I'd be tempted to put the 8.1 partition first, then have your A/UX partitions afterward. My old Q660av would not boot a partition larger than 2GB, no matter what OS. But, once booted, it could read and write to Mac OS Extended (HFS+) formatted media, since 8.1 was installed.

Roll of Kodak Gold 200 in my Nikon F right now. Portra 400 in my Nikon F3, and a roll of Ilford Pan F Plus in my FE2...

A regular GS-RAM card for the IIgs... Also picked up a mid-2012 A1286 MBP to replace my late 2011 machine. 2.7 GHz i7 processor, 8GB RAM, 1TB drive. Like my late 2011 machine, it has the WSXGA anti-glare display. I will max out the RAM on it, install a 2TB drive, then split it up into three...

One of the Centris/Quadra 650s that I got from @AppaloosaMac had the same thing occur. Maxell bomb had taken out the holder and rusted the drive chassis, but the rest of the board looked ok.

Seems the purple Tadiran batteries started being used in 1988 or so. My original IIgs had one in it.

I had both a 9700 and a 9800, back when I had my second G4 DA (the one that got the OWC 1.2GHz upgrade). Both worked fine. The 9700 was a flashed card. The 9800, I think, was one from a G5...

As an example, the pic I posted 13 years ago of an SE/30 board with one that had puked its guts onto the board.

No, batteries are pretty much whatever Apple had on hand at the time. The battery bombed SE/30 I had was equipped with a Tadiran branded battery.

That is an oddball. I do remember seeing a ][ Plus in an ad (I think for Kensington and their System Saver) that had the membrane buttons at the bottom edge of the lid, but it still had the stock badge and no other buttons & switches. Nor did it have the additional vents and lid-mounted...

Ah, the 1998-2000 Presario minitower. Father had a 7478. Not that great of a machine. The 5630 at least looks like it has a PIII, instead of an AMD K6-2, like the 7478.

IIRC, you can also subsitute a IIci power supply to test the board with. But, yeah, sounds like something's still not right with the power supply.

Mac OS 8.1 CD to replace the one that's MIA. Also have a Quadra 650 logic board coming from Canada that has internal SCSI issues. Between that board and the one currently in my 650, should be able to have one good working board for said Mac.

A TP-Link TL-WR802N works great... Have one on my G4 DA.

*slight correction* The fan is mounted differently inside the later power supply, so it doesn't use the bracket that slides down into place. Instead, the top case panel covers the fan.

Yep. Same case size, a little more power, since it sometimes was powering a CD-ROM drive, in addition to the floppy, hard drive, and board itself.

Looks cool. That said, unless you want the machine to be 100% original, the IIvx, Centris/Quadra 650, and 7100 power supply works perfectly in a IIcx, IIci, or Quadra 700. Does away with the fan support bracket, since the fan is mounted inside the PSU enclosure.

Under System 7.5.1 and newer, you can hit the power key once it boots up. That brings up the shut down/restart dialog box with a beep. Hit return after the beep, and it should shut down.

The IIcx I had in 2013 acted the same way when it was booted on the internal ROM. Had a IIfx module and tried that. It booted without issues. Might be worth trying a IIfx ROM SIMM or a ROMinator II in there.

The SE that I had in the spring and summer of 2023 was running a Miniscribe that worked fine. I still decided to swap it out with something more useful, size-wise. Dropped in a good working 230MB Quantum. Sold it as a 4/230 config, running 6.0.8. Got it as a 2.5/20, running System 7.1, which...

Groan... 😜🤣
