Thank you

Thank you both. This II remains on my project list. Hopefully next month I can get back to it.

Hi, I have an IIfx that has fresh batteries in it and weird behavior. Pressing power at the back or on the keyboard generates a split second of power. Pressing the power button on the keyboard AND keeping it pressed boots the machine perfectly. Take your finger off the power button and lose all...

Time for an update. Thanks again to RedruM69 who tackled a new M5126 MB and got it recapped. Slipped it into my existing case last night and it worked right out of the gate. It did take some doing, but I now have a working M5126. I also have the parts of an "almost" working spare, including a...

Thanks for the note. I've tried to wait and drag to see if it works, but no success. I've not been able to solve this issue, but I also haven't really had time to work on it lately. Hopefully one day soon. Thanks

Hi Everyone, I just want to thank everyone for their help on this project. I am slowly trying to bring to life all the old Macs/Newtons/Apple II computers (and a few NeXTs) that I ever owned. This was one of the first projects. I've been lurking on the site for some time just reading and re...
