The SCSI port in the battery door was a third part upgrade that existed for a while. It is indeed a 128K originally. > >Is this in fact a Plus motherboard or a modified 128k/512k/512ke >board?

Sadly, the >external SCSI port in >the battery door location is not working... The 128K, 512K and 512Ke all had the same back panel connectors, including DE-9 serial ports and a DE-9 mouse port. The Mac Plus has Mini-DIN 8 serial ports and a DE-9 mouse port. It is not a Mac Plus. AFAIK the SCSI isn't compatible with the Plus and unless this machine had both a 512K and 512Ke upgrade it doesn't have an 800K floppy nor the 128K ROMs. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
