Which LC? Describe the connector. The only 20 pin connector on my 475 is the floppy interface. The LC2 add-on to the LC slot is an 18 "pin" female connector. Was the MC88920 hacked with a socket or is is still surface mounted?

p.s. Where'd that star come fro.... wait a minute.... you guys are ranking members by number of posts.... gotta cut down on these long replies and cran....nah!

p.p.s. Great forum folks, I've learned a lot here already, gotta go see if a battery swap will resurrect my '475 and whack the video on my '605. It never would have crossed my mind that PIZZA BOXES GOT BATTERY POWERED VIDEO CIRCUITRY! No wonder the P-RAM cells only hold up for three years. The lengths to which Apple will go to further cheapen their power supplies never ceases to amaze me.

p.p.p.s. Just to be a contrarian, I'm going to see how long I can avoid getting another star by limiting my responses to one rambling, incoherent rant per day and then it will be easier for for anybody who gets annoyed to igno...nah!

Good one, Z, this was driving me crazy (well, bringing on an episode anyway), never saw/heard of 'em. Did the K-12 dual floppy versions have a second opening, or did they use a stock lid & manual-eject drive for system disk security?

I hope you were able to decode my cryptic posts.....
*feeling a little sheepish, considers lookin' back & cleanin' up his act, decides it sounds too much like work* I was so wound up Sun-Mon AM that I ended up really tired and was logged on, killing time here rather than myself out in the shop. I had ASSumed from your posts, that your main machine was the "LC" and that a coprocessor might be useful to a "mathgeek". So I jumped in when mkelley offered a free (+shipping) IISi/monitor to the 68kMLA cadre. There were actually enough clues in your posts at that point that my ASSumptions look kinda lame in retrospect. I should have figured it out, but hadn't, so finding out that you had a rockin' PB and that mkelley also has what just might be the PERFECT 12" BW topper for a K-12 TWO FREAKIN' floppy LC (1st rev.????) that takes the ***think I got one in the stack in the basement or in a box around here somewhere I'll check if my buddy wants it back and am I really feeling that sheepish? better log off quick before the monitor starts moving around faster and the last semblance of coherence fades away and...*** 1x CD-ROM (external: plugs into the Female DB-25 Backplane Connector and would be a kick @$$/10 if SCSI chained to a HUGE beige/white box with a full or half height, 20 MB range HDD inside) with the Apple logo on it, really rocked me back on my heels and I started babbling like the forum idiot 'cuz I'd just put dibs in on a copro for an underequipped math....

btw: none of my ASSumptions should be interpreted as implying any reflection upon you! I assume both ends of the ........

My hat's off to you, mathgeek, you really got me!

SCOREBOARD RESULTS:
mathgeek-several points
technosaur-a corresponding negative number if the OS doesn't crash on input, if it does, reboot, double your score, and set mine back to 0.

Hope this one clears things up and I promise not to employ obscure literary devices in future posts, now I'm really annoyed with myself, but editing sounds too much like the work I'm neglecting.

I lied, had to come back and fix just one little booboo, back to work!

...maybe an addendum would be easier for this one.....

I had also incorrectly interpreted your revelation being left-brained as a challenge a/o implying that I might suffer from ....

it wasn't, but I decided to let my last booboo remain as was (to push FW's buttons again) and I fixed another one instead.

ttfn

ha ha, that wacky TiMacLover! Some one ought to tell him that his poetic license has expired. That guy has a serious case of the crazy mouth. At least Trash80toG-4 makes me wonder what herbs he's into. I don't think TiMacLover can claim that as an excuse.

hey, I never said I hated you! You do bring a lot of info to the forum, it's just hard for me and others to decipher sometimes. I was just goofing. No harm intended.
