      Just think, having a Quadra 950 in 1992 would be like having a Mac Pro today… except with more slots, more expandability, and on-board SCSI!

      Different Macintosh in Original User Guide?

      By unity · Posted

      I won't give advise one way or the other on this given its a prototype shell, but I never use case splitters because they often scratch/nick the interface between the two haves. I wont even buy a Mac if its chewed up like that. I always lay face down and do the slap on the side as I lift technique and let the weight of the CRT/internals anchor the faceplate down as the bucket pops off. The only machines this does not work well on is the Classics, those are some tight cases!

      One more question. When i turn on the computer, i have to wait for some seconds in order to start booting. Is this normal? My macintosh LC475 boots immediately.

      Remember that the 128k has 5 screws! The fifth screw is in the battery compartment. You have tho remove it, if you want to open the 128k! Some cases of 128ks were ruined because the people tried to open the case and forgot the fifth screw.

      SCSI2SD and se/30

      By dochilli · Posted

      It is the same process for the most compacts, only the plus needs an extra power supply and some work to get it to boot from the SCSI2SD.

      Macintosh II recapped, got chime but no other action

      By Falter · Posted

      I got a bit further - I found a trace that had been eaten through, patched it, now the Mac starts off both keyboard and back power button!  Unfortunately, still no video or boot though.   That indicates to me the possibility of more traces.. but so far I'm not seeing any that are obviously suspect.     I will note that while I can power up with the keyboard button, I cannot shut it off with that.  Only will shut off with the back power button.
