I won a lot of 5 IIsi's last year. One of them came with no rom's soldered on the main board and a Rom Simm installed. Nothing seemed prototype about this machine. SE/30: Most of the time people just have 8 - 1mb simms installed anyways, in their se/30. Personally, I have no issues with

Wow, great backstory, Greg. I know you've been with the LEM Lists for a very long time and apparently associate with all things Apple for some time, too. So this thing is gonna go one of two ways. I find a IIsi and put it to the test, or it goes to Ebay for someone else to experiment on. The

I'm not sure you're reading the right thread, Mack. Dougg3 has done a couple of things, (the videos I saw on youtube), with the flashing floppy startup icon and startup chimes. OF course, the original part about making custom ROM SIMMs fits in. My query involved the contents or modifications

My first of three SE/30s was a mod. I had 128MB of RAM, a Daystar CPU, which required cutting the metal frame to squeeze it in, a 4GB SCSI hard drive and System 7.5.5. with every piece of software I owned on it. The other two were bone stock. 4 and 8MB RAM, System 6.0.8., and a 20MB and a 40MB

Carlos, I sent you a PM about a month and a half ago on erasing your drives, possibly in HB on one of your surfing safaris. The offer is still open. You could also degauss your drives yourself with a strong magnet, a neodymium magnet worksbest, refrigerator magnets do not cut it. Being that
