[QUOTE="Papalapa, post: 1806530, member: 400766"] Before to buy the SIMMs I checked the Macintosh SE repair's manual and it says that the only thing to do is to correctly set the memory jumper, nothing else. After some tests this morning I found that the purchased SIMMs must be defective because even with only these two SIMMs installed I get an error. I re-installed the original four SIMMs and now I have only 2,5MB but al least it works. On the other hand it seems incredible but I found at eBay a 500MB 50-pin SCSI Apple working drive for only 45€ (around $51.00). It is considerably smaller size than the Miniscribe and very similar that the one that I have into the Macintosh LCII and most probably the energy compsumation will be also lower so, good news from this side and we will see what can I do to set the 4MB... You said only $25.00 for a Mac SE plus carrying case?? This is not a sale, is a gift :o If somebody wants to see my opened 30 years old defective hard disk triying to start up, watch this video: [MEDIA=youtube]sIhvqLrDa9I[/MEDIA] . [/QUOTE]
