Good to know--you just saved me a bunch of money :D So if I want to do a fresh install of 7.5.5 with the drive that's already in there, it's as easy as burning an ISO of this and popping it in the CD-ROM?

So I need to use an older IDE drive rather than buy a new one? I was hoping to get better performance by buying a newer IDE drive. Is that not a good idea?

Thank you! 1. Is there any reason I shouldn't choose this fan? https://www.amazon.com/quiet-Case-Fan-Cooling-BL044/dp/B00IOIJ4AC/ 2. Is there a reason to choose 7.5.5 over 7.6? 3-4. That sounds like a winning idea. Do you have any recommendations for a modern IDE spinning drive? I need to...

Success! Thank you @jeremywork. I used the rear power button and it fired right up. I wondered why the keyboard power on wasn't working and it turned out I had it plugged into the wrong port. So yeah, time to go with this thing! A few more questions: 1. Should I be able to replace the fan with...

Ok, that makes sense, but I don’t have any more 34 pin cables on the wiring harness to connect the video out board.

Yes, it was just horrendous sounding due to the fan being clogged with gunk.

Hi everyone, I got an absolutely filthy 6220CD. I stripped it down, cleaned it up, and am in reassembly mode. I plugged everything back in to what I thought was the correct slots, but I couldn't get the machine to spin up. Then I tried taking the 34 pin monitor cable and plugging it in a 34 pin...

Are there any other hard disk image files available online that are compatible with the Foppy Emu? I bought the card the author preloaded with some titles, but I'd love to have a file that contains more games. I've tried using HFV Explorer to alter the contents of the existing image, but I was...

Cool! Can you check to see if you have a model 2702? 

Does anyone have any experience with this? Or even a picture of it? http://www.jagshouse.com/powerrconverter.html

It seems that the Power R Model 2702 is exactly what I need. Check this out: http://web.archive.org/web/19990819155946/www.powerr.com/prices.html How do you think this was accomplished? How did it even connect to a Mac?

Great work! Keep us updated on your plans for them. 

I was hoping it would be as easy as modding a Spectrum or VCS, just solder another wire to the video lead off the board :)   That Scuzzygraph is awesome! I was also reading about a thing called a Power R Converter here: http://www.jagshouse.com/powerrconverter.html

I actually bought this machine almost 20 years ago, but the disk drive died in it and it's been on a shelf since then. I have a few questions in my quest to get up and running again. 1. If I get a floppy disk emu, will I need anything else? Can it totally replace the internal drive (which I...
