Fixing this vintage Mac was easy...until it wasn't
Added 2025-03-31 22:00:06 +0000 UTCIt's a good thing I like the SE/30 as much as I do, considering what this one put me through.

I actually had a similar video problem on an SE/30. Was the UE8 chip. I found the use of a very cheap logic probe was a big help identifying the pin that was bad. I am a real novice but it sure taught me a lot. Great stuff, Colin. I love your work.
