That osciallator is gonna cause problems, most likely. Get a 4-pin one. Steal one from a IIsi or LC II; there are plenty of crystal oscillators in the proper package with the right frequency range. I don't expect the video signal to work particularly well, and I'd be surprised if the floppy drive and serial ports still work, but everything else might be all right. -- the pickle FAQ <http://macfaq.org/index.shtml> _________________________________________________________________ -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
