This machine did not need much, just a PRAM battery and SCSI drive. Motherboard looks fantastic, I think it might have been recapped already, cap solder joints are all shiny and don't quite look stock, a few are just ever so slightly crooked, so I suspect they might have been redone, but a very nice job, better than mine would usually look, I tend to get a bit too much solder on them. I built a BlueSCSI kit and installed it on the drive edge connector and was able to push it down into the HD slot. I installed MacOS 8.0, though I think I might go back to 7.5.5 or 7.6.1, I think 8.0 is just a bit too sluggish on 68k, at least with only 20MB RAM for sure. Next I need to get a PDS or COMM slot ethernet adapter.
