    Apple iie, with memory expansion, 80 column card, floppy controllers, another card and applecolor monitor plus 4 floppy drives. Maybe karma after someone ripped me off $100 last week on a local buy sell page.

    7100 questions

    Well, found a proper floppy and she boots from that. Wont find scsi. So either scsi chip is dead if it has a dedicated one, or something else. Too bad, works normal off floppy

    IIGS high speed scsi

    Ok, card game today. I did order a full set of floppies but now i am impatient lol.. so, I have an external scsi drive or two laying around. Can i format it on say a se/30, color classic to the correct partition for iigs? I found some bootable images online. Just curious...

    3400c issues

    Nice:) i would suggest recapping at some point with organic polymer caps. The pram battery has to go asap.

    Mystery IIsi that chimes, but has no video, and won't boot!

    All these traces good?? Some look nasty.. i have had iisi boards with all sorts of issues. Usually a trace somewhere, or something not making contact. The rom simm looks like it has reAlly dirty feetz close to the leaky caps and power connector

    Apple high res 13”

    All good, checked caps, all looked good. For some reason lc ii isn’t displaying video. Hooked it up to iisi and worked beautifully.

    Apple high res 13”

    Ok, will have to pull apart again. Wait for it to discharge. There is a couple of bipolar caps. Mouser only had the one type in stock. Other one is a non stocked item. So left it.

    Apple high res 13”

    Decided to recap the board. Worked fine, smelt fishy lately. Recapped it. Powers on, crt makes the usual noise, screen stays black. Any ideas? I know the psu is fine as I tested that first after recapping it and was fine. Just did other boards todays

    Macintosh Classic won't start

    I recapped my bondi rev a imac psu. Didn’t realize i had a big cap in backwards, actually it was the wrong size. Turn on and bang!! Smoke everywhere lol.. thought I killed it. Someone was kind enough to let me know the correct value

    Macintosh Classic won't start

    Sounds like a cap was in backwards. They can make a loud bang if installed wrong
