Glitchy graphics edition:



I'm getting the logic board recapped, which should resolve the issue.

[bizzle]

I have two working logic boards, one with a bunch of RAM, at least 8 MB. All the slots are full. I can't boot it because I don't have a floppy or 50 pin SCSI drive that works reliably. How much are you paying for the recap?

[edit: correction]

$20 labor plus $10 parts plus shipping. It's an SE/30, though... which if you're into compact Macs, you know is a much more desirable and expandable system than any of the others. I wouldn't want to replace the logic board with anything other than an SE/30 logic board.

If you are looking to sell one or both, and they are SE/30 boards, how much would you want for them? (Also: does the sound still work? That's usually the first thing to go on these old Macs when the caps leak)

[bizzle]

They are both SE/30 boards. They both chimed last time I checked them which was about a month ago. They've been in the closet since then. I have an ethernet card too, somewhere. Make an offer.

An ethernet card? As in, a PDS ethernet card compatible with the SE/30s? I'll take the whole lot, if you can offer a fair price; sticking in a new board sounds a lot cheaper and easier than having to get the existing board recapped. Do you have any other old Mac stuff that might be useful in getting my SE/30s outfitted?

[bizzle]

Yes, PDS ethernet card that works in an SE/30, it came with one of the machines I acquired. It's an Asante MacCon II. I'll have to look for it but I am sure I can find it. Make me an offer for all of it. I'd just find yourself a big hard drive or an external CD-ROM because it'll make it easier to move over software and drivers.

I also have a Daystar Turbo 68040 33mhz accelerator in box, never used but not sealed but no adapter to make it work in an SE/30. You'll never find an adapter but if you do someone will want $300 for it so it's not worth buying.

[DaMadFiddler]

A bigger hard drive and a SCSI CD-ROM are both things I'd be interested in. Not sure about the accelerator board... what model was it made for and kind of adapter does it need? I don't suppose you happen to have an XCeed graphics card in your magical closet of parts as well, do you?

[bizzle]

The Daystar adapter works in a bunch of classic Macs, but most need some form of adapter. The SE/30 adapter is very rare. I do not have an XCeed card. I do not have a lot of classic parts. I have tons of G4 stuff though!

PM sent. Sorry for hijacking the thread, everyone!

My new toy, Powerbook G3 Pismo. Still setting it up so there isn't much to see.

Being that Angel Beats! is over now, I figured I should change up the background...

Now xylene uses a Mac and I use Windows 7. That's weird. Anyway, I like the Minnesota Twins.
