Question about the Macintosh Portable

Okay, Thanks!

I did the two diode mods. Here are some photos in case one of you wants to do it. I went to the resistor because there was a steady 5v there.

External SCSI Mod

Also, does anyone know if I can restore the original silicone rollers on the trackball? I don't like the 12 dollar price tag on the ones on ebay.

BlueSCSI on Macintosh Portable

I am using no special configuration (Mac Plus) and a self made adapter (some pics in the Resources section of the forum). Virtual drive formatted using HD Toolkit and with HDT driver installed. I just did a random test, waking it up 10 times in sequence after sleep. Not a single failure, even...

Do you remember or know what pin on the portable is 5v for the floppy drive? Can you label it? Thanks!

no.
just buy some silicone earring backs in an appropriate size.
