I don't know why that happened, but try HDSC version 7.3.5 instead of the version that came with the Classic. ftp://grijan.cjb.net:21000/macintosh/Software/Utilities/hd_scsetup_735(patched) .sea.bin And as a subsidiary question: I tried to install 6.0.7 on the Classic II, but that did not work. Nobody has mentioned 6.0.8L. That works on a Classic II doesn't it? Gamba http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2 -- Compact Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/.

Re: Rich people wanting to put a DayStar in their SE/30s?
Regarding the recent thread on this topic, I thought people might be interested in the following auction. I have no knowledge of the seller, blah, blah, blah. Stuart I wonder if the buyers of those cards really believe it's 4 times faster as advertised. 4 times 16 MHz is 64 MHz, but accel runs at 50 MHz. Worse yet, the bus speed stays at 16 MHz, so, as anybody knows who has used one of them, it's no where near 4 times faster.

Re: fiel serveing?
There are at least 8 ways to file serve on system 6. 5 of them are buggy and unstable. That leaves: 1..Public Folder is a good one because it's stable. I don't understand why you don't want to put it on all your Macs, after all, it does what you want to do. 2..Another alternative is to use AppleShare File Server 2.0.1, but then the system 6 Mac that has it can't be used to do anything else. 3..Another alternative is to change the privileges on the client Macs to allow users to Make Changes, then you can send files to those Macs from the system 6 Mac. Gamba http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2 Hi all, I might have asked this question before and gotten it answered, and I Think someone told me to install NSI 1.4.5, and I did, but htat won't let me sys 6.0.8 macs BE a file server using appleshare, what do I need? I think open transport, but someone said that was big and slow, so is there something else? It would be most helpful if you could tell me what version I needed as well, I tried public folder, but then I'd have to instal that on ALL my macs, including the power PC ones. Also when I have my sys 6 macs connect to my 8500 running OS 9.0 they crash and wied things happen, they are connecting to a 20 GB drive over the network is that why they are crashing? how can I fix that? Right now I am using my 8500 to connect to my sys 6 macs (all compacts) and them pulling the files rom the sys 6 mac onto my 8500 for backup or vice versa, I use a printer cable to do all this, but will have ethernet soon... -Joe -- Compact Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/.

Re: Rich people wanting to put a DayStar in their SE/30s?
It looks to me like it's an Apple SE/30 motherboard with the DayStar SE/30 PowerCache daughterboard plugged into the 68030 socket. Gamba On 2nd viewing of it, it ain't like any Apple motherboard that I've ever seen. That the buyer now has. 1..That motherboard 2..Xceed Color 30 PDS card 3..Xceed GrayScale adapter clone all bought recently on eBay, quick mental calculation yields about $600 he has in that SE/30!

Re: Opening compacts' cases (was Re: SE vs SE/30)
Good advice. I try to avoid the damage by making sure the screw is just loose in the threads, enough to start the case apart. That way, most of the threads carry the force. Ken That's the way I did it. :-( I now use a steel rod that is just small enough to reach past threads, but that's a bad idea too because thickness at bottom of thread hole is thin, so I risk punching thru front of case. So far so good, but I would never try that on somebody else's compact. Gamba http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2 -- Compact Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/.

Re: Color Classic VRAM
This message written: Saturday, 21 June 2003 17:29:15 PDT Attempting to boost the video performance of my recently acquired Color Classic, I stole the VRAM chip from and LC and installed into the CC. Got a hatching on the lower part of the CC screen. Pulled the VRAM and all is good. I thought the VRAM for the CC was the same as that for the LC. Apparantly not so. Which models are good donors? Ken The LC can take a 256KB or 512KB VRAM SIMM but the Color Classic can take only a 256KB, so your SIMM is surely 512KB. Armed with the above info and a copy of GURU 2.7.1 you can identify donors.
