I've been meaning to test soon-to-be #NetBSD 11 on my rescued Mac LC II with 10 megs of memory.

It had been crashing quite frequently, and I intended to find out why. I suspected some power / capacitor issues, or perhaps damage from when it got so oxidized before it was given to me.

Here we see a Macintosh LC II motherboard with oxidation on the ports and tantalum caps installed on a dollar store baking sheet. It has two 4 meg, 30 pin SIMMs installed, plus a single 512K VRAM SIMM, plus an LC-PDS ethernet card with two ethernet ports (it acts as a two port 10baseT hub). A 15 pin Mac video to VGA adapter is zip tied to the back of the motherboard.

It has a 2.5" UW-320 SCSI drive attached and it's powered by an OWC FireWire IDE enclosure. — Here we see a Macintosh LC II motherboard with oxidation on the ports and tantalum caps installed on a dollar store baking sheet.
