1.   I just purchased a Mac IIsi.  Upon looking at the motherboard,
     I find that I have NO ROMS on the motherboard, and my ROMS
     are on the ROM SIMM.  Is this common?  Has this happened to
     others who got a IIsi?  Is something wrong with my motherboard
     that it could not use soldered ROMS?

2.   I now only have one FDHD drive, instead of the two on my SE.  I
     picked up a friends internal 800K from an upgrade, and I would
     like to connect the internal type flat ribbon cable to a DB-19
     connector like the external drive port.  Does anyone sell such
     an adapter?  What is the pinout of the flat ribbon cable?  Then, I
     could make my own since the DB-19 pinout is given in the books.

Any replies or inquires appreciated.  I'd prefer Email, but I read notes.
Write to me if you also want the answers.
