    Macintosh IIsi PRAM problems ...

    The same behavior also occurs with the original 3.6V battery. If the computer is connected to the mains but is switched off, everything seems to be fine. However, as soon as I switch off the mains and the computer is left for a while, the PRAM is erased. The battery is not discharged. The...

    Macintosh IIsi PRAM problems ...

    I took a closer look and it turns out that the pram stays active for a while after it is switched off but is lost overnight. I'm now going back to the original 3.6V battery...

    IIsi fault ...

    The new electrolytic capacitors were in the mail today. I equipped the power supply with new electrolytic capacitors and now the IIsi reacts correctly to the power button and can also be switched off again, which was no longer possible before. The chime of death is coming straight away now...

    Monochrom Nubus Video Cards ...

    There are relatively many Nubus monochrome graphics cards with a DB9 video output. Are these always TTL outputs or are they mostly ECL outputs? TTL outputs can simply be passively connected to a VGA connection. Is there a pinout somewhere for the different DB9 video outputs?

    IIsi fault ...

    I soldered the one ram on the Powersuppy connector a little messily because you can't get to it without unsoldering the connector, it doesn't look that great but it's okay

    IIsi fault ...

    I think next is recapped the PowerSupply but my Voltagemeter say the +5Volt is fine ... But I do it. What surprises me is that the error sound takes a long time to appear. And when you plug in the power, the computer turns on immediately, which is strange ...

    I have a IIsi that works before fine and now it take some time until the sound of dead sounds up. The motherboard looks good except for a little oxidation on the four 74ALS245 chips. I desoldered these all and cleaned everything up and checked connections and soldered on four new chips but the...

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

    I also had the problem that the start sound was fine but the computer didn't bring up a picture onto the monitor and didn't boot. The reason was bad contacts (oxidized) on the video controller chip. New/re-soldered and now everything is good ... On other computer systems there are diagnostic...
