Maybe noob questions, but can you explain why you want it at an angle "to face you"? Is this like for easier loading or does it help in the capture or something?

Good news! @0dan0 @Mac84 I have dumped the variant D firmware. My S/N is H2825148BK02147. One important question: I dumped everything twice and got different md5 hashes for the DUMPCODE.BIN, but not for UITRON.BIN. Is that to be expected? They're in the a and b folders, respectively. I trust...

Thanks to the advice here. I got my replacement unit and have no skipping issues anymore. It is also a D variant. I took a stab a disassembling the unit tonight. I’ll do the soldering and dumping later this week. I followed Mac84’s stream to see what the process entails. I found it quicker to...

Thanks, as per 0dan0's advice I returned my unit, so I'm currently without. I'll try this if the next one has this too.

Maybe it is more of a support question rather than a hack, but how can I improve my capture? I am trying to digitize old Super8 reels and the capture is jumping around like crazy. The footage to me is useless this way. The result: What is happening during capture: Is my machine faulty? Or...

Thanks! However, I already recapped and cleaned the logic boards. The issues described were cross verified on different analog boards. Still, I’ll take your suggestions for creating a rock solid base. I’m really hoping to receive specific pointers to investigate issues 1 & 2. Maybe these...

Log entry #3: After watching just about every YouTube classic mac repair video, I finally felt confident to repair my three SEs. I also ended up getting additional tooling. While I have a tendency to linger in the prepare phase a bit too long, I am very happy for the virtual experience and...

Good to know, came here to ask about this. My strong preference is for injection molding too, even if it means waiting longer than 90 days. I did put my order in, even though I share your considerations living outside the UK. Hopefully the speaker module will be below customs threshold and not...

Thanks for the clarification and the correct spelling of bodge :) (I must have only heard it till now). If the sockets and bodge wire are factory and a different revision, there are three unique revisions here. Two have a socketed CPU, the other one is soldered in. The later board also has a...

Log entry #2 Each of the macs has been cracked and inspected; three initial findings below. With the help of some instructions here and elsewhere on the internet, the opening the macs was really simple and really effortless. Even for a novice and with two machines that I suspect were never...

Incredible how tiny it is, very cool. Also very nice website! Haha amazing, it can even battery bomb <3. (likely a joke though, the picture of the mac looks identical to the other rearview picture).

Today I finally picked up not one, not two, but three Macintosh SE/30 machines. My goal is to restore these to working condition. I’m planning to keep at least one SE/30 (if any make it at all) to upgrade and tinker around. I want to use this thread as a log and document my progress. and also...

Very inspiring build! I really like seeing all the complete builds. I'm used to small mechanical keyboards (leaves more room for the mouse), and I like the idea of building a smaller keyboard for my SE/30. I'm considering to handwire the switches to the original ADK, but still use the Tester68...

I am really impressed with the amount and quality of the response . I am learning a lot and am glad to have joined the forum. Thanks!

Thanks JDW, and of course for the excellent content! I’ll be sure to share updates.
