A IIsi AND FreeHand?! Those two gave me my start as a freelance graphic designer.

I still miss System 6.x, 7.x, Mac OS 8.x and 9.x.

what the heck is 40 volume hair developer?

Hi, i was trying to turn on my Macintosh IIsi adter long time (with also original monitor associated). It was working perfectly so far, but this time on startup it suddenly turned off and a smell of burn came out of the computer. After that, it was failing to turn on and was producing just some noises when pressing the power button. What do you think could be the cause? Do you think it can be just a matter of substituting the electrolytic capacitors? Thank you in advance

Si pudieras responder:,será bueno . Tengo un equipo de estos, lo que me doy cuenta es que la batería solo tiene conexión al polo positivo en la placa . No veo donde se conecte el polo negativo . Puedes ayudarme. Gracias from Chile I hope you understand… 😊

Hola

love this machine. mine has a 250MHz G3 Sonnet in it :)

The first time I ever sat in front of a computer, it was a Mac IIsi at my graphic design job. I was hoked! Aldus FreeHand was the software I used. I'm still a graphic designer using a Mac Studio M2 Max. Shown at 3:18 is the monitor I had. Shown at 26:52 is the keyboard I had. This Mac started my digital graphic design carrier.

Ah, with the methods youre using, I can tell youre also an 8 bit guy fan!

Wow, beautifully done. Love your channel! I wish I had the time and money to show that much love to the machines of yesteryear. Hopefully someday I will, but until then thanks for letting me live vicariously through you. I look forward to more ❤

Some time ago I found a tossed out (in a dumpster) Power Macintosh 6500/250, matching CRT, keyboard, mouse, and some disks & programs. It works!! Needs cleaning, but seems to work good! Thank you 🤓 also has the optional Zip drive. If I am looking correctly, the modem is present in my 6500! The previous owner CPU fan mod was a good idea, but wasn't installed too well! Your video is incredibly detailed! Also did you place new thermal paste on the CPU? Also, the screen doesn't fully stretch to fill the CRT?

Install a voodoo 2 card and play Unreal

This video is phenomenal. I hope you keep on going! 🎉

I never really liked the IIsi until much later after the era of the Macintosh II family. My first Macintosh was the LC and from looking at this video it appears that the design of the IIsi was a bigger version of the LC design wise. the Macintosh II family was a very beautiful family of Macintosh and I miss them all now. Even though I am on an Apple Silicon Mac writing this response. BTW you did a great job on your restore. Funny (maybe not) as soon as you began messing around with the power supply the first thing I thought to myself was BAM! Which most likely had I been in the room with you while you were dealing with it I would have done because well that's just my sick humor. Nonetheless, thank you for a great video.

My god man, you just brought back a lot of memories for me. That monitor, and the Radius one that you could switch between landscape and portrait mode. The Quadra 700 (the one Macintosh I always wanted) and of course the Power Macintosh 6500.

3:21 ❤🐈‍⬛😊

Great video, hope to see more!!! Rescue all the Macs <3

Thanks for a really good video with a good commentary and , not to loud, music. Im now subscribed.

Make new videos!!!

Very well done! Thanks for this great video and attention to detail e.g. the comparison before and after

Thanks for this! I just ran across the IIsi I bought new when I switched from a DOS machine. When it looked like I would have to switch to Windows, I thought if I was going to go to a GUI it should be a Mac. I can’t believe I would have paid that much for it! I have the monitor, too. It’s been in storage for ages but I am so glad I kept it. I’m going to see if I can get it running!

Had so much hope for this channel! Please come back!

This machine was a beast! we got a couple at University, in our multimedia Arts department. Complete power-houses with video cards, good HD size (for the time) and fast enough for anything. The sound was absolutely incredible too, with it's inbuilt-sub woofer. Didn't have to go hunting for a zip drive too, with the built in Zip drive. such fond memories of this machine.

your videos are amazing, I am wondering that, are you going to make new videos?

oh dang, I miss that vertical screen! The grail of DTP pros everywhere

The build itself is beautiful. The machine is adorable. Like a huggable little animal. Just the color is hideous.

Great video. I can tell that I was the luck one, I was present on the last Macworld on Boston, august, 1997, they was selling the Performa 6400, it was just discontinued that month, august 1997 and the new iMacs was coming on 1998. I had a very bid discount, I bought it for U$799, a bargain. The original price was U$2400. The performa 6400 has the same form fact as the PM 6500. The 6400 was a good computer for multimedia content, on model even came with Video card for editing videos (not mine), I had a external scsi cd-writer and start to make my own CDs. The cd-writer it self costs as much as the Performa back that time! It was pure fun using mac those days, did not even have windows 98 yet!

That disk drive cleaning was my favourite bit of any recent video I have ever watched lol. Great job. Do you have any suggestions about making power supplies safe? Do you have to earth certain components/capacitors before working?

Did you refresh the thermal paste on the cpu?

Great video! The IIsi was my second Mac (1st was a Classic) that I bought used for $900.00. It served me well for several years. Such a great computer, and good looking!

This is the best video I have ever seen, I do not think a better video will ever be made.

Wonderful monitor ! So do you think the standard Macintosh II videocard in the IIcx cannot drive the Portrait display ? What about the built-in one of the IIci ? Thanks

Very good video. Thanks for sharing. Nice machine and wonderful Portrait Display (coming from the previous era if I'm right ?)

amazing video! you deserve so many more subscribers!!

This was such an excellent video.

This was awesome! I just found a Macintosh IIsi near me that I could pick up and I want to try the same. Where did you find the replacement capacitors?

Loving your videos!

I used one of these monitors in college for the student newspaper. It was great for layout and design.

Definitley subscribing. What a neat channel! Love the commentary.

I love the video, the thoroughness and the voice and the whole setting. It's so relaxing to watch this machine get some care. I have a IIci that I want to get back to working again, and I'm inspired now! Also a original iMac with a 3dfx upgrade card.. Thanks for the inspiration! And the joy :)

Just binge watched all your videos, amazing work! 👏👍 This video is your best yet. What a cool machine 😍

Ah, this made working on Aldus Pagemaker, so much easier!

Finally someone else who puts boards in a dishwasher!

👍 just place a Little Sticker inside with the Date of recap and battery change for the next owner…

I bought a Mac II si in late 1990. It was a big disappointment at the time, as it was very pricey, and it was slow as molasses right out of the box. It could barely run a Disney screen saver that just cycled static images. I upgraded the RAM from 4 MB to 8 MB, but that made virtually no difference. Even if the price were half that of what it cost new, the performance was too slow to justify the cost. I ended up selling it in July 1995, and bought a Pentium 100 machine to run the new Windows 95 at the time.

Do one on the 12" Monochrome that fit the LC.

Dunno if anyone else has said this, but this guy's voice over sounds exactly like alec from technology connections

I have this and a performa 476 these are my original 90s machine. I recently got this unit back online and connected to the web to cant do much but it is on.

$5,000?! **Wild Eep**

This is fantastic! Thank you! About to do the same with a 6500/200.
