Blast it, something in the back of my head whispered to me that might be the case, but I didn't take the time to look it up. Apologies.

I'm not super familiar with the bluescsi log, but to me it looks like it's configured as a hard drive on scsi ID 0 (zero). That will conflict with the existing hard drive, which is usually set to ID0, and the conflict will prevent booting. I don't know how to configure bluescsi as a CDROM, so...

Some of the bridges were made to put non-network printers onto the network. Others translated between LocalTalk/PhoneNet and ethernet, speaking AppleTalk.

If it seems to be running ok, you're right that you'll need a video adapter at least, assuming you have a monitor with VGA inputs. The adapters are fairly plentiful and (usually) not terribly expensive. You could buy a vintage keyboard and mouse, look for ones that are designed as ADB (Apple...

I had been using my 2016 Pro as a Plex server until recently. Upgraded(?) to a M1 mini, which if it isn't much faster at least uses less electricity. Planning on trying the Pro as a dual-boot windows machine just for fun.

I'm not personally familiar with the EN/SC, but it looks like it should work just fine assuming proper scsi configuration and termination. It's not network booting though, it's just standard scsi as it was designed to be used.

It might work, but I kind of doubt it. Seems like it would also end up being really long and difficult to use. The real adapters seem to be fairly plentiful (at least around here; I couldn't speak to availability in Portugal) and even sometimes cheap; I think it would probably be worth finding...

I had always understood that the initialization stood for "Integrated Wozniak Machine"

You know you want it

Yeah, but it's got wood grain!

For quite a while, macintosh floppy drive sound effects were kind of the go-to for computer sounds. I couldn't name any names offhand, but it was always amusing to see a character working on a PC while it made sounds like a mac plus.

Have you checked the flat cable to the display? Hinge springs are known to sometimes punch a hole through the display cable

Given the state of the plastics on the 5200/5400 (and others) we're all going to need something like this eventually. Yours has a nice Fisher-Price/Play-Doh sort of color scheme going for it

I purchased this a little while ago and quite enjoyed it. Can recommend. Thanks David!

BTW, one of our members here is selling a few keyboards at a price you'll certainly not see on Ebay. If I thought I might need a keyboard in the near future, I'd jump all over it.
