I used to service these back in the early 90's. One other thing you want to look at on these old macs is the analog board. Specifically, the solder connections under the flyback transformer.

I have proof the SCSI2SD card works in a Mac SE. I have done it. Mine didn't work either until changed the name of the drive to "seagate" and a few other options. Also I booted up the machine first with floppies then formatted the drive within System 6. You can't (at least with mine) simply drag and drop files to the sd card. The way I'm able to get files onto the Mac SE and upload to my pc is through ADTpro with use of my Apple IIGS and the 3.5 floppy drive. Also make sure the files are good for transfer relabeling them from ".disk" to ".po". I'm able to make floppy images for it using minimac emulator.

Even though the project didn't turn out as expected I loved the entire process.

This is long, but here goes: I've been working on an SE/30 restoration. My machine has a perfect motherboard with no leaking capacitors and a highly valued ethernet card. Your video has inspired me to go all the way on restoring the case, keyboard, and mouse with a peroxide solution. It's not surprising that you're having a nightmare putting software on that SD card. It's painful since HFS isn't supported by any machine after Jaguar. Don't ask how I know! I'm sure you know old software is available at a number of sites for free (my favorite price). Getting software installed was a painful step-by-step process. I had a modern Mac to download the basic drivers for upgrading the system-- but you have to write them to an IBM formatted floppy, which obliterates the file name. It's a roll the dice scenario whether the System 7 software can figure out what to do. Some files work, others, notsomuch. I tried networking a modern MacPro to the SE/30. It would log on fine, but again, HFS left the internal drive unreadable and unwritable. Darn it. But I did get the drivers to load a Zip drive-- which ups your content to 100MB and speeds things along. I dug out an old Yosemite G3 Mac, but it had no drive and the internal battery had exploded. A clean up and new battery got it working. I cannibalized an old external IDE drive and installed OS 9.2 from an old CD installer-- surprised I still had it. The G3 talks to the SE/30 with no problem over FTP, but it's not very fast at file transfers. That's where the Zip drive becomes invaluable. OS 9.2 is better at navigating the internet than OS 7, but many pages fail to load since Java is ancient on these machines. But an open source community retrofitted Mozilla for OS 9, called Classzilla. Viola! Downloads are pouring in-- over to zip-- over to the SE/30. Done. Because the G3 has USB native, I suspect loading up your flash drive should be done on an OS 9 machine. I'm not done yet. I have a flakey power cable to the hard drive. I need to locate a replacement with the proper pins. I'm interested in some of your friend's upgrades. They look like fun-- or a pain-- if you're into that kind of thing.

One trick to transfer files from a PC to a Mac is to use a Mac Emulator on the PC (Fusion PC or SoftMac from Emulators Inc, Executor from ARDI, or Sheepshaver and Basilisk II), use Stuffit to compress the files into an archive that preserves the Macintosh file attributes, and then you can use HFV Explorer to copy the archive from the hard disk image the Emulator uses onto a PC floppy and transfer that to your Mac.

HFS is completely irrelevant. The Mac is trying to format it from scratch and failing. Something more basic is wrong there. Either the adaptor board isn't lying about the drive type properly - and the Mac rejects it - or quite likely the SCSI controller chip is B0rked.

Sorta kinda. A CRT is an electron gun that's aimed across the screen very quickly by magnetic field coils. Vacuum tubes in the traditional sense do accelerate electrons that are boiled off the cathode, but they just use grids and screens and no complex aiming or phosphorescence is involved at all. The magic eye tubes would be the natural intermediate between say, a pentode and a CRT.

Does the SCSI to SD adapter have a terminator built in? Looking at 14:56 I don't see the normal row of resistor networks. Without termination the drive would work somewhat, but have lots of errors. If the SD adapter doesn't have built in termination you could get a SCSI cable with more ports and put a terminator on the end.

I used to work at a school system, keeping a bunch of old Macs (at that time new)late 80's early 90's Plus'es SE 30's Mac ll's etc going. There was always a concern about terminator strips. when using external SCSI devices, . Then one of the students (who later became a software writer at Apple) , said IT DOESN'T MATTER. He never used them. Since that time without terminators, I can't tell any difference. Sometimes theory and practice don't agree. I think the coupling to an external device acts as termination and doesn't matter much, unless there is a long cable run, in which case there is a small time delay in signals due to cable reactance, still not sure it makes a difference.

I love these videos, thank you for uploading, I watched every minute of it!

In the early 90's I gutted one of these, going to a glass shop, making a fish tank to fit inside it. It was a true centerpiece in my cubical with neons (fish), mini fluorescent light and air pump. People still remember it and I have the SE30 shell in my garage.

computers have always intrigued me, its why im learning to code! Love your videos, esp these old restoration episodes.

15:22 the large number of INITs (extensions) and CDEVs (control panels) might be contributing to the lock-up. If it's System 7, you should be able to skip them by holding down left shift. I don't think MacOS 6 had that feature, though. :/

Shorting the CRT directly to ground is very hard on the tube and can potentially damage it. If you need to discharge the tube, put a 1 megaohm resistor in series with the device you're using to ground the tube out.

@Geopholus

I used to use a a thirty watt 110 ohm resistor, to discharge filter caps, with 400 Vor more across them, and also CRTs, just because I was worried that the sudden discharge might be a problem,... but actually wondering what would get damaged by discharging a CRT? ,... isn't the charge held by the (metal oxide coatings?) on the inside /outside of the tube? I think the 1 meg resistor might take a little time,... what is the capacity in mfd of a typical CRT. Does anyone know.? 1 mfd, & 1 meg ohm takes 1 sec to remove 91% of the charge., (which would still be potentially over 2KV for color CRT).

From the video it looks like you use "Salon Care 40 Volume Creme" for the retro-brightening. Is that correct?

I quote that movie constantly. Especially back when I lived with a double music major. Anytime I recognized a piece of music that she didn't, I would have to break out the "you are aware that there was music made before 1989? You're a music major" line on her. And then or course there's: MEAT TOSSER! Hey Butlicks. Remember me? uhh, I didn't exhale. And the all time greatest line ever: "Could you blow me where the pampers is?" "She knows, she knows"
