Perhaps it was a limited edition Woz "Classic II" with the II written in felt tip pen?

Yeah, I opened it up, it's a Classic motherboard. :-/ I kind of figured as much when the RAM I installed actually worked, well 1mb of it. Well crap, I got cheated. Anyone got …

Yeah, as I said, both the Classic and Classic II use the exact same slot, just that they're wired up differently, due to the differing purposes for which they're used, so they're p…

picked this up. I am having problems with my adapter and the Quadra. I got the machine up and noticed it has NetBSD|M68k on it. That was interesting, freaked me out that it had …

Can the memory expansion board in a Classic be mistakenly installed in a Classic II? They have an expansion slot in the same place, don't they? (It's been a while since I had mine …

meanwhile you got me fired up to rip apart my sony adapter, its simple enough 1 switch apple (and its natural refresh rate) and forced 60hz vga (which is kinda crappy for a crt, bu…

Yeah I'll try a CRT and I'll update.

that is true, most decent lcd's will let you get away with 60-72 hz but usually in the standard form of VGA, whereas multisync (most after the mid 90's) vga could handle pretty muc…

Another thing I just thought of...when old Macs run at 640x480, they traditionally like to run at 67 Hz (the refresh rate used by a lot of Apple displays). This works fine on just …

Have a look at the processor - the Mac Classic uses a 16 Mhz 68000, whereas the Classic II uses a 68030. Alternatively, try holding down Command-Option-X-O at startup. If it is a C…

I have some VGA CRTs... Not apple ones sadly. This adaptor has worked before on another monitor. Which I tested it on. Here are some pictures of the device.

With all the issues they had, even back when they were new, I'd imagine that a working 1710 series display would be rather hard to find nowadays.

Either that, or depending on what gear you're in, you'll soon see a flashing set of red and blue lights in your rear vision mirror.

You said you've got some CRTs, maybe you could try one of those...there is a chance that the adaptor may be faulty.

OK. So the Display is a NEC MultiSync LCD 1530V And Guess what the Adaptor is also made by NEC! Oh the Irony! It is still doing nothing. The Machine has no hard drive in it. A…

Contrary to popular opinion, going past the red line means you'll need a new gauge. psssh. //wthww

There is probably a better answer, but for starters if you're using system 7 it should say on the "About this Macintosh" page (from Apple menu) the model of the Macintosh that you'…

Oh man... I had that monitor for years until it went *pop* one day and never worked again. It was a BEAST to move around for LAN parties & whatnot, but I LOVED that monitor…

Oh, they're definitely 4mb SIMMs. I did a little searching and found that I was installing the SIMMs into the memory expansion card, and not the slots on the motherboard. So my n…

Sorry, it's a green wire. Although I'm pretty sure that doesn't matter

What is a Powertoggle? Click to expand... When you turn it on, wait for it to chime, and quickly shut it off and back on. It bypasses the need for a PRAM battery to be able to…

What is a Powertoggle?

The adaptor has no switches. I am away from home now. So I can't really get anymore details.

What sort of adaptor are you using? If you have an adaptor with DIP switches or a dial, you might want to adjust it to force the monitor to run at either 640x480 or 800x600.

I am pretty sure the display can display 800x600. The display is made by a company that starts with N I can't remember right now. I'll check later today and try resetting the PRA…
