Testing an FPU/Nubus adapter in a IIsi

[NoTrueSpaceman]

In my on-going quest to refurb my IIsi, I'm looking to install a FPU/Nubus riser as well as a Macon network card.

Trying to do things incrementally, I'd like to install the FPU/Nubus adapter first and ensure it's working correctly.

I couldn't find any discussion of how to do this on the web (or the forum). Any ideas?

TIA! :grin:

Get Norton Utilities 2.0. Run System Info. Hit test.

Any ideas on how to get NU2.0 on a machine that doesn't have internet access yet? Also no floppy. Also only a ZIP drive that I can only burn images to from Linux.

You seem to lack the tools to complete the task at hand.

yeah I think so. I guess I'll just wing it and see how it goes. Unfortunately I trashed my classic Mac collection decades ago so this is all "from scratch". It would have been easy then but its Hard Mode now.

Does your Zip drive work on your IIsi at all?  If so, for not much you could source a USB Zip drive and use a newer Mac to copy files over. That’s how I got restarted back in January. If not you will need some sort of transition machine to get files over.
