In fact, PCI expansion chassis aren't a new idea; MacCentral describes one such offering from a company called MAGMA, who has just announced their PCI expansion systems for the PowerBook G3 Series of laptops. For about a grand, you can add three or seven PCI slots to your nifty new PowerBook. The expansion unit connects to the PowerBook via one of the media bays, so you'll have to give up either your CD-ROM/DVD drive or your floppy drive while you're connected, but hey, how often do you really need that floppy?

It's a neat idea: the 292 MHz G3 PowerBooks aren't just really fast laptops; they're really fast computers. Period. There's no real reason a G3 PowerBook couldn't double as your full-time desktop powerhouse system, especially now that you can give it a whopping seven PCI slots. That's more than any shipping Mac has ever offered. So let's hear it: anyone out there planning to do full-scale high-end video production work on a PCI-enabled PowerBook? Now that would be cool.

infernal machines posted:

it is!

I haven't booted the Lisa for ~11 years now, but it booted in 2003! the only issue was a slow vertical roll of the screen, which might be as simple a fix as adjusting a potentiometer.

after moving cross-country and then a couple more times since I came to the bay, who knows if it does. even so, virtually anything other than its HD should be easily reparable since it's almost all 7400-series logic with a few PROMs and maybe the occasional PAL.

I thought I posted some pics of it and its innards (well, its CPU, I/O, and memory boards) earlier. I want to replace the RAM boards with something providing like 8MB to avoid swapping in use, which would make it much faster. it'd probably be a good idea for me to look into the ProFile HD protocol at some point, too, so as to replace that with something that can use an SD card.

i now have a Mac Floppy Emu (the brown box in front of the Mac IIci) so I can at least use that instead of physical disks to reload the Lisa with the Office System from the disk images I have on an old Technical Information Source CD.

it's SCSI, you can get a drive for cheap

and for the display, you can get a VGA adaptor and most multisync displays with VGA input will handle Mac frequencies

oh, in that case i already have a drive for it. for some reason i thought it was the slot-style mfm connector, not scsi.

the display connector is a db-9 connector, i have no idea what the video format is though.

just be sure to tweak the Apple HD SC Setup utility that doesn't check for an Apple-firmware drive (usually it's just a single-byte tweak)

also good luck with booting from floppy if you only have a double-density drive, writing GCR disks is hard without an older Mac. what model Mac II is it?

are you sure it's DB-9, not DB-15?

unless it's a third party card for a specialty monitor like one of the old Radius or RasterOps full- or two-page displays, it should be a DB-15 and output something fairly close to VGA's 640×480 signal.

it's a radius full-page nubus card. 800K and high-density drives, all the memory slots are populated but i don't know the simm size, at a guess it's 4MB total.

i definitely don't have a scsi drive with that connector though, but i know where i might find one. as far as the discs go, i have a working mac classic i can use and a good set of the original disk utilities and system disks from system 7

sweet! I don't remember if you're in the Bay Area, if you are I can hand you a spare Toby Framebuffer (original Mac II video card, does VGA-ish 640x480) or equivalent SuperMac card.

WeirdStuff has a bunch of old Mac SCSI drives for not-so-cheap (:tenbux: or more)

HSC has more modern ones, like multi-GB 10K RPM SCSI-2 and SCSI-3 drives, for dirt cheap but you'd need an adaptor

does it have a PMMU? what rev ROM? (I guess "latest" if it has the FDHD upgrade)
