oh nice. do you know any working images of disks? We found two sites with images and we have a problem with making working disksIt certainly works on the USB floppy drive I have here.

thaks, for now we want to only check that mac try to boot cause we still have a problem with monitor connection. should mac try boot automaticaly after floppy disk will be insterted to drive?
I don't know if this is a question of adjusting or of monitor features. Sometimes certain older monitors work better with older computers than newer ones. I have an old Panasonic LCD monitor for such cases.So I need to be a little lucky to adjust the monitor? Currently, Mac is with a friend. I hope he will be with me soon. I have a few monitors, including the old LG 17 "LCD, maybe it can handle it
thanks. if macs boot that is a chance that it works properly. otherway i am still looking for adapter (db15 to vga) in europe to receive it fast or good pinout for diy. unforunately i cant find scheme with switches, there is only simple pinouts.Yup, put the disc in and it should chug away and boot from it. You should be able to hear it reading. It spitting the disc back out sounds like it's trying to boot from it and failing, which means that large chunks of it are working at least.
we tried on several monitors with different effects. maybe it's a matter of matching the frequency, after all, modern monitors and macintosh differ three decades...I don't know if this is a question of adjusting or of monitor features.

Both the IIsi and the LC475 output at 66.7 Hz; and here that particular monitor works with the LC475 at 640x480 (and a PM8100 and a PM4400) but not with the IIsi. My guess is a different sync type.maybe it's a matter of matching the frequency, after all, modern monitors and macintosh differ three decades...
We will try to get Multisync or Multiscan monitor. it should be a solution. My friend tried to connect sometime ago LC to Multisync monitor and it worked... Unfortunately we havent any multisync monitorBoth the IIsi and the LC475 output at 66.7 Hz; and here that particular monitor works with the LC475 at 640x480 (and a PM8100 and a PM4400) but not with the IIsi.

Not in Poland. I jave checked CRT monitor prizes. We easily can find monitors for 10-15 euro but many prizes are between 1000-1300 PLN that is 250-350 EUR. Polish traders tries to earn as much money as they can...I bought an old NEC EA190M a couple of weeks ago that also plays nicely with the IIsi. Those monitors probably cost close to nothing everywhere; I paid 15 € for mine.
I will try to find It in Poland. Do You have original or diy adapter (db15 to Vga)?The NEC I mentioned is a TFT, though.

Sure, that's twice as much as I paid for mine. Still not too bad.
