Hello,

It took me 2 days to put back my Quadra 700 in working state.
The hard-disk was dying, when I tried several time to boot from it, the power supply smoked...
After that, the floppy disk drive...

But at the end it's back to life and working.
I hope you like this video, I did fully English sub-titled it.

It would be nice if you would post that with pictures in the "System Specs" section instead of just generating traffic for your YouTube channel. Same with your IBM 5162 thing, etc.

Ok, this forum structure is a bit hard to understand. I will search a best place next time.

Yeah ! or even a quick description with a few pictures under "What retro activity did you get up to today?" would be nice.

Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun

Many thanks Errius I try my best to make them interesting and invest a lot of time to translate some of them.
But I struggle a bit to make them known.
