I measured about 2ohm across RP2, so it's for sure toast. I'll see if I can test the MOSFET. Yes, there was a lot of capacitor vomit. That's actually after spending time with a toothbrush and 99% rubbing alcohol (hence the removal of a lot of the green coating). I've replaced all of them as...

I'm trying to revive a dead Mac Classic - the analog board was in pretty sad shape with the existing capacitors having leaked all over. I scrubbed it clean and recapped it - put it back in, turned it on and nothing happened. I noticed the fuse was blown, so I put in another 3A 250v fuse, flipped...

So, it turns out I didn't realize there was an interlock on the battery cover. That was the root cause of not booting: not being consistent with replacing the battery cover (duhhhhh). Alas, when I did finally get that sorted, it started throwing errors on boot (shame, it was booting fine before...

Entirely possible - or it could have just been wiggling the connectors. It still has the original caps, so I'm sure it's not long for this world without being stripped and prepped anyway.

For the battery, I Dremeled (badly) the original battery box open and replaced the 3 cells with one of the recommended Panasonic lead-acid cells (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005FNTY7C/). It worked fine until it sat for a couple of weeks (unplugged) while I waited for the SCSI2SD stuff...

Actually, I mis-spoke: The SCSI2SD board does have a notch, but the 50 pin plug on the 34<->50 adapter board does not have any tab on it, so I was not sure which way to orient it. The cable is the 34pin cable that goes between the motherboard and the adapter board and that connection is...

Sorry for resurrecting the old thread, but I'm in the same boat of trying to install a SCSI2SD adapter in my old Macintosh Portable and had some Q's maybe you guys could help out with. I got the SCSI2SD version 5.1 board and Alaska360's adapter board. Managed to get access to plug things in...
