I just want to clarify... do you mean you checked the voltages for the battery.. or the PSU voltages getting to the relevant pins on the nubus slots themselves? The reason I ask is I recently had an issue with a IIcx where certain things weren't getting power, and I think that also included the...

Nor do I, but the troubleshooter in me likes to cover all the bases, especially for something simple to try! If it’s working with another board, my gut instinct is an issue with the onboard memory. Or, possibly a chipset that’s only activated when part of the system calls on it during...

Tried an OS other than 9.1? Maybe 8.x? I mean.. it shouldn’t make any difference.. but it could potentially highlight an area of interest depending on the outcome?

Could just be a dirty laser.. I've had at least a couple that needed that.

Well, this is something.. I was dumping stuff at the local recycling centre and there were some iMacs. I was only able to grab one (you’re not supposed to take anything and the staff are very protective of it) so I chose the Flower Power, even although it was missing the bottom case.. the...

Have you confirmed the drive itself is working correctly? Maybe swap in the 800k drive from the Plus temporarily (make sure to use the same ribbon cable from the plus if you do this)?

That one made me chuckle.

I want Stary Skyline!

Oh I live for that excitement!

What a rollercoaster! 😅

Beautiful, thank you!

I really shouldn’t be spending money on anything at the moment, but this popped up for just £52 and I couldn’t resist. I’ve always had a deep love for the Marathon games, and I hate myself for binning my old original triangular boxed copies of Marathons 1, 2, and ∞. And this even has the three...

Exciting that you got it working! I'm planning to do this myself at some point in the future.. did you follow a particular guide?

Personally my favoured option is just having a long extension wire coming out the back of a spare compact Mac that was in rough exterior shape, means everything is in one easily transportable box. I have one made from an old Mac Plus, a Classic II, and a SE.

Oh.. it looks like that's the display that would go with the Full Page cards for the SE and SE/30 (and I imagine other Macs from around that time too). Is there any markings on the display to indicate when it was manufactured as I suspect it's probably from the late 80s rather than your PCI...

Also on a side note, you need to find yourself the matching 15" Studio Display (and keyboard) to complete this beautiful beastie!

Is it just as simple as swapping the chips? I always wondered if there was any other modifications required or updated roms. It’s been overwhelming for years.. but it’s been cathartic getting it all sorted out. I’m nowhere near done yet, but I’ve at least been able to get everything where it...

I can’t guarantee anything, but I think I have a spare rev 2 board. I’m currently in the process of finally getting my garage/workshop cleared out (I can now actually see the floor!!!) and I have a huge pile of motherboards I need to sort through. If you’re interested send me a PM in a week or...

Beautiful work!
