    MacPlus Board Revisions 820-0174 A-D

    The only thing i can think of are Roms, they are several available, so maybe the revisions are following Roms. Probably also some changes in the Logic Board design, but should be pretty light.

    Apple IIe: what cards to choose

    Probably both Ram cards are overkill, the mouse card, well, don’t use it too much myself. Both serial cards, I will keep the SSC only.

    Macintosh 128 Error

    No, the fault code is clear, memory issue. This is a common problem on the 128/512 line. The voltage is better tested at the rear floppy port. The red wire is neg 12 (- 12 volts) and if removed from the board, probably will no be accurate.

    Très chouette... the Walkman is a nice touch, at first glance make me think it was a Quicktake.

    Floppy drive microswitch issues

    So if i am not mistaken, the switch you are talking about is SW2. Center pin is not connected to anything, and just a mounting point. One side is connected to ground, the other side to pin 46 of the Sony CX20185 chip. This chip is a read/write amplifier, so when the carrier is down, pin 46...

    Floppy drive microswitch issues

    Not clear to me but the switch should be normally open when there is not disk inserted, and closed when the disk is in, and the to carrier is in the bottom position. Your best option is to have a copy of the schematics and using a multimeter, have a look at what trace goes where and see what's...
