Have you shaken the drive gently to see if anything is loose inside?  I ask this because there is a glass head guide that is glued in and literally falls off after some time.  I tried to fix mine but it cracked off and was chipped.  With a 5MB drive, you could actually open it as long as you...

I could never figure out how to remove the side panels.  Is it easy?

Ethernet Cards can be found but you have to look and a little luck is required.  For the SE/30, the MacCon ethernet card is shared with the Mac IIsi model as Trash80 stated above.  Be on the look out for an SE/30 or IIsi with a network card in it.  I just picked up this little gem myself and got...

I try to have a keyboard, mouse and monitor for each computer I have.  Sometimes it's hard to figure out what keyboard is accurate for the model with Apple products.  I also try to get a period terminal for earlier computers. I really like complete systems.

As mentioned above, the first board is a Rev 7 RFI motherboard used in the Apple II+.  The second board looks like an earlier Rev 4 motherboard that was probably used in an Apple II+ also.  Earlier versions of this board had green slots and were in both the Apple II and Apple II+.  There is a...

I bought a Data I/O System 19 with Unipak that should arrive shortly.  It should go down to 2708s.  It's  a gamble.  I am also building an ME1702a programmer so I can do 1702a's too.  Hopefully the System 19 is the last programmer I have to buy.  Somehow, I doubt it.

Actually CelGen, you did well, even if you can't use this one for your 10MB ProFile.  It is a collectible chip at least.   The two I bought I got in the $20 range also.  You just have to be patient.  I believe I found mine by looking at the photos posted for Z8's that didn't list the part...

Here's a pic of both.

EDIT: Sorry, not sure why a quick edit quoted my original post instead of just editing the original.

Correction: You can low level format all the 5MB ProFiles whenever you want.  The 10MB ProFile requires a Z8613 piggyback Z8.  If you need to borrow it, let me know ;)

Thanks for the reply, Charlieman. So the power supply has the 12V (AC) 19.2 VA markings on it?  I was pretty surprised when these didn't have any sort of label on them to indicate the power consumption so I figured they would be on the power supply. Thanks.

Thanks Charlieman, I appreciate it but mine appears to be center positive.  The center lead goes to an internal fuse that, I'm pretty sure, is positive.  It's also a black wire as opposed to a blue one on mine. Here's a picture of my board:

Hi Charlieman, I can't see your reply but I did get it via email (probably an issue because of the the downtime). You stated: Is the 12V AC or DC? Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the tips. I did look at the Wayback machine and found their website and mention of the card but there was no documentation posted.  There was a link to their drivers but the link pointed to an FTP site that doesn't work (and Wayback doesn't archive).  I think I found the drivers in...

I scooped up two of these on eBay but they don't have power supplies.  Does anyone have one or know where to find a manual so I can check the power requirements?  It has a center male pin in the round power plug.  Is it center positive or negative? Any help is much appreciated.

I am assuming the Mac keyboard interface works but it would be cool to put a Mac keyboard into a Lisa shell so it would look totally like a Lisa. 

You've got an HD20 hooked up and it works?  That's fantastic! If you could get a Lisa keyboard shell and fudge a Mac keyboard into it, nobody would ever now the difference :)   

It is a Macintosh is Lisa clothing.  It's definitely not Sun Remarketing or Apple would have cut off all ties.  They already had something better and it was the Macintosh XL.  I should also mention this gets top marks for a hack that uses a  Lisa case :)

Thanks Hap.  It is in pristine condition and I'm pretty sure it's never been opened.   I appreciate the help archer174.  After trying a few things to try to get the original drive to boot properly, I gave up and installed another hard drive and did a fresh install of NeXTstep 3.3.  This allowed...

The switch is highlighted in red.  You can also jam a q-tip or cotton swab in there (that's what I use) (Image was originally from Digibarn but I cropped it to zero in on the area and circled the switch)
