Ah, ok. PM'ed you.

Does the machine work normally with the power supply from one of your other IIci machines? If so, then yes, definitely power supply related. I mentioned in a PM to @olePigeon over at the other forums, that I'm planning to upgrade my IIci to a power supply from a Centris 650... A little...

A bit crowded, still no Apple II action (//e is still in the closet), and one of the Macs isn't on, because it shares its keyboard, mouse, and monitor with the IIci currently. L-R: mid-2010 MBP, running OS X 10.9.5; SE dual FDHD, running System 7.5.1 and sitting atop the Centris 650, which runs...

Welcome to the asylum... I'm kind of the black sheep of the family. Don't personally own any Wintel machines at this time, but the rest of the family is mainly Windows-based, so I do work on them. Case in point, last night, reinstalled a printer driver on my father's HP that he reverted back...

All five Macs. G3 and Centris 650 aren't powered up in the photo. In the case of the 650, it's sharing its monitor, keyboard, and mouse with the IIci. The G3, I had its monitor hidden by the MBP. Need a larger table to set everything up on, especially since there's also the //e, which is...

I have seen aftermarket USB-lightning port sync cables that are with a reel mechanism in the past... So, they are out there. Re: the truck, our old Ford Exploder would do something similar if the tank was low and it was parked facing downhill. Apparently, in Ford's wisdom, they decided to put...

Looks like fun... (yes, sarcasm intended) Anyway, should be nice once it's done, plus the house will be worth more. I do have a suggestion... Replace at least one of the electrical outlets with the duplex/USB charging outlets... Been doing that on our house, replacing at least one outlet in...

*skip* lol All four of my non-Intel Macs are equipped with the meowtoast CR2032 adapters...

In other news, looks like three of the five Sony MP-F75W floppy drives I have are at least mostly useable. One (the drive from the first IIci's case) needs a serious relube job, since it takes a while for the mechanism to drop the disk down onto the spindle. Ejects pretty easily. Once the...

The SE. Dual FDHD setup mocked up. Still need to hunt down the aftermarket SCSI hard drive bracket. I may actually run an 80MB drive in it that came with my second IIci that I just picked up yesterday afternoon and save the 100 for an SE/30 or maybe a Mac II. Details on the second IIci: 8/80...

First image is the G3 accessing the internet for the first time since I received it in 2019. Went to the garden and downloaded a copy of Compact Pro to install on my machines. Second image is the IIci booted, after I'd swapped the SE's 160MB drive into it with System 7 Pro installed, using the...

On a P475, you'd change out the oscillator, if I remember correctly. It's more like a IIsi. The 650 board has a resistor at either R151 or R152, depending on if it's a Centris or a Quadra, respectively. If the LED is removed from the board, it then becomes a Quadra 800 board, after the...

Yup. Just swap it into the SE and see if it works there. One thing to check on the SE/30 is the harness between the analog board and the logic board. I've found that my SE has some issues with the harness, verified by flipping it around, so the plug that was connected to the analog board is...

Nick, Glad to see you made it over here. Thanks again for the 68040 chip. Still need to move the resistor on the bottom of my C650's board to turn it into a Q650 board. -John

A9M0106 arrived. Needs help. Gummed up, zero track sensor out of alignment, etc. Might even need an eject motor gear. IIci also arrived. Was said to be equipped with a blank hard drive. Nope, Has System 7.5.1 on its Quantum LPS105S. Floppy drive needs help, but less help than the...

Pretty much.

Looks like if the drive has a label with red writing on it, you want the yellow stripe cable (or one without a stripe). If it's with black writing on the label, it uses the red stripe cable. -J

If we can verify that the board doesn't charge the battery, another option would be a double AA holder with two Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries. Provides 1.8 volts per battery until death.

I found that when I was trying to get my Plus to boot a floppy that when I bumped the zero track sensor's board, it booted up without issues. Put the drive away for a couple days after testing the computer out, then decided to install it in the SE, so I could try to copy some files over to that...

Same thing with the later Sony MP-F75W FDHD drives. A stock 512 will consider it a 400K drive. A 512Ke will think it's an 800K drive. If the 400K drive uses a zero track sensor like the later drives, it might be worth trying to adjust it and see if that causes it to read a known good 400K...
