Quite honestly, a Raspberry Pi is probably your best bridge machine. As others have mentioned, running a netatalk server via A2SERVER or a RaSCSI will let you share files easily between modern and vintage Macs. I even send files to my Apple IIgs with Uthernet II card that way! If you go with...

I'm using the GGLabs card too. The first SCSI read is the highest ID number, so make sure the drive you want to boot from has a higher number. Also, I'm not sure that booting from HFS works...

GSOS can boot from a SCSI HD - I've successfully booted from a MacSD, SCSI2SD, ZuluSCSI, RaSCSI, and even a real SCSI drive. I'm sure that you can boot from a BlueSCSI too with the SCSIHD driver installed.

Nice find! Do you still have a land line to try out the modem? And what card is that in slot 7?

Yes, it should chime and the HD and disk drive should spin up, unless you have a break in the 12V rail like I did. You might check out my recent IIsi restoration here: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/another-macintosh-iisi-restoration.42293/

I got a Quicksilver a few years back that had a couple of TAXI PCI cards in it and I could never find much info on them, other than that they were used to interface with early digital cameras. I had the cards up on eBay for quite a while and someone finally bought one of them. I asked him what...

The converter works fine with my LC III. I think it's more dependent on the monitor's ability to sync at 66 MHz.

My biggest holdup was not having a proper monitor to test with since VGA converters will not work with the IIsi.

Thanks for the nice deal!

That's one way to get some beta-testers! :) I'm still hoping for a demo release on the BBS some day... 🙏

Thanks for the link, but I don't wanna pay more for the keyboard cover than my keyboard! 🤑 The plastic cover sounds like a good project for the 3D printer...

The only downside to this is that the cats can now turn on my system by just walking across the keyboard... :confused:

Well, I vowed never to buy another IIsi after I paid big bucks for one back in college and my parents bought an LC III, which was 5 MHz faster than my IIsi, for $1000 cheaper less than a year later. But, a very-clean non-working IIsi came up on here for $50 and I was looking for a project. I...

Just to complicate things, on my recent IIsi restoration a leaking cap had eaten through the 12V rail so I had no power at the HD power jack either!

My internal ZuluSCSI requires power with the IIsi, whereas it doesn't with my LC III, so I think it's a function of the IIsi...

It's all good. I found the manual here: https://www.retrotechnology.com/z/techworks.pdf

Ok, got the HD to load up now - I ran a bodge wire from the 12V test edge lead to the HD power connector and am getting a solid 12V there now. Unfortunately I'm now running blind and deaf with no monitor to test it with and I think I may have fried the sound chip with some previous escapades...

Ok, the forum has been added! Users with just have to do an [A]rea Change while in the Forums to get to it the first time.

Hey guys, I'm still trying to get a dead IIsi I recently bought up and running. I've recapped the PS and logic board and now get a chime upon boot but the HD (known to work) won't spin up. Initially I thought it may be a PS issue as I was only getting 10V at the HD connector but I'm actually...

I could create a new forum on Captain's Quarters II BBS for this if there's interest.
