Testing an FPU/Nubus adapter in a IIsi
Posted by: NoTrueSpaceman on 2020-09-04 12:46:21
In my on-going quest to refurb my IIsi, I'm looking to install a FPU/Nubus riser as well as a Macon network card.

Trying to do things incrementally, I'd like to install the FPU/Nubus adapter first and ensure it's working correctly.

I couldn't find any discussion of how to do this on the web (or the forum). Any ideas?

TIA! :grin:

Get Norton Utilities 2.0. Run System Info. Hit test.ย

Any ideas on how to get NU2.0 on a machine that doesn't have internet access yet? Also no floppy. Also only a ZIP drive that I can only burn images to from Linux.

You seem to lack the tools to complete the task at hand.ย

๐Ÿ™ yeah I think so. I guess I'll just wing it and see how it goes. Unfortunately I trashed my classic Mac collection decades ago so this is all "from scratch". It would have been easy then but its Hard Mode now. ๐Ÿ™

Does your Zip drive work on your IIsi at all? ย If so, for not much you could source a USB Zip drive and use a newer Mac to copy files over. Thatโ€™s how I got restarted back in January. If not you will need some sort of transition machine to get files over.ย
