Re: .047 Thick Copper Clad Board for PCBs
On the topic of PCB making, if one starts with copper clad stock, how does one put a photosensitive surface on it, so that one can do photolithographic circuit board masking for etching? Is there some kind of stick-on material? The only clue I came up with seemed to indicate that one needed an expensive laminating machine. Jeff Walther Google homemade circuit boards.

Re: Soft rom question
Big snip. Okay, I just checked Gamba's page http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/os8_se30.html#SIMM to refresh my memory.Apparently there are three versions of the SE/30 ROM. One uses the PLCC44 chips, one uses the SOP32 chips and Gamba lists one with PLCC32 chips as well. If anyone, has one of this latter type of ROM SIMM, conversion would be relatively simple. I have never seen one of the PLCC32 type. (John Snook, if you've got a PLCC32 SE/30 module handy, I can supply the needed chips after all.) More snip Jeff Walther - I think I do have a PLCC23 rom module. Please contact me off list. Also I found a bunch of obsolete 72 pin simm adaptors that we could use. These boards are .040 thick with the 72 pin simm fingers to plug into a ram slot. it also has a staggered set of holes that are connected one to each finger of the edge connector. I modified one to fit in the SE/30 ROM slot. I think it is possible to make a board to connect to this and hold the chips and circuitry. I'll see if I can get a photo. Or I can send you one. Also, do you have a copy of the schematics Gamba used? I'm interested I'm making some boards. johnsn -- Compact Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/.

Re: Soft rom question
My comments at the bottom. Date: Sun, 1 Aug 2004 17:46:45 -0700 (PDT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have had diffiuclty finding a IIsi or IIfx rom sim to place in my SE/30. I have a IIsi, but the rom bank is blank, so it must be soldered on the motherboard somewhere. (Why is there is an empty rom slot?) In the past, I have used a program to copy the rom of a Macplus to use in a game simulator on a PowerMac (i.e., Macmame). Would it be possible to use this program to copy the rom from a IIsi and use it in an SE/30? Could that soft rom be copied onto a blank rom? Gamba (who seems to have vanished, though his website is still up, thank goodness) and I did in fact build a ROM SIMM, copying the contents of the IICI ROM to blank chips and installing them on a ROM module circuit board. This successfully worked in an SE/30. The same could be done with a IISI or IIFX It was a fun experiment, however, we ran into one significant (for us) obstacle. The ROM SIMM circuit board is ~.050 thick. The standard thickness on today's circuit boards is .063. So it's almost impossible to find .050 circuit board. In our case, Gamba filed the board down to the proper thickness by hand, which was difficult, time consuming and not anything that he wants to repeat (nor that I would like to attempt). Significant obstacles for other folks would be extracting the ROM code and getting it programmed into chips properly. In our case, I desoldered the ROM chips from a IICI board, read their contents on a chip programmer (a specialized piece of hardware) and then programmed blank flash memory chips with the contents. I also determined which data pins on the chips would connect to which pins of a ROM module. Then I sent the chips to Gamba, and he designed, etched and fabricated the ROM module board (printed circuit board), soldered down the chips and tested the assembly in a IICI (using the ROM slot) and in an SE/30. We also used a program to copy the ROM code directly to floppy (as the poster suggests above), which I then compared to what we extracted directly from the ROM chips. At first, it appeared that there were differences, putting us in doubt of the usability of the ROM extracting program. However, a later check seemed to indicate that the two methods yielded the same code, so perhaps I made a mistake on the first comparison.I'm still a little dubious about the ROM extraction program, though, in theory, it should work fine. Finally, the ROM code is interleaved across four ROM chips. So the first byte of the ROM code is stored on the first chip, the second byte on the second byte, etc. then the fifth byte is stored on the first chip, the sixth on the second chip, etc. If you extract the ROM contents using software, then you need some way to spread every fourth byte across chips. Many of the chip programmers have this ability included in their software, but it could be an issue. The primary thing, though, is that you need access to a chip programmer, to get the code onto blank chips, and you need the ability to build a circuit board that will plug into the ROM SIMM socket, hold the programmed memory chips, and connect everything up properly. Jeff Walther - Jeff, I was wondering if I could modify a SE/30 ROM to put the chips you programmed on them? What do you think? johnsn -- Compact Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/.

Re: any fan ?
Hi there, I have just noticed that the case fan in my SE is not spinning, I have a few spare 'pc' fans that I could probably use, are there any guidelines here? If a fan will spin does that mean it is ok to use, am I worrying about power draw unnecessarily?

Re: Classic II-no boot-vertical bars
le 3/06/04 19:54, Greg Koelpien à [EMAIL PROTECTED] a écrit : I have what I assume is a hardware problem, but am not sure of the cause and the viability of repair. The problem is a Classic II that won't boot. When the machine is powered on, all that shows up on the screen are alternating vertical bars, about 1 in width, so there are 4 1-inch-wide white stripes interspaced equally with black bars of the same width. There is also a noise, a variable high-pitched whine, that can best be described as the sound old-time radios would make as you tune the dial. The internal fan is on, and I can hear the HD spinning, and the keyboard lights flash on when the power switch is turned on, but otherwise appears dead. There is no startup chime, happy mac, sad mac, or other image. Anybody recognize the symptoms? Greg Koelpien Hello. My Classic2 made the same thing nearly. The 'dong' of starting arrives after six or eight minutes, sometimes further. Two large dark vertical bars show off to the screen during the time of expectation. The solution is already written here on the group. It is necessary to wash with a brush to tooth and of the hot water and with of detergent the Mother Card. I made it, after have been afraid. Now my classic II functions. It is necessary to dry the mothercard after the washing.

