No, I installed 7.5.3 with cache off. When it's on, the system crashes erratically, especially when going on America Online or using Netscape. I had the same problem with a Turbo 040-33 and an 040-40, but the same cache board clipped onto it. -- Deven Gallo -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by

The Quadra PDS is a different beast than the IIsi and SE/30 PDS. Same principle though. The slot that looks like a 72 pin SIMM slot is Apple's hedge against the chance they may have screwed up something in the ROM. Apparently they did in the very early IIsi as some shipped with a ROM SIMM. Those

Well, not really. All you'd need to do is get the source, a compiler, and see if there's an option to make sure is OFF so that it will compile it for System 7, not just 6. It may have been compiled back before System 7, and thus, it has no idea 7 existed. i.e. they tried to keep it from running

Additionally, if you want to install a NuBUS card in your IIsi, bear in mind that the slot is PDS, or a Processor Direct Slot, not a NuBUS slot. A NuBUS card won't fit. (And even if it did, it wouldn't work. :) ) You'll have to find a PDS->NuBUS adapter. Try to get one with a PDS and NuBUS slot

I really don't know what to tell you about the video, but yes, I'd say it could be damaged. Try cleaning the connector, and see if that helps. As for the Mac losing its settings, find a small black box on the motherboard. Pull off the top, take out the battery, and replace it with another of th
