I just watched some of the video, and my experience has been that excess noise or whining comes from the LCD backlight, but I have NOT listened through headphones. I'll have to take a listen to that output, and I can also record the output and see if there's any pops or clicks happening...

Would you be open to repairing other IIsi boards?

Hey, just wanted to send shoutouts to @Kay K.M.Mods , @Drake @jcm-1 and @mrfahrenheit. I had Drake install OS Cons on my 575 board, Joe installed the Spicy and I’m running the 60ns VRAM. I have a heat sink and fan, running steady at 44 Mhz. Apple IIe card installed, Total Replay, BlueSCSI...

Crazy cool!!!!

Ridiculously cool.

I can attest that this one works with my 5126: https://www.amazon.com/ZOZO-Regulated-Switching-Replacement-Electronics/dp/B015PXUHYA

Is it possible to put the 575 drive in the CC housing, and is there a benefit if you could?

It would be nice if the Spicy overclocking didn’t have any effect on Floppy issues. In a previous post, you mentioned a difference between the CC and 575 floppy drives. When building a Mystic, would it be better to also transplant the 575 floppy in there as well? Just curious what your...

Not sure, I need to test it first. I had one with my 7100/80 when I ran my recording studio in the late 90s. It has a couple spots of corrosion on it, and the 8100 logic board needs cleaning and recapping before it can be tested properly. I’ll probably keep it as I know how rare it is. Also...

The jumper settings are the same on the Pivot card as the MacCon.

Here’s the link: you can daisy chain the Mac Con and Radius Pivot card in the IIsi because it has a right angle adapter. https://manualmachine.com/asantetechnologies/macconfamilyethernetnetworkcardsforthemacintosh/384548-user-manual/

Yeah, those are for the addressing. If you’re running multiple cards you have to make sure they’re not conflicting. I have the MacCon, Radius card and Micron all on different addresses.

I’m working on it. I figured out that the pin sensing on the Pivot card isn’t quite setup right. If you angle the DB15 to VGA adapter the right way then it works. Right now I’m focused on getting the internal gray scale working correctly.

My CRT works fine without the wiring harness and CRT board, so I don't think that's my issue.

I have 4-5 500 series and I feel like the reason they don’t power up is because the solder on the power connector is flaky. Sometimes if you put pressure on the power connector, you’ll hear the power supply relay click and the machine will power up. Try that. If the connector is really flaky...

I never thought about adjusting the fly back.. interesting idea

Hello! Worked on the CRT board and wiring harness for the Micron XCEED card. Didn’t turn out, so curious about what went wrong. I’ve attached photos:

There's an actual IIsi version of this card that doesn't need the Nubus adapter. Wondering if that's causing an issue.

Ah good to know. I've done the VGA mod, so not necessary then.

Wanted to chime in here, didn’t someone have a special OS image that had certain extensions modified for the Spicy mod?
