I bought one of these off ebay! Thanks! It works great! :) My 5120 has been entirely recapped by a genius at the soldering gun, waiting on a cable to mount the scsi2sd, with the 8 megs of ram, and working on a new battery solution. I hate the Macintosh (in general) but this baby is just .. way, way too cute. And it looks nice next to the IIc+.

Only thing is, system 608 crashes when trying to access "About the Finder". I got worried for a minute after I installed the card, but after booting 701 and 71 and seeing the entire 9 megabytes the problem definitely lies within system 6. Is it just a case of "There's no way a portable can have 9 megs of ram, I shall now crash the Memory Manager" (rhetorical question I guess, as I won't be running 6 anymore)
