Add an FPU/NuBus adapter to your IIsi. Then you can also add a NuBus Ethernet card.

Definitely, good to see some oldies still around! Oh, and congrats on the A Cory5412! Your name looks familiar Temetka, but 2002/2003 was a long time ago so I could be making that up. I plan on be here a while, but life happens and as you said, "people come and go". I'm pre-crash too. :)

That's a good point. Is this the monitor that you have used with this computer and and video card in the past? If not you may want to make sure it is compatible with your video card.

The bottom one is questionable, but my II has a similar voltage and it boots just fine. Unfortunately, I would say that testing that video card in another machine (which I realize you don't have) or testing the computer with a known good card would be the next logical step.

Yup, should be able to connect to 802.11 b/g access points. Any available networks should appear in the Airport menu in the menu bar.

Are the batteries good? Try zapping the PRAM. Do you have another video card you can try?

Ok, I bit. I've never edited a wiki before, so this is a learning experience. I added some information about the IIsi having audio input. People have been encouraged to contribute, so I decided to add my 2-cents.

I found this place online that has LC power supplies for $14.95 http://www.nexcomp.com/power.html. I have not purchased anything from them, so I'm not sure if they are reputable vendor or not. I have an LC and a IIsi that both have dead power supplies. I need to use the power supply from my LC...

Not unless you want an LC III doorstop. :)

Nice little computer! I used them for 3 years in high school. If the date was set for 1956 you'll probably have to replace the PRAM battery on the motherboard.

Ah, but they do. I've been going through my collection and sadly 2 of my 4 PowerMac 6100's were destroyed. Motherboard, power supply, and case on both of them. I was able to salvage the floppy and hard drives. I'm pulling batteries from all of my computers in storage because of this. One of my...

Brings back some great late-night memories I have with my IIsi. :)

Got it! Thanks, CaryMG!

Exactly! This is ONE reason why Apple almost ran itself out of business in the 90's.

Apple crippled systems to sell them at a lower price without cannibalizing the sales of more expensive machines. I have an LC II, but I have not really used it much. We had a ton of LC III's in high school and those were pretty decent computers. A lot of people say the LC II is what the LC...

Well, Apple "stole" the television, and Microsoft stole the stereo... we're just going back in for the Betamax. :) Seriously, using the source code for any project is a bad idea. There is not a chance in Redmond of Apple allowing you to do anything with it's source code. I suppose you could...

Thanks, Scott, gobabushka, and IPNixon! I can't speak for anyone else, but part of the obsession for me is finally getting a chance to play with all this stuff that I could barely afford to read about when I was a kid. That's quite a collection IPNixon! A couple weeks ago I started going...

Ah, the Q605... the computer that started my obsession with the Macintosh. My friend received one for Christmas 2 years before I got my IIsi. Fortunately, he only lived two doors down, so I could spend lots of time with his computer. :) Don't think I would wear a "Feets fetishist" shirt...

At the very least, if I had no intention of ever using the computer, I would have done a bit of research and found out that it was retailing for $10,000 and sold it then - instead of 17 years later when it is worth practically nothing (monetarily speaking, of course).

My electric bill is usually $50 - $60 (U.S.) every month, which is probably about average for the U.S. This also includes a 100 Watt bulb for my turtle that is on about 12 hours per day. I also charge my iBook at work and use is on battery at home. I use it for work quite a bit, so I don't find...
