Nice score as well! There used to be a Volunteers of America in Galloway, OH that had a separate computer store in it. IT was like walking into heaven. They shut it down because…

Excellent, thanks.

So you want to install a bigger hard drive? You will need: - 1 Phillips screwdriver - 1 flathead screwdriver - 1 40 pin IDE hard drive, any should do, even one scavenged from a…

Nice score! Finding little gadgets like that cheaply is always fun, especially things like those Netgear powerline modules. I've always found the idea interesting and have wanted…

Not so much direct Mac hardware, but this sure is making my PM9600/350 and 8500/G3 450 happy. Que Firewire CDRW external drive - Minus power supply - Repinned the power supply con…

I can't seem to find anything on the correct procedure on taking apart a Performa 6300CD (or 6320CD). Splitting Mac OS 8.6 and Debian between a 1.2GB HDD is quite a squeeze. Could…

Update: 575 board in CC with 37mb on the board with Mac OS 8.1 everything is running great! Now I just have to get the guts todo the 640x480 mod and figure out what's wrong with th…

Hi, My SE/30 could connect to network, the hard disk damage, I replaced the disk and ran the system installed 7.5.3 and upgraded to 7.5.5, I installed drivers for network card, b…

Also I'll be getting a 32mb module in the mail soon. Hopefully that will work.I'm also in the process of getting my hands on a ppc cpu that I can swap out on the 575 board.

I took the 550 board out and got the 575 board working without bus errors. I was doing the resedit hack wrong :-/ Overall the computer feels alot faster, I just need to modify …

It is worth trying to clean and lubricate your floppy drive mechanisms, as per instructions that can be found here and there, including from some of our members. I find that my flo…

I've had the 550 board in the Color Classic and it's working fine with it. I installed 512k of vram on the board and it has 8mb of ram so far, with Mac OS 7.6.1 installed. I bough…

If I understand what you have done and are trying to do, the problem is: a) that 8.1 will not run natively on the 550, and B) that, to my knowledge, you cannot use the ResEdit ha…

I'd sure like to know where you bought your 128mb module. Mine fit fine, but the computer wouldn't boot, screen stayed black. I put the ram in the 575 motherboard and the 550 moth…

It fit fine with the 128MB module? Both of my 128MB modules were too tall, I had to file off the screw peg in order for it to fit. Is the 550 RAM slot located in a different loca…

Nope, I pulled the 128mb out.

Did you read the reply above? Are you still attempting to boot with the 128MB stick installed?

I put a new floppy drive in the Color Classic and it's still not working. What could be wrong?

Also I tried installing Mac OS 8.1 today, wouldnt install, it said to read the manual. I'm thinking the 8mb isn't enough for Mac OS 8.1 :?: Click to expand... Considering the…

Okay I finally got the Color Classic running after a frustrating experience with the LC 575 motherboard. I bought an LC 550 which I received today with some cracked corners on the …

Did you ever figure anything out? I have a SE and an EtherWave and have been trying to get my SE on the net.

Try ZipIt. Geeze, I can't find DropStuff anymore. Um. Yeah, give ZipIt a try.

I'm unsure if simply Zipping a file will work. If you download MacZip for your old Mac, you could try just zipping a file on your MacBook and see if it transfers OK. Click to e…

Drop Stuff will binhex a file.
