I'm on installing OS 8 on this machine. The HD utility in OS 8 does not recognize the HD as an Apple drive, so I used Lido again. Strangely Lido detects the drive as 78 gig, while …

Get the smallest soldering iron you can. Put a dab of new solder to get a nice shiny look on the solder. Just DON'T DO WHAT I DID. Make sure you have a desoldering tool, in case yo…

Nice score, especially the 6100!

Wow, great deal! :O The Macintosh LC 475 is a great Macintosh; I personally own one with a 9.1 GB Seagate and 16 MB of RAM, and I love it. and as for the dead hard drive in your…

Hi, a nice surprise from a friend: - LC475 - older style LCxx case, 32MB RAM/dead 80MB HD, a little lifeless at first but the old "jumpstart" of switching it on and off brought i…

Aaaa... the 6100 doesn't use IDE. It uses SCSI and I don't really remember an upper limit on the size of the hard drive. As long as you are running system 7.5.3 there really is not…

Worse things happen at sea y'know

If you've never done any soldering before, I suggest you practice on an old junk board before taking to your Mac Plus board. It's very easy to apply too much heat for too long and…

You mean "à propos de cet ordinateur", missed it on my way to control pannel like 5 times... there is 2 lines for memory, integrated memory is 8192kb, total is 16384kb. Is that in…

to do it right you should remove and re apply fresh solder (and flux) if you just reflow you are adding alot of old oxidization and contamination to the joint, and it probably wil…

Here's what I get for leaving iMacs on the curb. The assholes threw the iMac against the ground, ripped off the copper yoke and degauss coil, and left the rubbish parts on the …

Oh noes!

This thread deserves more photos... My "Redneck Repair" to the hard disk. Simple enough, when there's nothing to secure the drive in... improvise! In the great war that us 68k Mac…

Okay, I've read the famous PDF about classic mac procedures, and I'm pretty sure I need to fix the solder connections on the J1 connector. I'm a little unclear on exactly what to d…

Wow Great conquest! I love the Screen bezels on the 128/512k/plus. It looks like a tuxedo for some reason to me

You know who else has closet space now? wthww has closet space now.

I set 4 broken iMacs on the curb last night, as well as an IBM typewriter, some dead stereo equipment and a broken Apple StyleWriter, all from the (overcrowded) warehouse. I could …

The necessity for the system battery to approach its full 7.5V (NOTE: not full charge) before a depleted backup battery will recharge you will find many references to in these foru…

I took a quick measurement of the biggest dent, and it seems to be 1mm, maybe a little bigger give or take. The other two noticable dents are definitely not bigger than 1mm.

Depends - how small? If they were more than 1mm deep, I'd be dubious. Have you a lesser Duo you could try it out in?