Re: CD Player program
ubject: CD Player program Okay, since the kids like to play audio CD's so much, I wanted to attempt to make the CDROM drive work for audio CD's with System 7.1 installed. Well, it didn't look like it was going to happen. So after some detective work online, I found the solution. Well, part of it anyway. An audio CD program comes standard with System 7.5, so I downloaded the upgrade files, then upgraded my CC to System 7.5. Overall, 7.5 looks very similar to 7.1. There are a few more goodies, but nothing major that I can see. There IS however the CD player program, which works in conjunction with the external CDROM drive. Now for the problem. When I put an audio CD into the CDROM drive, it doesn't spit it back at me like it did before with 7.1 running, in fact, it plays the CD and shows the track information in the CD player program! I am not, however able to hear the CD playing. I checked the volume control, and it is working. I can still hear all of my system alerts, and such. I can't hear the audio cd playing, though. Any ideas? Also, does anyone here know of any differences between system 7.1 and 7.5 that I should take advantage of, or be aware of??

PDS accelerator adapter update
Hi all. Concerning IIsi Daystar adapters. You must remove the math coprocessor or it won't work in a SE/30. I think this is because the IIsi has no math coprocessor so the adaptor is no designed to look for one. So when you put it in a SE/30 the math coprocessors conflict. You can put an accelerator card with a math coprocessors in the adaptor and it will work. This is because the accelerator card is designed to disable a slower math coprocessors. I have had problems running accelerator with 040s at 33mhz and the cash cards on them. One reason is the power supply in the SE/30 is wimping out. I modified an ATX power supply to fit an SE/30 and a 040 at 33mhz and the cash cards on it worked! Also there could be a difference in the logic boards. Last night I was this setup: SE/30 logic board, 140W power supply, Daystar IIsi adapter, and a Daystar turbo 601 accelerator. The turbo 601 accelerator did nothing with this setup. :-( So I put a IIsi rom simm in the SE/30, and I got the 601 startup sound. :-) But that's it. It didn't continue to boot. Tonight I will disconnect the HDD and see what it does. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you. johnsn -- Compact Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/.

Re: DiiMOCache Adapter Pictures
are posted at http://homepage.mac.com/jackgallemore/PhotoAlbum7.html. Thanks for all the help! It appears that the individual (who modified the SE/30 in my previous post) notched the ROM card rather than modifying the adapterwhich seems backwards, but it works for that person. No contact info for the individual who modified the SE/30, so I'm kinda out of luck with that venue. I thought it might be better to take off the FPU socket since it isn't being used and they are all open circuits (san FPU) anyway Jack I think you're right. Take off the FPU socket. Unsolder it if you can. If not carefully brake up the FPU socket with a pare of cutters then unsolder the individual contacts.

SE/30 logic board repair
I got this board from a guy who said it didn't work right and he was going to through it out. I got him to send it to me. He messed up and put it in a tyvac envelope, and when I got it the ROM SIMM socket was broken. Six of the eight RAM SIMM sockets where broken too. I thought oh boy, what a mess! And I set it aside. I got replacement SIMM sockets off dead LC boards, and a ROM socket off a dead cx. I removed and replaced the bad sockets, and replaced all 11 caps. The board would not boot properly. After mucking around with it I figured out that if I lifted the corner of the board near the printer port the board would boot. Then I knew I had a cracked solder joint or broken run somewhere on the board. If that's not bad enough the board would not see a internal or external SCSI drive. But it would boot from a floppy. Also it has fine vertical lines, Like the jail pattern only narrower. I reflowed most of the SM (surface mount) parts on the top of the board. No luck. So I turned the board over and reflowed all the SM parts and all the TH (through hole) parts. The board was pretty sticky from the flux I was using, so I washed the backside. And dried it with compressed air. That solved the cracked solder joint problem. And the fine vertical lines sort of flickered out. It would still not boot from a internal or external SCSI drive, but it would see the drives and access them. So I washed the topside and dried it with compressed air. I let it dry overnight. This afternoon I turned it on and it booted from the internal SCSI drive, but the fine vertical lines where back. Rats! As the board warmed up they went away :oD and as the board warmed up more they came back :o(. My question is what would make those lines? johnsn -- Compact Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/.

I think it would be incredibly cool to have a tiny SCSI enclosure that connects to the 25-pin SCSI port, has a pass-through for other devices, and holds a Compact Flash card. I don't think it would even need power, although I could be wrong. For simplicity, give it only 2 or 4 possible SCSI IDs. Maybe also a version for the 50-pin internal SCSI connector so it could be used in an SE or Classic. For a real challenge -- the oddball SCSI setup in the monstrous Mac Portable Maybe a three part project: 1. Compact Flash to 50-pin SCSI 2. External enclosure for #1 with 25-pin pass-through SCSI 3. Compact Flash to Mac Portable or 50-pin to Mac Portable The CF card wouldn't have to eject -- power down, disconnect the drive, remove the card if you need to change it. Lower capacity CF cards (32 MB and less) are cheap, and unlike hard drives, CF is silent (which is why I think the Mac Plus is the perfect candidate). It should also boot pretty quickly, since there's now pause while the drive spins up. Anyone know if such a device is or has been made? Or if it might be feasible for someone to undertake such a project if we could get 50 or 100 buyers? I think such a project could keep a lot of vintage Macs out of landfills.

If you don't like eBay, offer it in the small ads at www.Macgadget.de or www.macup.de. If it needs repairs, contact me offline.
