If I recall, the Classic has 1MB on the logic board, and to add anything to that you need the expansion board which has another 1MB soldered on, and can accept 2x 1MB SIMMs. So necessarily, if you have 2MB you have the expansion board I do believe!

The PDS NICs are interchangeable between SE/30 and IIsi it seems -- but the IIsi has the possibility of the NuBus adapter for its PDS, which opens the door to lots of (much cheaper) NuBus NICs on that side. The SE/30 necessarily has to use a PDS NIC or a SCSI Ethernet adapter.

I worked for a company years ago that used this concept in an actual marketed product (a touchscreen PC-based device for a dedicated purpose). The use case involved being plugged and unplugged from power repeatedly during the day, requiring a quick charge time, relatively short autonomy time...

Looks like a re-badged Kodak Diconix 150... In case that helps with the driver quest. The Kodak model was parallel though.

I remember playing with sound quite a bit - as much as it was possible to do without a mic port - under System 6 on a dual-floppy SE. So yes, the processor and hardware can handle it. I don't remember the limitations as far as sample rate however, and it is strictly mono.

If you're thinking of the era of electronics that had faulty caps when new, failing at staggering rates (early to mid 2000's), I'd say no - however the vast majority of Macs built in the early 1990s have caps that are failing now. Plague? I suppose in a way, but these machines have all...

Excellent! Probably a more feature-complete driver than CD Sunrise too. Glad it worked out!

Is the drive selectable now in the PC Exchange control panel?

If I recall correctly, the "CD Sunrise" extension added generic CD-ROM drive support.

OS/2 would be a much better match for that industrial beast than Windows!

Unfortunately, they changed the pinout of that connector between the SE/SE30, and the Classic / Classic II. The only functional difference is that sound in the Classics goes through the main connector instead of its own lead, but they changed everything else as well. I seem to keep referring...

Seems that the analog board in the Classic in particular is vulnerable to capacitor issues... This thread documents it somewhat: http://68kmla.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=21471 I haven't seen the exact issue you're describing on a Classic though, myself - I do have an SE I'm trying to...

Uniserver is in SE Michigan, and offers re-cap services: http://68kmla.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=20193 I suggest you contact him! He has worked wonders on my various logic boards.

Same here - on an SE and SE Superdrive, I was able to boot the entire series of systems that used to be available on the mac512.com site before Apple made them take it all down. "0.1" onward...

To go even farther, any Mac up to the SE has no real "minimum system" - they'll boot off anything they have RAM for and can read. So that would cover the scenario of Mac Plus ROMs in the 512...

All Mac floppy drives are auto-eject... Some are also auto-inject (grabs the disk before you're really done pushing it in). A lot of confusion on these terms leads to erroneous eBay listings.

Color was such a big deal at that time, I think the IIgs would have won out for me because of that! My answer would be different if today I could go back in time as my current self and make that choice -- There is a special place in my heart for compact macs, much more than any Apple II...

Looks like an Apple Monitor II

I would highly recommend getting a copy of Macintosh Repair & Upgrade Secrets by Larry Pina if you can, there is a lot of discussion on testing voltages on the 128/512 and failed component identification. Used copies seem pretty inexpensive at the moment...

It looks like one of those early "portable" LaCie drives that the advertised as being small enough to fit in a shirt pocket (they stretched the truth a tad). I've never seen the Clipper name though!
