Thank you so much it worked! I knew there is nothing wrong with my Apple IIgs. I knew it! I knew it is the best Apple II computer ever made my Apple, it beats all the other Apple I…

As my first post said, I tried adjusting focus control - it did nothing. I will replace R26 as Trag told me: "R26 is a 1 M ohm, 1/2 watt 5% resistor on the analog board." But is…

That sounds like one to keep an eye out for. Back when I bought my first Mac, I picked up (retail) a copy of Peachpit Press' Macintosh Bible (third or fourth edition?) That book …

I experimented with the image a little bit. It looks like the disk trashes itself somewhat after you first play it, as far as I can tell. While AppleWin can continue to work with…

Hello, I really appreciate it if someone can help me get this game running on my Apple II gs. The URL link to download the page and see what the game is, right here: http://www.ro…

Digi-Key lists Fairchild BU406FS-ND TO-220 pkg at 68 cents. Going with an original might be a safer bet. Larry Pina says avoid ECG379, it can cause left side screen foldback issu…

Several years ago I bought a small lot of transistors on Ebay that the seller had billed as BU406, but they turned out to be a mixture of Samsung (SEC) 13007F 2 and Motorola F13007…

What a coincidence! My local goodwill happens to have a copy of Macworld Mac Secrets 5th Edition. (Don't know if the CD was with it.) Though as far as I know they're not having …

"Secrets" is by far the best Mac book out there. It covers all those things the other books don't and includes some pretty detailed historical reference sections. The software is a…

. . . circa 1999, List Price: $49.99 . . .Complete WITH the original CD! 8-o This is just perfect for my OS 9.2 lifestyle! Snagged it at Goodwill, just now, on the way t…

By chance a friend dropped by with a broken SE today, giving me an excuse to open one up. There is indeed a focus control. Have you tried adjusting it? If it has no effect, then fo…

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?

Hi Gary, Did your tech check R26 to see if it is shorted or open? I ask because I've seen this exact problem on three or four Mac Pluses and Pina's recommendation to check the c…

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 …

We'll see how the CPU swap goes before I decide on overclocking. I actually have a Q605 and an LC475 as well as two 68040 donor machines, so I have some room for error. My end goal…
