OK, well, I pulled the analogue board out and checked it as you described. The socket on the board looks clean, no browning or scorch marks. The solder joints on the back look perfectly fine, no cracks and no corrosion. The socket feels firmly in place and attempts to wiggle it produced no...

Searched around and I see a lot of posts about this issue so it seems fairly common but the cause can sometimes be difficult to track down as there are a number of reasons it could happen. I'm hoping to get some insight before I start digging in to help minimize the amount of guesswork I have to...

Mystery solved. After doing some more digging, I stumbled on to a Reddit thread of someone who was having a similar issue. The key I noticed was that their "Happy mac" looked the same as mine and, apparently, it's not a real happy mac. It's a Happy mac with a sad mac background. The thread...

Unfortunately I do not. The floppy emu is the only media I have at the moment. I’m trying to find a way to source some OS disks without paying the EBay markup. If you know anyone able to produce them I’d love to get in touch!

I know it's been about a year so, sorry for resurrecting this old thread but I've been recently hunting down this very thing and found the answer. According to Wikipedia So, the three batteries you were thinking of were the LR50 which you can still get on Amazon for about $4 $1 each...

So, I received the floppy emu package from BMOW the other day. I've gone through all the steps for getting the firmware updated for Macintosh and read through the docs on the various different combinations of system utils images and OS images and I've tried both in hard disk mode as well as...

Thank you for confirming my suspicion. It's probably obvious from the post but I have yet to boot this system I just acquired (still missing a mouse). But I ordered a BMOW floppy emu to work on getting it to boot and when I saw that the IIc needed that switcher it made me wonder if the Mac was...

Still trying to learn my way around this old Macintosh hardware but, as far as I understand, you still have to use the internal floppy drive to boot and the external expander is for a second drive only. Assuming that's correct, I'd like to use something like the BMOW switcher which is advertised...
