I think I got the driver I used for this from Sears. A mac 128 is
small enough you could carry it with you and make sure the driver in
question is long enough. Mind the board on the back of the video tube.
If you bump it even a little you'll break the seal off the video tube
- you'll know if this happens if you get a depressing hiss whilst
rummaging in the innards of the beast. I did this to my se30, although
it proved to be a blessing in disguise. In scrounging up a mac shop
that could fix it, I found my local mac dealer (ie not CompUSA) and
have done a lot of business with them. Although they still give me
grief when I bring the se30 in for its occasional upgrade (new disk,
max out the ram, now idly seeking an FPU for it. :)

I do not normally fix old micros, but I thought I

It is an original 128K Mac, with lots of extra goodies. On power-up, I
get a sick beep, a dead Mac icon, various pixels on the screen flicker
after the screen test, and the code "048298". Not quite dead, but
pretty
close.
What does this code mean?
Also, can someone repost that trick for making a tool to get the case
open?
Thanks!
