Thanks found Build your own MAC very interesting

Yes Your right need to do some research on TTL to VGA? or some such

On further inspection looks like a CGA socket. @68kPlus your correct came from Epay and I probably paid way too much but was intrigued to see what it was!

What do you think the video socket and board is for?

Some people hated the compact Mac obviously. These are 512k boards with a homebrew VGA adaptor in an old PC type case. I haven't tested them yet. Pull apart and clean/inspect then see what happens.

I got mine to boot after rechecking/soldering all replaced caps and ultrasonic bath.

IIsi shouldn't need a battery to boot.

Any joy with this board?. Getting similar results with mine

Can you post pics of video connection etc?

Nice work

I've also had UE8 actually be faulty giving the same screen pattern

Nice

I think it was around 40 to 50 pounds. The combined price was around A$200 which was better than I could find here at the time. It was worth it as it was a made in Ireland version of the SE and it worked, only ever see asian and some us builds in Australia.

I won an SE on UK ebay a year or so ago and it arrived perfectly in Australia. You can be lucky some times

Looks like one I have

Fleabay prices in Australia start around A$250 no keyboard or mouse and usually untested

Is the floppy itself OK they die regularly!

Do you know the drive you put in works? Do you have another early mac to write a system floppy on? Where are you sourcing from, Mac Garden? Search for Apple System recovery CD and use that to create a new floppy on the G# if the drive is OK

Well done you
