Just a thought....you could paint it black, and use a matching black keyboard and mouse, and maybe go all-out with an OS skin, to make it look something like the TEMPEST SE in the …

If you are going to bother shipping boards out and back and paying for work to be done you should replace all the aluminum analytic SMT capacitors on the motherboard. They are all …

Personally, I went with a SCSI->IDE->CF card out the 2nd floppy slot. The "drive" access LED is also kind of useful. I've thought about mounting one in the floppy e…

Check out the, now "all but defunct," CC forum over on 'fritter for info on Color Classic Hacks. To get VGA off the MoBo, ISTR that you'll need to do whatever they call the hack th…

I like the notion of using body filler to fix the SE, but to give it "new look," I'd suggest sanding off ALL the texture and then spraying it, or better yet, powder coating it to g…

If I can find one more vintage Mac, I'm gonna force my friends into a Bolo LAN party. :rambo: Click to expand... Nice one.

Can you re-cap a Classic II board? If so, what's the cost including shipping and the caps from 43201? Thanks! Click to expand... If you send the logic board via United States P…

Any of us here into the case modding scene? I have a Macintosh SE FDHD here that shouldn't be too hard to get working again, looks like the HD is blown but that's all. The case ext…

I have a personal webhost I can put them on.

This time I'm gonna binhex them on my classic Mac before archiving. I'll set them up on an FTP. Since they're all abandonware, it should be perfectly legal for you all to snag co…

Oh, I'd be happy to make images of the software. I have to do that again anyway because at one point I had made images of most of my vintage software, then I copied all my images …

I was looking at bare bones LCD panels, and I can find them for around $20 or so for an 800x600 panel. However, finding pinout information was impossible even from the manufacture…

Don't be. The first computer I remember growing up on was an IBM XT Which was only a few years old. That machine was so slow, it couldn't even play the games that came out just …

Wow! I'm always amazed when people keep their things so nicely. But it's so wonderful when they do, isn't it? Great haul! I sure wish I'd bought an LC system back when I bought my…

Oh man, dunno. I have a Color Classic that I did my 640x480 mod on, I could stick my other upgrade card in there. I'm at work so my mind is racing over possibilities when I get h…

I don't really use my 8500 that much anymore. However, I downloaded your utility just in case I need it in the future and I wanted to make sure the documentation is as complete as …

So what he didn't mention in the description was: The LC is in its own box, complete with all software, manuals, original cords, keyboard, mouse, and styrofoam inserts. The high r…

only a female IDE port on them, same as the IDE to SD/CF adapter. Click to expand... So you make up a short IDE cable. 68-pin SCSI port on it. Click to expand... Perf…

Good job. This is the part where we mob you for disk (and disc) images.

Eggs-actly. Avoid the wet-slug style tantalums when buying replacement caps. Nearly all caps you will find today are solid, but there are some of the old wet types in surplus catal…

Niiiiiiiiice :O

Thanks for the correction, Henry. While I have read about the old "wet slug" tants that do have fluid inside, for more than 15 years I have never (neither professionally nor in my…

I officially *HATE* you with a passion. *breaks down into tears* Would you still be willing to let go of that TransWarp?
