Well.. some good news! I finished recapping the IIsi today and bridging the black-tracks from some high-resolution images of the motherboard I found online.

Feed it a CRT and hard drive, powered it up and was greeted by a nice beeptone and a moment later it commenced booting and went straight to the desktop! Win!

Quite exciting!

Next on the hit-list is the Quadra 605 that had that rotten maxell battery that vomited spooge down the board and pds slot!

Rather excited.

Oh.. and I hear fireworks for my mac's rebirth! .. doh! it's only new years revellers! .. heh good timing!
