I finally recapped entire iigs system. Looks great i dont have proper floppies and i want to see it boot from something. I need more memory as well. It is rom 0 or rom 1. What will this boot from?
Oh sweet. Does it have to be a certain file system? And what version? 5? Thanks!If you have a BMOW FloppyEmu it can boot from that. Otherwise you can write an 800K floppy with most 68K/PPC Macs.
ok. Yeah, need more memory. Will have to check what rom I have for sure. Do the floppy drives need recapping? not sure if they even work as I have never booted thisDepends how much memory it has. ROM 0/1 are 256K base which will only boot the 1.x system disks, but if there's a memory expansion card that obviously goes up.
ok, thanks. I will see about the Macintosh garden for floppy images. I would imagine I need more ram for sure, Just interested to see this one come to life and play something on it.I’ve never heard of recapping the floppy drives. They’re the same Sony drives as a Mac Plus or SE.

Did you recap the monitor as well? If so do you have a cap list? I have been meaning to do mine forever but haven’t gotten around to it. It would be nice to confirm I have the caps on hand first though.I finally recapped entire iigs system. Looks great i dont have proper floppies and i want to see it boot from something.

console5 sells a kit and also has capacitor lists:Did you recap the monitor as well? If so do you have a cap list? I have been meaning to do mine forever but haven’t gotten around to it. It would be nice to confirm I have the caps on hand first though.
Hmmm, i never saw that. Do you have to buy that separately?? I bought my kit from console 5console5 sells a kit and also has capacitor lists:
AppleColor RGB Monitor A2M6014, A2M6014X 2GS Cap Kit
<p>This kit contains all parts necessary to replace the capacitors in the AppleColor RGB <strong>A2M6014 </strong>Monitor.

They also sell an upgraded resistor for R513:

When I recapped mine, R513 was a little toasty looking...
I did recap monitor. I bought cap kit from console 5. I should have wrote down the caps, but i didn’t sadly!Did you recap the monitor as well? If so do you have a cap list?
