The stock adapter couldn't handle boot, as spinning up the hard drive took more juice than the adapter could provide. Once it was spun up, it took less than 1.5A. It didn't take a *lot* more than the power supply produces. I took mine out of the packing materials, plugged it in, and it booted right up. I went through that first 9v quick--there was a layer of plastic between the lead-acid battery and its contacts to insulate it during shipping :) > When considering to buy the M5120: check that the hard drive is not dead, > very common error, as they are very hard to find and only rarely offered on > Ebay. > > > Take Care, > > > Nico > > > -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- > Van: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] > Namens Dale > Verzonden: zondag 11 juli 2010 8:13 > Aan: Vintage Macs > Onderwerp: Getting Vintage Parts: Portable M5120 and/or Lisa > > Does anyone know a good source for vintage parts? > > Specifically: > > 1) Main (lead/acid) batteries and a 9v battery, and power supply for a > Macintosh portable M5120. > 1a) possibly system disks for the same > > 2) System disks (3.5) for a Lisa model A6SO200. > > These are eBay items with parts missing, and would otherwise be attractive > to a vintage collection. > > -Dale > > > -- > ----- > You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group. > The list FAQ is at http://lowendmac.com/lists/vintagemacs.shtml and our > netiquette guide is at http://www.lowendmac.com/lists/netiquette.shtml > To post to this group, send email to [email protected] > To leave this group, send email to [email protected] > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/vintage-macs > > Support for older Macs: http://lowendmac.com/services/ -- The Hawkins Law Firm Richard E.
