I just got around to opening a machine I bought that was an "upgraded 128K".

It seemed rather heavy. When I opened it up there was a hard drive in there connected to a board with the name "MacGusto" on it.

The MacGusto board is connected to what appears to be a 128k logic board, has upgraded RAM to 512k and then has a daughterboard that adds SCSI.

This SCSI board is connected to the hard drive, which turns out to be an MFM(?) drive with a SCSI daughterboard attached. Power is routed to the drive via wires soldered on the back side of the analog board where the logic board connector (J4?) is located. You know - the one that always has cracked solder joints

On a quick smoke test, the HD is dead, Mac bongs and comes to the flashing floppy, but the floppy is gunked shut.

I'll get up some pictures when I can.

Google doesn't turn up anything on the MacGusto board. I'm a little leery of doing much with the machine drawing drive power off the analog board this way, though I can try a laptop drive to minimize power consumption. Now that I have my FloppyEmu, I'm going to try and fire up the machine and find out more.

Anyone heard of "MacGusto"? Any info would be appreciated.
