@3583Bytes,

I would get a Mac to VGA adapter that has switches on it. Although most of my Macs will work with separate sync, I found that the IIsi would only connect to my VGA monitors with composite sync set.

I don't think removing the battery will cause an issue with the soft power. You should be able to get it to boot with the power switch in the back, at least.

@Elfen,

If I recall, the IIsi is a 32bit clean machine. The ROM SIMM slot was to provide the ability to upgrade the ROM at a later date. I think the early production machines had a ROM SIMM in the slot, whereas later computers had it attached to the motherboard. I believe the ROM SIMM is sought after by II, IIx & SE/30 users because it makes their machine 32bit clean.

Hope that helps!
