    IIsi boot issue

    Oh would the fact that none of these macs have anything in the ROM slot be an issue?

    IIsi boot issue

    My dip switch VGA adaptor got here- a mitsubishi ad-a205, However still none of my 3 IIsis will work with it. It has a IIsi configuration but that doesn't work. The adaptor itself works fine with my LC II. GRRRRRRRRRR

    IIsi boot issue

    I will be eventually replacing caps :p I've ordered a new video adaptor with switches as I won't have access to my proper Macintosh CRT. All three of my IIsis do the same things. Sound works, they boot, monitor turns on. Its really weird!

    Bridging internet to local talk

    Hi all thanks for the help :) I'll try the IPNetRouter. I would put it in my LC 475 but I don't yet have an ethernet card for it- My Centris is my only Mac with an ethernet card and local talk at the moment.

    IIsi boot issue

    Hi All- Just got a Macintosh IIsi with issues. It chimes, and then starts reading the hard drive and I can hear it make an error noise once it has finished loading (Presumably for not shutting it down properly. However I get no display on my known working VGA monitor with cable. It turns but...

    Bridging internet to local talk

    Hi All, I'd like to share the internet connection (Ethernet) to some Macs on a local talk network. My Centris 650 has an ethernet card and I would use this Mac as the host. Anyone have any idea how to do this? The other Macs are a collection of LCs and the occasional Powerbook. ~Oldmacs

    Using Modern Hard Drives on Old Macs?

    Why have all the prices on the SCSI to IDE adaptors skyrocketed on eBay? I didn't even have the money for them when they were $100 :'(

    Is there any chance it could be to do with a slightly dodgy power adaptor?

    Mac Plus turns off after short time

    Would the Capacitor really trip a circuit breaker though? When I taled to some vintage Mac people about a year ago, they said that it was probably tripping from arching as the transformer slowly pulled away from the board..... My Plus hasn't been turned on since about 2011 ish so would it be...

    Mac Plus turns off after short time

    I had two Macintosh Pluses that did this. One I sold, but I still have one. Mine would sit there on a white screen then trip, after about a minute. I then sold one and kept the one that looked better. However when I got it back out about a year later, it turned on with garbled image, If I...
