For launching Copy II Plus and AW from a hard drive, you'd want to use ProSel. https://www.brutaldeluxe.fr/documentation/prosel/index.html

These might work... https://www.peconnectors.com/sockets-pga-cpu-and-memory/hws9229/ May have to split the sockets, depending on how the spacing is on the board for the SIMM headers. It's been a while since I had a Plus board in front of me (about three years).

It does. Think it's 30, instead of 36 for the Q650 and Q800.

Was my first color Mac, second Mac system I'd owned (first being a Plus 1/0 system). Mine was a former General Electric rental machine. 5/80 config, running 7.1, and with the 12" RGB monitor, as well as a M3501 keyboard. Bought it in late 1993. @speakers Agree completely with your comment...

You aren't in the Seattle, Washington area, are you? If so, I hope RE-PC gave you a better deal on the 650 than what it was advertised at (that is, if you wound up getting it there). I do have some RAM SIMMs that I pulled from my 7100/80 when I upgraded it to 56MB of RAM. They'll work in a...

That might be System 7 Pro, which can be considered a prototype for 7.5... The regular 7.1 is pretty quick.

No videos, but have been working on getting a 7100 up and running. Started out with a 7100/66 that I picked up early last month. This was the machine that had the capacitors that had corroded severely, yet seemed to run ok otherwise. I wound up retiring it, and picked up a 7100/80 from Ryan...

I skipped over 7.0.1. All of my machines have run at least 7.1 if I've run System 7, or have remained with System 6...

It's possible that maybe your System 7.0.1 install is somehow corrupted. If this is an SE or Classic, I'd almost leave it at System 6.0.8. If an SE/30 or Classic II, then maybe install 7.1 instead of 7.0.1. Seems like 7.1 was a little more reliable and should show the correct icons in the...

Sure, no problem. Yeah, have him check that area for cap goo. The good news is that the 74ALS240 chips are still available on the 'bay, so it is possible to replace them with new chips.

It may function, even with the battery damage. That said, it's almost guaranteed that there will be no Nubus slot usage... C16 looks to have puked its guts all over UH1, which is what interfaces the Nubus slots to the rest of the board. My old IIci's original board. Recapped it, replaced...

As long as the power requirements are the same, and the signal is compatible, I wouldn't see any reason why not. Remember, Apple did offer the monitor /// in both a greyscale version and the more common green phosphor version.

That's not terrible. Sold my Q950 for $450 last fall.

I may wind up popping in a G3 accelerator into mine, once I've a better board. After all, the IIvx is equipped with a faster 601 than the 7100 is.

Ah, the 7100/66? That's cool. Kind of a shame that Apple went away from the Wombat configuration board with the 8100 series. Looks like this machine may need either some major surgery on its board or a board swap (see my last post in the What Did You Do To Your Apple/Mac Today thread over at...
