Oh, okay, thanks. Well, I'll track down some lubing chemicals and such and I'll give it a go on that floppy drive.
JDW recently suggested to me that I upload pics of the drive as…

It had 10.4 and I wiped it because it had a bunch of teacher crap.
I plan to put 9 on one partition and 10.5 on the other.
I've restarted the Machine a few times, and the CRT is …

It has now been several years since I last opened up a 400K drive, so my memory is foggy on certain details. But I can say with certainty that two things make direct contact with t…

I described what I did here:

Check the video cable connector, I've heard just insulating it with electrical tape can fix alot of bs depending on what is up with yours. (google a bunch, dont dye on crt, etc...)

My eMac is "special".
Here is the ritual of getting it started up:

Stupidly enough, OpenTransport 1.1.2 is only available as an update. This means you have to install OT 1.1.1 first, and then upgrade to 1.1.2, which is a bit of a bore. Having said…
Great, I'll give OT a shot. I found this website from apple:

I second Nico's suggestion to use Open Transport - while it is a bit of a memory hog as he said, it is much, much, much, much easier to configure than MacTCP, and supports DHCP, wh…
I've had some serious problems getting MacTCP to work with my Linksys WRT54GL router. Turns out those Linksys routers (and probably certain other brands as well) perform some kind …
Hi Folks,
A few weeks ago, before my Color Classic was Mystical, I started a post at viewtopic.php?f=7&t=10285 trying to get it on the internet. Now that the system speci…

You're very right, and I respect your decision. Sorry if I have been rude.

Sorry, but I'm going to go into rant mode here, mostly because I don't like MrMacPlus' response. It is indicative, in my mind, of a phenomena that I refer to as anti-spam fascism.…
