OK, I'll pay the extra US$30 to get the floppy module. My PowerBook 1400cs/166 has the CD module already in it. I'll also get a HDI-30 to 25-pin SCSI adaptor so I can Use SCSI D…

yup i sifted through the bull, and found this post, as trag mentioned they have got to it first. the issue looks most likely caps.   and it looks like they can (with this psu) be …

OVERVIEW A limited number of Macintosh II CPUs were manufactured with an HMMU-unique socket that does not allow the CPU to function properly if a PMMU upgrade is installed.  Custom…

I said that up top. Recalled because of a socket issue. The four chips to the lower right, see those? The black upper right one comes in versions that have different pin layouts un…

just an update havent had too much time to look into the power supply further.  But one thing, i did stumble across a site called atxg4.  He has adapters to use atx ps in g4's. He …

to uniserver, the board in the top pic is the one i am currently working on, its the working one.  On the other mac II i have the board pictured on the bottom.  One thing though, i…

If you can get both yes. I have a 2GB CF in a PCMCIA Adapter which I copied the System 7.6.1 on my 5300ce as a back up drive, and tried it on my 1400/133 & 166. They both …

Ya, but I am just making a list of models. Im not interested in motherboard variations, etc.

unity said: I could be wrong. I just have never seen a model like M0001EP or M0001AP, etc. I could put them into the list proper, but that would add a few lines for sure!  …

Should I purchase a floppy module as well as the CD module?

YAY!

I have a 1400c/166 running 7.6.1. No problem.

So, I am thinking of getting a PowerBook 1400cs/166 off eBay to run Mac OS 7.5/7.6 (I'll probably use 7.6 since it's better on PPC) really fast. But, everymac.com says that the 16…

I agree with Macdrone. Apple Utility HD will format the drive if it is working. That is a Big if. What kind of noises is the drive making? Anything other a constant high pitched w…

Well you can try Apple HD utility on a system 7 floppy.  But I am gonna jump out on a limb and say the hard drive inside is stuck or dead unless you know it was erased.

Hi, I have a classic two which has to support for hd20 emulation. It has a hard drive in it, which spins up and makes noises, but it does not mount when I boot up the mac. Is there…

Given the pin out for the Powerbook 5xx series charger, could one be powered by an AC adapter that only has two wires, one live and one ground? My thinking is I could tie the groun…

There are 3 main revisions of the Lisa Hardware, the original with the twiggy drives (Lisa 1), the updated version with one Sony drive (Lisa 2) that is otherwise the same as a Lisa…

I need to find photos, if I have any, of my sold Mac XL. I am starting to think it had that spare cable too now. But its been so long.

The sticker on the case says A6S0300P  Thats why I call it a Macintosh XL. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_Macintosh I find it complicated these names.....

The 220V-240V, 50Hz, .7A PS would be correct for Lisa's in Europe, it's nothing special.  Later Lisa 2/10 (XL) units with the widget drive used a 1.8A PS that was internally 120V-6…

As I told here before my other Lisa has also the "strange unused power connector". See below. It say on the casing also that it is a A6S0300P There is also the PSU I can't find…

Thanks for all the suggestions! I think I'm going to have a look at it this friday, I'll keep you updated with my findings!

The two 26 pin ribbon cables are for the upper and lower twiggy drives, these cables have both data and power in them.  The other 3 wire plug is for nothing, Apple never used this …

And this is why I love this group. Great info here!
