I'm sorry to resurrect such a long dead thread. I'm thinking of performing this upgrade. However, I'm concerned about the stress on the 25MHz CPU (mine is not a down-clocked LC III+ motherboard but the original with the 25MHz CPU). Would it be too much for the 25MHz CPU in the long run? Thanks!

I guess I need to improve my reading skills... You were asking about the serial numbers... I'm afraid that case and motherboard numbers don't match. Box and case do match, as olePigeon already said.

This is what you're looking for? If so, I can send you better quality pictures...

I've an Irish IIc with a 220V PSU. I will try to get a couple of good pictures tonight. 

I see. Sounds reasonable. Will get tantalum caps then. Thanks again.

Thanks AwkwardPotato! Will do some research on ABS plumbing cement. As for the caps, can you elaborate a little more about the differences between ceramics and tatalums? So far, the only thing I've heard is that ceramic caps are non-polarized... Thanks again.

Hi there! Got a "new" Portable last Wednesday but just had time for it today. It is in really great shape but, as assumed, there are a couple of quirks to it. When I bought it, I assumed it was in non working condition due to a dead battery and leaked caps. So, I got a new 6V 4.5Ah SLA battery...

So, how are things going on with this project? I'd love to try it in my LC III...

Actually, this adapter is far better: http://www.ebay.com/itm/APPLE-IIe-IIgs-II-DRIVE-ADAPTER-IDE-20-FEMALE-DISK-to-DB-19-FEMALE-13-/222380003620?hash=item33c6e19124:g:XZsAAOSw-0xYfQzX

Hi smalltownguy2, I think your best chance would be to get a second floppy drive controller to which you can connect your FloppyEmu: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Apple-II-Disk-II-drive-controller-card-/322421670093?hash=item4b11d440cd:g:se8AAOSwB-1YogHg You can use that card to replace your current...

Check the settings of the card (Ctrl+Opt+Esc). You can enable/disable the screen splash as well as the sound. FWIW, I won't sell my Rom 3 + CFFA3000 + 3MB GS RAM Plus + 12MHz Transwarp GS for $1,000. For me, it's worth much more than that.

I'd run my favourite B&W mac game... Risk!

Maybe this is no news for you guys, but for me it was. Today I connected my Floppy Emu to the internal floppy port in my LC III and it worked perfectly. It mounted 400Kb, 800Kb and 1440Kb images without problems. However, it didn't recognized the HD20 emulation... but I guess it is because...

It boots System 6.0.1. I even tried a fresh install of the OS, but no difference. I'm starting to think that maybe my IIgs has some hardware issue... Any of you with a similar setup can mount more than 2 images?

Hi guys, this one is for the people that has a CFFA3000 running in a IIgs ROM 01. I just can't mount more than 2 32MB images at once. I recall mounting more than 4 images at once but I think that it was with a ROM 03 motherboard that died and replaced by a ROM 01. Any ideas to what might be...
