Yup, they're wonderful machines for kids. I bought one a couple of years ago for my little guys. They love it. The loud fan is a bit annoying, but hasn't been annoying enough for me to take it apart and undervoltage it, or replace it. I upgraded the RAM to 1G and put in a larger HD. I also...

It's a good little machine. I'd replace the hard drive with one of the seagate hybrid SSD/RD 500G drives. Or an SSD, or both (you can get sleds on amazon.com for about $15-$20 that will let your replace the optical drive with an SSD.)

Nah, I'd have to cut holes in the PSU and move the drive cables out of the way to make it work - maybe. Problem is this, the PS is rectangular, so it has 6 sides. One side has the A/C input, another side has the fan, another side has the drive cables, another side has the motherboard...

840AV board is 29cm front (power switch)-to-back (ports), by 31cm left to right. Was going to say wide x deep, but it depends on how you hold it. :) Unfortunately the power supply is oddly shaped, and it doesn't quite fit in right inside the CD Jukebox case. Well it would, but then the fan...

Hi Byrd, do you remember which caps you replaced? Or at least in what areas?

Incase anyone else needs them, found pinouts for various Mac power supplies here: http://www.computercraft.com/docs/mchk.shtml

Sounds good, but where do I get the pinouts for the Mac IIsi power connector? Well, actually I'll probably want to replace all the caps in the PS to keep the original. BTW, is anyone else finding IIsi's rare? I've not seen any on epay in maybe 5 years where they used to be common.

Yeah, I saw the composite ones, they're the same connector as PC jumpers, or PC LED connectors, so those are easy. I found a service source PDF for this machine, but it's only how to take it apart and swap boards/drives, so it's kind of useless. I do notice a problem with this board, I can't...

So, as I posted in the Conquests forum, I was able to get an 840AV motherboard working recently, but I notice the specs say this machine has s-video ports. These sadly look identical to ADB ports to me. Can someone who owns this machine tell me which is s-vid in and which is s-vid out? Did...

For a long time, maybe since 1995 I had a Quadra 840AV motherboard and power supply in the closet. It came from a discarded, stripped machine at work that was being thrown out, and had it's CDROM and floppy drive stripped. Was just been sitting there all this time, and I had forgotten about...

I recently took my IIsi out of the closet and attempted to power it on. Pressing the power button in the back produces a faint buzzing sound, and the power supply shuts off after about 1 second. I do see the power LED light up though it's dim, and the fan does spin. So I take it the...

So, I didn't need to do this at all, the disks read just fine in my TAM's superdrive. I may revisit this idea later just to see if it would work, but for now I'm happy I got at the data.

Oh, I know. That would work in most cases (using the Superdrive to read 400k floppies) we tried that, but about half the disks wouldn't read, but with an 800k drive it did read some cleanly. Unfortunately the guy who was using his Mac II with an 800k drive had a hard drive crash, so he sent...

Is it possible to connect an external 400k floppy drive intended for use with an original Mac 128 to a IIsi? http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=5911 Says it wants at least an 800k floppy drive, but is this due to OS limitations wanting HFS, or is there some reason it wouldn't work...

I have these (CW) somewhere. Pls send me a PM and we'll arrange something.

Looks like my previous post was eaten by a grue... Thanks guys. I've gotten my hands on this already. This is in the hopes of resurrecting a set of bad UniPlus Unix disks for the Apple Lisa. Its owner is selling his Lisa on ebay, and wants to include these disks as a bonus, but since they're...

Thanks guys. I've gotten my hands on this already. This is in the hopes of resurrecting a set of bad UniPlus Unix disks for the Apple Lisa. Its owner is selling his Lisa on ebay, and wants to include these disks as a bonus, but since they're bad, I'm trying to get as much data off of them as...

Anyone know where I can find this? Also any ideas on whether it'll work on a Mac IIsi or is it just for classic Macs?

I'm missing the power supply to mine (as well as DOS disks) so I can't tell. I did have them at one point and it did work...

LisaEm 1.2.6 has been released. As usual, it can be downloaded from http://lisaem.sunder.net/downloads.html This version, like the last few is all bug fixes - this time to the video system. 2007.12.03 - fixed win32 rawbitmap issues, this should speed up the display quite a bit. Linux...
