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…

I picked up two Kanga G3 Powerbooks in working condition and with a brand new "yo-yo" Power adapter recently for next to nothing. I sold one and am currently working on refurbishin…

Welcome aboard! I'm sure you will find these forums useful for anything and everything pertaining to 68K Macs. There is a reason your LCIII runs at 33MHz. There was a later revisi…

Hello everybody! i like old macs, and i like seeing what they can do. i believe that a 68000 can do much more than draw a bunch of lines on the screen.my favorite CPU though woul…

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…

My MicroConversions LC PDS video card actually requires a enhanced LC III PDS slot to support some features (?).

I was having a look at one of my LC boards today, and the LC PDS slot caught my eye...it just made me think - despite Apple releasing an enhanced LC PDS slot with the LCIII, which …

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 …

Then the only change was that holes were drilled in the case. I had assumed that the case without holes in the side must have had a speaker grill elsewhere, and so that the speaker…

My Classic two has the speaker grille but the speaker as far as I know has not moved in either iteration of Classic II!

There were indeed two different Classic II cases, the difference between them being the speaker location. Whether there was a corresponding change in the logic board configuration …

Both built in Singapore, and both boards indicate they were assembled there too. Pina's book lists the part numbers for the 4 chip ROM board only which is odd as it's dated 1993 w…
