    Great tip, Plus gets to Happy Mac in les then 1 second using this :) Even with a PRAM battery (verified working as date/time is being saved now) system still takes ~30 seconds to get to Happy Mac

    Mac Plus not booting from Blue SCSI

    @TobbasMcJobbas, I had some time today so I did the diode mod and tested with an internal BlueSCSI v1.1 using a IDC 50 to DB25 adapter. I used the same SD card from my previous post and didn't have any issues. Picture attached Boot up video here: Macintosh Plus Booting BlueSCSI @Phipli, video...

    Mac Plus not booting from Blue SCSI

    Macintosh Classic II with no sound. Analog board issue?

    Possibly Can you bypass the switch in the headphone jack with a jumper wire? Maybe the port is just shot or corroded inside. I think you would need a scope to properly diagnose the sound chip. Above my level of knowledge.

    Macintosh Classic II with no sound. Analog board issue?

    The ohms you are seeing on the meter make be believe the speaker is good too. Mine was open circuit so defiantly bad. Test continuity from the speaker back to the board on both wires to rule out a broken wire to the speaker.

    Macintosh Classic II with no sound. Analog board issue?

    My classic II speaker was dead too. I replaced mine with one from a Macintosh SE. The ohm ratings printed on the back of both speakers were the same so I drilled out the rivets on the classic II speaker and replaced with the SE speaker

    Macintosh Plus - Sad Mac - 01FA00

    I don't know the history of this machine but it's really clean inside and out. At boot the machine chimes but displays a Sad Mac error 01FA00. Searching around and it seems like a Mac Plus should not throw an 01xxxx error. I've tried swapping the ram chips around but got the same result. When...

    Macintosh Classic II - Dim screen after logic and analog board recap

    Interesting..... mine unfortunately isn't getting any brighter. I had to recap the logic and analog boards as mine was dead when I got it. But both boards did clean up nice.
