This whole project started about a year ago.
I bought this Plus on ebay. Realized it was an upgraded original 128k.
So my quest has been to down grade it.
I needed an original Macintosh Main-board,
I needed a Original MACINTOSH boot(rear).
I needed a 400k floppy drive
The Main board:
Last year Mcdermd told me that he had a original 128k board laying around. But he cautioned me, it had been upgraded to a 512k, and the rom's were missing.
So he installed the original amount of ram, and flashed me up some Rom's,
Also he found me a boot, but its missing the rear decals, that is ok ill take it.
Anyways he sent those to me.
So I have this thing all together.
let me say, I thought the 800k floppy drive was going to work. Nope. It doesn't.
Good news is though, I was lucky enough to win a 400k external a few months back.
So booting from the external 400k, it came right to the desktop.
Finally!
I still need to acquire a 400k drive.
I still need to acquire a proper 512k/128k tin for the mainboard
I still need to acquire a Macintosh badge with Info sticker as well.
Other then that this thing is rockin!
Solid A/B
Clean CRT, NIce and bright.
It's taken a few bucks and alot of watin.
Here are some other pics.
