Love me some blinky HD activity lights! I'm sure someone else has already done this mod, but the IIsi has an extra lead on the speaker / power LED leads that's for SCSI activity. So I just ran a wire from the extra lead to the green wire lead of the LED power light. That way I've still got the power light (which I'm also fond of) along with an activity light.

Nice here’s another one I’ll pass onto you you can connect a speaker (wired) and the LEDs to J16 if you solder on a pin header that way you don’t have to rely on the unreliable pins of the speaker.
