I think I heard that PowerBooks require a good main battery to charge before charging PRAM batteries. :(

I would guess that 5.62 volts will fall to 0 with even a tiny load...

I'm sorry, but I wouldn't get near cheap PC PSUs like that with a long stick.  Super generic, and not UL listed.  So if it burns your house down that might be a problem.  I would recommend getting a FLEXATX PSU from a reputable brand.  I would get an SE/30 PSU from eBay.  You can get a sony one...

I think I would be up for one!  I just did a project that required soldering an ATMEGA640 in the TQFP 100 package, so if I can do that (which I did), I can do this!

Option I think

I would figure that if your board is browning out you might need to recap the power supply, which if you are leaving it on to run as a server is probably a good idea to do anyway.  Just killing the sweep voltage seems like the safest thing to do in this case.

Mine looks like @Compgeke's. If you could dump it when you get the chance that would be great! Thanks!

Thanks for the advice but that machine is long gone at this point, as it was a totally rusty mess :(

Does anyone have one with a more recent ROM or know where I can find one?  I have a card, but it has the original 1.0 rev ROM, and that really limits it's compatibility. Thanks!

That keyboard has the Hiragana symbols on it.  The other system is Katakana, which is the keyboard I have on my 145B.

No, that adapter should work. Check that the adapter is working with a multimeter?

Also, is it possible something is pulling down the bus?  Maybe scope the address and data lines?

Make sure the rom is seated properly.  That looks like the screen you get with no rom.  Maybe corrosion on the slot contacts?

I seem to remember that he left after he had a bad experience with getting his Lisa stolen, no?

Also OP hasn't been online in at least a year as well, I don't think you will get a reply.

There's a utility that goes with Lido called PMount, which allows you to select a partition to boot.  Give that a shot if you haven't figured this out!

@Bolle Do you have schematics for the Maccon?  I have one that doesn't work, and doesn't show up in TattleTech.  I was wondering if you had the schematics so I could trace out the board.  Also, is there a DeclROM on the card?

Yea I was kinda figuring that, that's why I'm wondering what that chip is.  That board has a TON of SRAM on it

What do the big PLCC chips in sockets say on them?

Just so you know, this kind of post isn't allowed.  Yea it is a bit nuts though
