Note
A new Macintosh Plus arrived that will act as my BBS server once I've implemented enough code (see recent videos at
https://jcs.org/system6c)
It came with its original box and a SCSI hard drive
And a keyboard and mouse... what are these strange keys with arrows on them?
The analog board looks good and none of the caps look swollen, but maybe I'll recap it later just for good measure (it's going to be on 24/7)
I soldered in a diode across CR1 to provide SCSI bus power so I can use a SCSI2SD v5.5 like my development machine instead of this big hard drive enclosure it came with
It already has 4 megabytes of RAM installed
Here's the hard drive... thank you for your service at Benson Public Schools
Welcome, slightly yellowed friend
The CRT needed some slight voltage, positioning, and size adjustments
Voltage through the floppy port now at 5.05V and 12V and the screen image measures 7.1" x 4.75"
This Mac Plus didn't come with the "programmer's switch", so let's just print one
