I gathered that it would work with 512k, plus and SE.  The grey ribbon cable that connects to the new scsi port at the battery compartment has marker written on it that states "Ultra Only", so i would assume that it is much faster.  That SCSI2SD device looks pretty cool! Would it work with the...

The db25 in the battery port is a faster scsi bus, and the second db9 above the serial port is what is connected to the graphics card for outputting video.

Well, it’s been a couple years and I recently moved and rediscovered this special Mac Plus. Upon opening it, I discovered it not only had the Total Systems Gemini 68030 board laden with 4 additional ram modules, but also some sort of graphics card that connects the DB9 connector on the back of...

Thanks for the info guys! At this point, I am considering selling the unit, because I think some of you would really appreciate it for what it is, and would have the use or need for it.  This plus definitely represents the pinnacle of performance at the time from what I have read.  What I find...

Picked this guy today, and was wondering if the hard core enthusiasts here may have any insight as to what the additional ports on the back might be for.  The Machine starts, but at this point I don't have a plus mouse and keyboard anymore to navigate with! Based on my research, the machine...

Thanks technight, ill have a look

i had a mint lime 366 that i really regret selling :(

Update: I found some rubber bushings from an iBook g4 hd mounting bracket that fit nicely between the main board and daughter board, screwed them in snugly but not fully, and now it boots consistently. If I attempt to pick up and move the 170, it will lockup if there is enough flex between the...

The 7600 is pretty cool because it has audio in and out on rca's and s-video and composite video in! This will be a perfect mate for my fisher price pxl-2000 video camera!

I have 2 classic iis now. I think they might be my favorite macs. They look like appliances and perform much better than the favorite classics, although i do have a place for a 512k, should that moment ever arrive. microphone input is fun to play around with. As far as the monitor goes, a...

Beachycove has first dibs as he replied first and most likely lives in the Toronto area, but Macdrone you are more than welcome to it if beachy doesn't take it.

Macintosh Classic II with 10 Mb and 40mb hd Power Macintosh 7600/132 with 64mb and 1.1 hd Apple LaserWriter NTR Apple 14" rgb monitor All work! The only thing left to confirm is actual printing with the NTR Going to junk the monitor though. I happened to find an apple to VGA adapter, so...

Turns out it is a problem with the way the daughterboard is mating with the main board. When fully screwed down, it won't boot. When i released the screws a bit and played around, sure enough it booted! I shimmied a guitar pick under one of the daughterboard screw posts and it gives pretty...

I'm going to put a 60 or bigger 5400 rpm drive in it and max the ram when I have time. The ease of access to everything is impressive as well, reminds me of the unibody designs in terms of accesibility.
